We sent this message out to all our members - and I was very keen that you see this too because you were such a supporter of our library..I was sure you would be happy to read this. Today is also an extra special day because we now have 600 members at the library - of which some 250 are members who do not pay - they cannot pay, but they have full access to the library and to all its activities.

We are all very happy and have now decided to enlarge the library to include a prominent adult section - which will by no means be exhaustive of course.  So the shelves are getting done and we plan to open on the first anniversary of the Children's library.
 
I have a request : imagine that you had just ONE shelf on which to house your books and that that shelf carried just 25 books. Which would those be?  Fiction and non-fiction. Would you send me that list please?  When you have the time?

Thank you!

Also, we are collecting books that you or your friends may want to donate - on Saturday, the 28th of April 2012, at the Library, from 10 am to 7 pm. Would love to see you there, with or without books!

warm regards,

vibha

Dear Friends,

Half a dozen, a full six months!

Today we celebrate six months of joy at MCubed Library.

Thank you for being with us.

A 1000 new books are on our shelves...waiting just for you.

Let's hope for a lot more books in many nooks!

Medha and Ganesh and all of us at MCubed.

Tue, 04 Jan 2011 21:31:10 -0800 We never do this because we have brains !!!! http://vvk.posterous.com/we-never-do-this-because-we-have-brains http://vvk.posterous.com/we-never-do-this-because-we-have-brains

It was a Sports Stadium.

Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.

* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!

With the sound of Toy pistol,

All eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps,

when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down,

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently

And enquired as to how she was..

They then lifted the fallen girl pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post........ ..

There was pin drop silence at the spectator's stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps even God's!

YES.!! This happened in Hyderabad [ INDIA ], recently!

The sport was conducted by
National Institute of Mental Health.

All these special girls had come to participate in this event

They were spastic children.

Yes, they were Mentally Challenged.

What did they teach the WORLD.?

Teamwork.?

Humanity.?

Equality among all.??

Successful people help others who are
slow in learning

So that they are not left far behind.

This is really a great message... Spread it.!


We never do this because we have brains !!!!

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 03:52:00 -0800 The Wine Taster. http://vvk.posterous.com/the-wine-taster http://vvk.posterous.com/the-wine-taster

A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.

The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They tested him.


They gave him a glass with a drink.


He tried it and said, "It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."


"That’s correct", said the boss.


Another glass. "It’s red wine , cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels."

"Correct." The director was astonished.

He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She brought in a glass of urine.

The alcoholic tried it. "It’s a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month. And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll tell who’s the father!"

Wed, 17 Nov 2010 10:19:56 -0800 WALMART HAS EVERY THING http://vvk.posterous.com/walmart-has-every-thing http://vvk.posterous.com/walmart-has-every-thing

WALMART HAS EVERY THING

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe
says to Mike behind him,

"My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine

sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about

it.


It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a

doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine

sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy

activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began

wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from

his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten

dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Bay 9)

2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Bay 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.

5 If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Financial planning....


Image001


Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.

One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million."

Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 23:01:09 -0700 Breakfast Lunch and Dinner http://vvk.posterous.com/breakfast-lunch-and-dinner http://vvk.posterous.com/breakfast-lunch-and-dinner

 

Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

It seems that a young couple had just gotten married
and spent their first wedding night with the young man's
parents. In the morning, his mother got up and prepared
a lovely breakfast including freshly cut flowers from
her garden and gourmet food.

She went to the bottom the stairs and called everyone
to come down to breakfast. Everyone came down, except
the newlyweds. After a long wait, the family ate without
them.

The mother said, "I wonder why they never came down
to eat?"

The groom's young brother said, "Mommy, I think..."

"Oh, shut up. I don't want to hear what you think!"
said the mother, not wanting to hear any inappropriate
comments from the eight-year-old.

At lunch time, the mother again prepared a wonderful
spread and again called the young couple to eat. Five
minutes went by and she called again. After another
long wait, the family proceeded to eat.

As she was cleaning the table, mother once again said,
"I wonder why they never came down to eat?  Once again,
the younger brother started to speak, but mother immediately
shut him up.

At dinner the same thing happened. After the meal,
mother once again questioned why they had not come down
to eat all day. The young lad once again said, "Mommy
I think..."

"Well, what is it that you think?" asked the mother
rather testily.

"I think that when my big brother came down to get the
Vaseline last night, he got my model airplane glue instead!"

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 06:57:00 -0700 INSTALLING HUSBAND http://vvk.posterous.com/installing-husband http://vvk.posterous.com/installing-husband

INSTALLING HUSBAND !  
 A woman writes to the IT Technical support.....

Dear Tech Support,


Last year I upgraded from
Boyfriend 5.0  to  Husband 1.0   & I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower  &  jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under  Boyfriend 5.0 .

In addition,  Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5  &   Personal Attention 6.5,   &  then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0,  MONEY 3.0   & CRICKET 4.1 .

Conversation 8.0
 no longer runs,  &   Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running  Nagging 5.3  to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,
 
___  _______  
 
 
REPLY  

DEAR Madam,  


First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0  is an Entertainment Package, while  Husband 1.0  is an operating system.  

Please enter command:
ithoughtyoulovedme. html &  try to download Tears 6.2 &  do not forget to install the  Guilt 3.0  update. If that application works as designed,  Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0   &   Flowers 3.5..  

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause
Husband  1.0  to default to Silence 2.5  or  Beer 6.1 .
Please note that  
Beer 6.1  is a very bad program that will download the  Snoring Loudly Beta.  

Whatever you do,  
DO NOT  in  any circumstances install  Mother-In-Law 1.0  (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the
Boyfriend 5.0 .  These are unsupported applications &  will crash  Husband 1.0 .

In summary,  Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory &  cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory  & performance.  
We recommend:  
Cooking 3.0   &   Good Looks 7.7.  

Good Luck Madam!

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 01:36:07 -0700 7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children! http://vvk.posterous.com/7-reasons-not-to-mess-with-children http://vvk.posterous.com/7-reasons-not-to-mess-with-children
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human
because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it
was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they
were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see

each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the
drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied,
"They will in a minute."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five
and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she
asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and
sisters?"

Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered,
Thou shall not kill" [did u get it?]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~


One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at
the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands
of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your
hairs white, Mom?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make
me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said,
Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to
persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and
say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a

lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher,
She's dead."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to
make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the
blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position
the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school
for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made


a note, and posted on the apple tray:

"Take only ONE. God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a
large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 22:05:00 -0700 मोहल्ले मे लड़ाइयाँ (Funny Poem) http://vvk.posterous.com/funny-poem http://vvk.posterous.com/funny-poem

आपके मोहल्ले मे या यूँ कहूँ सबके मोहल्ले मे यह लड़ाइयाँ होती रहती हैं. चौपायों के लड़ने के पीछे की भावना हमे समझ मे नही आती है. वो मरते भी हैं तो हमे फ़र्क नही पड़ता जब तक वो आपके घर के सदस्य समान ना हों. ऐसी ही एक भावना और उससे जुड़ी एक घटना सुनाने का साहस कर रहा हूँ. आशा है आपको पसंद आएगी..


कि डेली पैंट शर्ट पहनने वाला पीलू
आज स्किन टाइट पहने
पीछे वाली गली मे खड़ा था
काफ़ी देर से गुप्ता जी के दरवाजे अड़ा था
नीचे गेट के जंगले से कोई झाँक रही थी
बाहर खड़े पीलू की पोज़िशन आंक रही थी

मुझे लगा अपने मोहल्ले की चिर परिचित पूसी है,
अरे नही दोस्तों यह तो गुप्ता जी की लूसी है.

बाहर खड़ा पीलू मंद मंद मुस्कुरा रहा था,
की "तुमसा नही देखा" यही गाना गा रहा था
तभी गुप्ताइन लूसी को लेकर बाहर आईं
देख लूसी को पीलू ने अपनी पूछ हिलाई

भाईसाहब उसके पीछे लग गये
इतने मे लूसी के भ्राता श्री जग गये.
अभी परसों ही इनसे झगड़े थे
और सेहत मैं इनसे मज़े के तगड़े थे
अभी कल ही बिछा बिछा कर मारा था
दवा दारू का खर्च आया हम पर सारा था
की आज फिर लूसी को छेड़ने जा रहे थे
दोबारा मार खाने का प्रोग्राम बना रहे थे.

हम उनसे पूछा "क्यूँ बे मरना है क्या ?"
अकड़ कर बोले प्यार किया तो डरना है क्या.

आज तो पीलू ने दीवानगी की हदे पार दी
देख लूसी को उसे आँख मारदी
की लूसी तो पीलू के ख्यालों मे खो गयी..
तभी बड़ी विकट एक अनहोनी हो गयी.

हाय हमारा पीलू था..... प्यारा,
बड़ी बुरी तरह बेरहमी से मारा.

उधर लूसी की डोली सज रही थी
इधर पीलु की मैयत उठ रही थी.

प्यारी लूसी को कोई और वर गया,
हाय हमारा दीवाना पीलू कंवारा मर गया

Three Parrots

A man wanted to buy his son a parrot as a birthday present.
The next day he went to the pet shop and saw
three identical parrots in a cage.

He asked the clerk, "how much for the parrot on the right?  

The owner said it was Rs.250.

Rs.250, the man said. "Well what does he do? 

"He knows how to use all of the functions of Microsoft Office 2000, responds the clerk. "He can do all of your spreadsheets and type all of your letters."

The man then asked what the second parrot cost. 

The clerk replied,Rs.500, but he not only knows Office 2000, but is an expert computer programmer. 

Finally, the man inquired about the cost of the last parrot. 

The clerk replied, "Rs.1,000." 

Curious as to how a bird can cost Rs.1,000, the man asked what this bird's specialty was. 

The clerk replies, "Well to be honest I haven't seen him do anything.

 

But the other two call him "BOSS"!!

The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.
 
After a short time out on the lawn Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.
 
A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.
 
Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.
 
A nephew who arrived late came up to Grandma and said,  "Hi, Grandma, you're looking good!  How are they treating you?"
 
Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew. . .
 
"They just won't let me fart!"
 
SHOW Some consideration J

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 22:33:00 -0700 WHY ONLY INDIANS ARE REBORN http://vvk.posterous.com/why-only-indians-are-reborn http://vvk.posterous.com/why-only-indians-are-reborn

WHY ONLY INDIANS ARE REBORN ...

The angel Gabriel came to the Lord and said 'I have to talk to you. We have
some Indians up here in heaven and they are causing problems. They're
swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, they are wearing Dolce and
Gabana saris instead of their white robes, they are riding Mercedes and
BMW's instead of the chariots, and they're selling their halos to people for
discounted prices. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear, since
they keep crouching down midway eating samosas and drinking chai (tea). Some of them are even walking around with just one wing!'

The Lord said, 'Indians are Indians. Heaven is home to all my children. If
you want to know about real
problems, give Satan a call.'

Satan answered the phone, 'Hello? Damn, hold on a minute.' Satan returned to the phone, 'OK I'm back. What can I do for you?'

Gabriel replied, 'I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having
down there.'

Satan says, 'Hold on again. I need to check on something.'

After about 5 minutes Satan returns to the phone and said, 'I'm back. Now
what was the question?'

Gabriel said, 'What kind of problems are you having down there?'

Satan says, 'Man I don't believe this .. Hold on.'


This time Satan was gone at least 15 minutes. He returned and said, "I'm
sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now.. These Indians are trying to install
air conditioning and making hell a comfortable place to live in by putting
out the fire..fire is there to keep them uncomfortably hot!! Since they are
so tech savvy, they were trying to start a telephone and IIT connection
between heaven and hell between ME and GOD. I am having such a hard time
controlling and dealing with them!! Some were trying to start a chai -pakora, Chole batura, channa, Dosa and samosa, barfi, Chakli and
Dokla,
Jalebi, Idli, Paan shops,  which I had to stop..I am requesting you OH
LORD PLEASE send them back to earth as soon as they arrive for re-birth".

So this is the story why Indians are the only ones that are re-born!!!

Hotel offers free meal to guests who are willing to generate        electricity 

10image

The Crown Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen , Denmark , is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike attached to a generator. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. They will then be given meal vouchers worth $36 (26 euros).

Disco pub gets electricity produced by people dancing at specially modified dance floor  

7image


All the flashing strobes and pounding speakers at the dance club are massive consumers of electrical power. So Bar Surya, in London, re-outfitted its floor with springs that, when compressed by dancers, could produce electrical current that would be stored in batteries and used to offset some of the club's electrical burden. The club's owner, Andrew Charalambous, said the dance floor can now power 60 percent of the club's energy needs.

Company creates a desktop printer that doesn't use ink nor paper
Image

Who says printers only use paper to print documents? It's time for you to meet the PrePeat Printer then. Different from conventional printers, PrePeat adopts a thermal head to print on specially-made plastic sheets. These plastic sheets are not merely water-proof, but could be easily erased, just feed the sheets through the printer again, and a different temperature will erase everything or just write over it. Also claimed by the manufacturer, such one sheet could be used up to 1,000 times so that you'll reduce your expenses on paper for sure.

University constructs a green roof as a gathering place 
11image

Green design is an enormously popular trend in modern architecture, just take a look at this amazing green roof at the School of Art , Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore . This 5-story facility sweeps a wooded corner of the campus with an organic, vegetated form that blends landscape and structure, nature and high-tech and symbolizes the creativity it houses. The roofs serve as informal gathering spaces challenging linear ideas and stirring perception. The roofs create open space, insulate the building, cool the surrounding air and harvest rainwater for landscaping irrigation. Planted grasses mix with native greenery to colonize the building and bond it to the setting.

Designer creates a sink that uses wasted water to grow a plant

3image

Made of polished stained concrete, the Zen Garden Sink has a channel that allows the water used while washing your hands to water a plant. Created by young Montreal designer Jean-Michel Gauvreau the sink comes in single or double basin model. The sink is designed in a way you won't get your plants all soapy. There is a main drain at the bottom of the basin for soapy grime. Your little plant friend just gets whatever you choose to dole out.

Designer creates a shower that forces you to leave when you've wasted too much water

2image

20% of our total domestic energy usage is from hot water for showering and bathing. That's over 6 times the energy usage of domestic lighting. So designer Tommaso Colia came up with his eco-friendly shower design that will force you to get out when you take too long and waste much water. The eco_drop shower features beautiful concentric circles that will rise to force you to stop showering when you take too long, and accordingly save water.

Designer creates light-switch that changes colors to teach children how to save energy  

7image


Teaching the importance of energy conservation is the goal of this design from Tim Holley. He calls it Tio, and it's a ghost-shaped light switch that gives kids a visual reminder of how much energy they've used by leaving lights on. Tio starts out green and smiling. If the light is left on for more than four hours, he turns yellow and looks shocked. And if you dare to leave that light on for more than eight hours, sweet little Tio turns into a raging red hulk, complete with frowny mouth and angry eyes. But he won't just visually remind your kids about their energy habits; information from the light switch is sent to Tio's computer program so the entire family can see how they're doing. In a brilliant piece of visual positive reinforcement, Holley's program lets kids grow a ⤽virtual tree⤠which gets bigger and healthier the more energy they save.

Environmental company creates a staple-free stapler to avoid staple pollution

Image

Staples are supposed to be so bad to the environment that a company decided to create a staple-free stapler. This product promises to make collation eco-friendly. Instead of using those thin metal planet-killers, the staple-free stapler "cuts out tiny strips of paper and uses the strips to stitch up to five pieces of paper together." You can even order them customized with your corporate logo so you can, you know, brag about what your company is doing to stop the staple epidemic.

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 06:39:00 -0700 The Chinese Torture http://vvk.posterous.com/the-chinese-torture http://vvk.posterous.com/the-chinese-torture

A young man is wandering and lost in a forest when he comes upon a small house. Knocking on the door, he is greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long gray beard. "I'm lost," said the young man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old, and entered the house. 
 
During dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic body. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. During the night, he could bear it no longer and snuck into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet, so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy. 
 
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes, he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought."If that's the best the old man can do, then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window, and threw the boulder out. 
 
 
As he did so, he noticed another note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. 
 
 
As he plummeted towards the ground, he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bed post."

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 20:50:00 -0700 Why Indian Students are attacked abroad? http://vvk.posterous.com/why-indian-students-are-attacked-abroad http://vvk.posterous.com/why-indian-students-are-attacked-abroad

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: ' Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.

'Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?''

Again no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.'

She heard a loud whisper: 'F ___ the Indians,'

'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1862.'

At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'

The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?' Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese  Prime Minister, 1991.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'

Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky,1997'

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ' Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!' And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'I think it was Lehmann Brothers, September 4th, 2008'.
