Steps to being ultimate cool

In today’s world of uncertainty, where chaos, social unrest, panic, utter embarrassment, repugnance and self-loathing is ubiquitous, with random people running helter-skelter brandishing their axes, swords, Rambo knives, Trishul, obelus etc., to slay each others’ pig, cow, buffalo, goat and other domesticated animals, there is one (O-N-E) subtle way to remain tranquil amid all evil. Yes, prodigy! You got it right. Being “cool” let you enjoy better physical, mental and oral health.

Remnants of inner thoughts, part-I

Hello! Dear comrades. My name is M. Loather Octopus. I am a free thinking Neo-Communist (anti-Batista), car racing enthusiast, beer aficionado, connoisseur of Russian women and malt whisky, the chief of refined taste and innovation, secretary to the government of internal bleeding and swelling, Nagasaki bombing survivor, mastermind behind 10/11, fan of Al-Sheek-Kabab Mujahideen, descendant of Esau and Star ship commander. From the time when I was young, I often caught myself thinking deep dark things. Most of the time, these thoughts don’t relate to anything, but other times whimsical, retarded or downright insane. As I grew older, I was always fascinated by fictional characters. In loving memory of those great souls/characters, who, i always look up and fascinate– not sexually but in a manner of admiration, may i present to you...(drum rolllllllls)Robert Langdon,Thomas Anderson, Optimus Prime,the Terminator,the Grrreat Shaolin maaaster,Jean luc Picard, Robin Hood and the Phantom; the...

Math Problems

A name-brand bottle of rum costs $12.95. The generic brand sells for $7.50. If a math teacher buys 4 bottles of generic rum each week, how much does he save each month? How much does he save each year? How much money does the teacher save over the course of 11 years? A math teacher’s new apartment is approximately 12 ft. long and 5 ft. wide and the bathroom takes up 50% of the apartment. A normal, human-sized bed is 6 ft. by 3 ft. Does he have enough room for a standard bed? Or will he have to sleep in some kind of dog bed? By order of the high courts, a math teacher must keep a 1000 ft distance from his ex-wife at all times. Say, theoretically, she lives on 63rd and 1st, exactly half-way between his apartment and the school. How far out of the way does the teacher have to walk every morning just to keep from getting arrested? A math teacher is frightened 95% of the time. How many hours a day is he frightened? What is he so afraid of? After 11 years of service, a math teacher receives ...
