Random rants - 2

I hate f**in smoke alarms - I absolutely hate those bloody things. And I dont smoke. These bloody things are "Mandated" by law in every house. Stupid things sit like idiots on dope, and go off when cooking food !! Ive set off the alarms twice now, and only due to cooking. And when it beeps the only way to make it stop is to cover it with a towel or cloth, and just wait and hope it stops beeping - you cant even yank the f**in thing out of the wall - as that is illegal again. So much for "safety device" - just another form of control....piece of sh**... I'm so glad we build houses of stone and bricks in india - and not wood, and so dont have these crappy things installed by "law"

Bloggers seem to be optimistic - whenever a bad thing happens, instead of cribbing they immediately think of it as new material for the blog and become happy about it instead. I was just talking to a friend recently and she confirmed the same !

Scientists are going mad. They've injected spider DNA into goats - and now use the goat milk to extract proteins to make some strong thread like spider thread ! What the hell.

Fruit flies that bore offspring late in their life systematically passed genes of longer life span to their offspring . So over 100 generations, the offspring of the offspring of the offspring of the....(100 times) of the initial fly - had 3 times longer a lifespan.

So scientists think that if every offspring of humans started having kids late in life around 30-40yrs - by the year 3000, we'd have humans living 200-300 years easy.

But this kinda also reminds me of something i read in the bible - there are mentions of the first women on earth giving birth to children well into three digit ages, and people living 500-600 years....strange isnt it.

so doing reverse engineering, somewhere along the way, women must have started having kids earlier and earlier till we ended up with short life spans as we do now !

Its hard to wake up in the morning. And its just a mental thing. Not the time zone, not the temperature - just all in the mind. Weekends i get up at 6 and cant sleep even if i want to...weekdays no matter how much I sleep (and i sleep at least 8 hrs or more) I find it hard to get up at 6

sheesh

There are potholes in usa as well - not just an indian phenomena. Only difference is here its fixed at least within a few days or weeks of its appearance, unlike in india where potholes become landmarks. People can even tell directions based on potholes "take the road to the big hole on the road, take a right to the next hole, and ...". There are potholes in udupi that grew along with me. As I grew up in size (all directions) so did the potholes (in all directions) - i miss my friends

Socks turn up at the weirdest places. My gray left sock's long lost twin suddenly turned up today - but i have no idea as to where it came from. I am sure there is some abduction conspiracy out there - they are abducting my socks one by one and doing tests on them and returning them to my room.
