The Aliens V/s Predator post

Well, I've always been a fan of Gigers works and the Xenomorphs are by far one of the coolest. But the Yautja's (or Predator's) are no less cool either. Both species are extremely strong and savage in their ways following only their instincts to kill and survive. Just fascinating!

Anyways...I got some AVP action figures recently and took a few pix after putting 'em together. Watch!

Let me show you the best ones first!

Here's something really funny i got in an email. Thought i'd put it up here!

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

' If GM had developed technology(!) like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows,shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. '

How to avoid being roasted by lightning!

Hey there! Here's a poem I wrote sometime back and I had posted this on the Skoar! forums in the Verse or Worse thread. It's a poem about Death. Read it.


The lone wolf looks upward.
The crimson skies cry pain.
With a chilling howl it announces its master’s arrival.
Sorrow stalks the land again.

The populace flee, gripping children tight,
the reaper walks, treading light.
The scythe falls, a woman wailed.
The young boy fought, but pitifully failed.

All around, the land smelled of rot and decay,
could they possibly see, another day?
Death looked up, smiled and said :
"Fear not, for i'm a cleanser, not an abberration,
Death is not the end, but merely......a transition."

And basically, thats the only thing that saves you from becoming roast sapein when caught in a lightning storm.
See, there are always 2 kinds of people - those who chose to come out roasted after being struck by lightning. All black and charred and burnt and smelly and crispy. Then there are those, who realize that the electricity can be used to achieve something far greater - that instead of being roasted, you can come out of it galvanized. so you end up being much stronger than you were. Shinier than you were. Better than you were.

Thats how it's worked here. Things couldnt have been better. Sitting up at 6am, with a glass of hot lemon tea, cold water, Pepsi and pop corn in front of me. All waiting for me to ingest them. All this while listening to Pink Floyd! And thinking of that one great email that made my day. That one great email that made me smile like a schoolgirl with a crush on her teacher! I swear - this would never have come to pass had I chosen to be roasted! Awesome!

Other stuff - my company is celebrating the annual Townhall this Sunday - so i'm playing with my band of colelagues (well - directors really) and im really inspired to play the guitar more sincerely now. Especially since I saw a few Paul Gilbert videos and almost found myself a new hole! Damn - will I ever get to that level of mastery? If I could just play that fast - anything! God...even chromatics would do!! But i'm going to keep practicing.

Well...what else...oh yeah...I got moved up to moderator on the Skoar! forums. So now I get to play God (or at least God's errand boy). Good things happening. Life is beautiful and i'm a lot more shinier now.

I guess it's because if you dont know how not to get roasted by lightning, then you will learn it. And learning can never be bad.
