How Will You Define Man ?

Man (human being) is considered to be the most intelligent and social animal on this planet earth. Here is what Samual Butler has to say about homo sapiens

Man is the only animal
that can remain on friendly terms
with the victims he intends to eat
until he eats them.

Another Bite Of Mathematical Puzzle

In my post on March 22 I had given a puzzle but nobody seems to have got solution. Before I give you the solution here is one more similar bite.

30 * 20 = 500

25 * 15 = 400

33 * 22 = 605

24 * 18 = 252

then

27 * 22 = ???

Solution to puzzle of March 22

1 * 2 = 1² + 2² = 1 + 4 = 5

3 * 4 = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25

5 * 6 = 5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61

7 * 8 = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113

9 * 10 = 9² + 10² = 81 + 100 =181

Thus the answer is 181.

Post your solution as comment. I shall give solution on April,6.

A JUMPER...

Will you dare to jump out of a plane flying at a height of say, ten thousand feet ?
Hoo...Hoo...Hoo...what a silly question ?
Wait my dear friend...there is still something to add !
You have to jump without a parachute !!!
No ?
And if you are offered one million dollars to do so ...
Still No ?
Everybody knows that one million dollars will go to your legal heir if you accepted the deal.

NOW READ THIS

A British Air-force Sergeant, Nicholas Alkemade jumped out of a burning plane from a height of about 18000 feet without parachute. He landed in deep snow after crashing through pine trees and survived. He was not even seriously injured. The aim was to end his life earlier instead of enduring the pain of burning before death. But...!!!

DO YOU KNOW ?

...that Marie Curie, better known for her work
in radioactivity, holds a unique record of receiving
the Nobel Prize twice ! Even more interesting fact is
that she received it in 1903 for her work in physics
and then in 1911 for her work in chemistry !

ONE MORE JOKE...

Here is one more bite of laughter.

An amorous-minded doctor was in bed with his wife on one of their few occasions together, and refused to be dragged out by any patient.
When a call came, he asked his wife to answer the bedside phone. The person on phone described his emergency. The wife told the man on the other side that the doctor was out and prescribed what the doctor whispered.

"Thank you," said the voice at the other end, "but is that gentleman in bed with you fully qualified ?"

A JOKE FOR TODAY

Scientists say that laughter is the best - what do you think I am going to say ?... No it is not 'medicine' - nowadays it has become an obsolete word. For me the saying goes like this...Laughter is the only vitamin with 100 times more effect than viag...!!! So let's laugh for a while.

A middle aged woman screamed into the phone : "Send someone over quickly! Two naked bikers are climbing up toward my bedroom window."
"This is the Fire Department, lady," the voice replied, " I'll have to transfer you to the Police Department."
"No, it's you I want," she yelled, " they need a longer ladder!"

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING ?

Since the beginning of human civilization, the word 'LIFE' has been ever-debated term due to the complexities one finds throughout life. Is Life Worth Living ? Let us see what Erich Fromm has to say :

A new question has arisen in modern man's
mind, the question, namely, whether the life is
worth living...No sensible answer can be given to
the question...because the question does not make any sense.

WOMAN AT DIFFERENT AGES

Some years back a friend of mine had told me 'THIS' to define a woman at different stages of life measured in years. I know I should not talk about the "AGE" of a woman but it is so well described that I cannot help myself.

08 - You take her to bed and tell her a story.
18 - You tell her a story and take her to bed.
28 - You don't need to tell her a story, to take her to bed.
38 - She tells you a story and takes you to bed.
48 - You tell her a story to avoid going to bed.

A BITE ON "VICTORY"

There is nobody who when defeated has a feeling of pride. Everybody wants to WIN. Bill Veeck was a base ball executive who during a discussion had to say these words about Winning:

I don't think that winning is the most important thing.
I think winning is the only thing.

A Mathematical Puzzle

Here is a puzzle; not much difficult, just some thinking and some analysis of what is given to get answer; try your way. I shall give the solution in my post on March 30, if nobody could solve it. You can post your solutions as comment. So here it is : If

1 * 2 = 5
3 * 4 = 25
5 * 6 = 61
7 * 8 = 113
then,
9 * 10 = ?

A BITE ON "TALKING"

Were you ever asked in school to write the opposite of 'talking' ? What do you think is the answer ? O.K. Swallow this thought by Fran Lebowitz...

The opposite of talking isn't listening.
The opposite of talking is waiting

FIRST BITE - ON STATISTICS

Statistics, as we all know (Do we really?!?!) is a scientific method of studying phenomena. Here is what Aaron Levenstein has said about Statistics :

Statistics are like a bikini.
What they reveal is suggestive,
but what they conceal is vital.

MY AIM

My AIM is to try to serve a small piece everyday which may be a thought, a funny thing or an interesting information. I shall try to remain regular on the blog.
