Take NOTHING for granted!

Be sure to catch the FootNote at very end!  Wow!


Take NOTHING for granted!
 Watch the man on the left walking, crossing the road where there is no car . It is so definite that the coast on the left is clear,


 and safe to cross.
Any person would see it is safe... .

Take nothing for granted, not even for a split second!

 Be grateful for every living minute! 

VIDEO CAPTURED BY TRAFFIC CAMERA !!!!

'Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets;

So love the people who treat you right,
forget about the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.

FootNote: Believe it or not the pedestrian in the intersection lived! He was saved by the imprint that the PT Cruiser left in the driver's side of the Subaru. When the Subaru went over him, it came down on him right where the dent in the car was made, and did not crush him!  Another 'angel on your shoulder' event!

Company Logos and their Meanings( 6 images)

)Company Logos and their Meanings :



Ever wondered what company logos mean and whats the significance behind them? Wonder no more!



How many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo. Yeah, About the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.



You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.



Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it.

People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.

Kinda like the surreal green screen of The Matrix, they want us to read stuff in binary



Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM logo in 1972) designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981. I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions



The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular.



The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.



This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic. This game involves unravelling four clues. The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze. and from a distance, the logo looks like a key

A lion was Married

A lion was getting married. At his wedding was a mouse shouting away and congratulating the lion

"All the best, my brother. Good luck."

Seeing the mouse shouting away claiming that the lion getting married is his brother, another Lion grabs the mouse in anger and asks: "Who the hell do you think you are? How can a lion be your brother? You are only a mouse."

The Mouse replies:
"I, too, was a Lion before I got married."

The Indian Way Vs. The English Way

An Englishman and an Indian are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

The Englishman is thinking that Indians are so dumbthat he could put one over them easy.

So the Englishman asks if the Indian would like to play a fun game.

The Indian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.

The Englishman persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," he says.

This catches the Indian's attention and to keep the Englishman quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The Englishman asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'

The Indian doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the Englishman.

Now it's the Indian's turn. He asks, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Englishman uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail.  After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the Indian and hands him $500. The Indian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The Englishman is going nuts not knowing the answer.  He wakes the Indian up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Indian reaches into his pocket, hands the Englishman $5 and goes back to sleep.

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School

1) Einstein got bad grades in school.
Generations of children have been heartened by the thought that this Nobel Prize winner did badly at school, but they’re sadly mistaken. In fact, he did very well at school, especially in science and maths (unsurprisingly).



2) Mice like cheese
Mice enjoy food rich in sugar as well as peanut butter and breakfast cereals. So a Snickers bar would go down much better than a lump of cheddar.


3) Napoleon was short.
He was actually around 5ft 7, completely average for the 18th/19th century.


4) Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
Edison invented a lot of things – in fact he’s one of the most famous inventors of all time – but the light bulb wasn’t one of them. What he did was develop a light bulb at the same time as the British man, Joseph Swan, who came up with it originally.


5) Lemmings throw themselves over cliffs to commit suicide
The poor old things are sometimes so desperate for food that they do, according to the BBC “jump over high ground into water”, but they aren’t committing group suicide.


6) Water flushes differently in different hemispheres
No it doesn’t. Sorry!

7) Humans evolved from apes
Darwin didn’t actually say this, but he’s been misreported ever since. What he did say was that we, and apes, and chimpanzees for that matter, had a common ancestor, once, a long, long time ago.

8)Vikings had horns/helmets with horns.
Vikings may have been buried with their helmets and with drinking horns. When they were dug up by the Victorians, they assumed that the helmets had horns.

9) Columbus believed the earth was flat
He may not have known how big the world was, but he wasn’t worrying about falling off the edge of it.

10) Different parts of the tongue detect different tastes
You do have different taste buds on your tongue and some are more sensitive than others. But they aren’t divided into perfect, easy-to-teach sections.

*I Don not Know if These Facts are true or False,I just found it and said I would share it with you guys :)
