When i first come to America, my english did cause me problems. In Soviet Russia i was strong teacher, my english i know is the best in all of Petropavlovsk. My brother, Mikhail, he say to me, "Nikolai you go to America, they make you rich like czar, take many woman as lover, kill many bear". My brother, he is very wise, is greatest toymaker in all of Russia. So next day i wake up, sell my house, say goodbye to wife and children, and go to America to become millionaire. Then in America, I go to job interview and they say to me "Nikolai, you are not for the job here, you are not the skills we need, your english is poor like child". I take that man and smash his table, i say "someday i will be greatest man in all of country, your children will wish me their father!". That day my anger is best of me. It is then i know i must learn better english, so i buy book "English Grammer it is for Dummies" by Mr.Woods. Now i am perfect english grammer! I write letter to Mikhail, he write back "Nikolai, your english is like a god, you will be millionaire soon! all of Petropavlovsk is proud for you! good luck brother! please send letter when you are president or maybe even czar! Hahaha! also, your wife is killed by bear". So i say thanks to Mr.Woods for his book! When i am czar your family will be spared! More >>

An Ingenious Plan to Pay All Debts.

2011-02-01T19:32:00.000-08:00

“It is the month of August, on the shores of Tahoe lake . It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

”Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.

”He enters the only hotel, lays a 100-euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.

”The hotel proprietor takes the 100-euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

”The butcher takes the 100-euro note and runs to pay what he owes the pig farmer.

”The pig farmer takes the 100-euro note and runs to pay his debt to his supplier of feed and fuel.

”The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100-euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town’s prostitute that, in these hard times, proffered her ’services’ on credit.

”The prostitute take the 100-euro note and runs to the hotel to pay for the rooms she rented when she brought her clients there.

”The hotel proprietor then lays the 100-euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.

”At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, takes the 100-euro note off the desk, tucks it back into his wallet, and explains that he did not like any of the rooms. He then leaves town.

”No one earned a penny. However, the whole town is now without debt and looks to the future with great optimism.

How to park for cheap in New York.

2010-07-01T18:32:00.000-07:00

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys of his new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.

The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese man for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The Chinese man replies: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”

Coffeethe most expensive in the world.

2010-05-01T22:42:00.000-07:00

Kopi Luwak or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet. Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound. Most of the stuff sold in the US is fake. Before you decide to shell out $50/cup, make sure you get certificate of authenticity from a coffee place.

How many years before we run out of oil?

According to trusted and the most reputable online source — Wikipedia, if the world keeps eating as much oil as it does now, the brownish liquid, we feed our cars with, would be exhausted soon. The answer to why we are seeing our 1040 bucks channeled to wind, solar, thermal and, whatnot, very expensive "gadgets".

Lucky countries which were born with oil underneath. Listed in descending order by reserves capacity (Source)

Saudi Arabia — our best friend
Canada — our friend

United States — we are trying.. to not use our stash
China — oh no

300 million Americans eat more oil than 1.3 billion Chinese!

Did you know that, petroleum is not the most efficient energy source? Only 30% of petroleum is converted into mechanical energy, the rest is a waste heat.

The most efficient alternative energy source is Uranium.

Do not worry about oil deficit, we can live thousands of years on uranium until we discover another efficient and abundant energy source.

I Heart You.

2009-12-12T21:31:00.001-08:00

Question: Why the shape of a heart symbol, we are so used to seeing everywhere, differs from what the real heart looks like?

Answer: Nobody knows for sure.

Smart guys with thick glasses speculate that "The Shape of My Heart" © Sting resembles:

1) Body part that is located below belly button in female and male human species.

2) Body part that is located below lowermost part of the face and above the belly button in female human species.

3) Body part that is located at the end of spinal cord in female and male human species.

Smart guys with thicker glasses argue and suggest that the origin of the heart symbol is derived from Silphium plant seed, a plant, which folks who lived in Cyrene, (7th century BC) used as a birth control pill.

Tooth Brush was Invented in Prison.

2009-11-07T23:40:00.000-08:00

When homo sapients evolved from chimpanzees, initially they did not need to brush their teeth. Cavities evolved concurrently with dietary changes. Wild animals never brushed teeth and had no problems with cavities.

( Pets of course are a different story. We invented Whiskas and Pedigree Pal, which created demand for for the Pet Dentistries).

In early ages, people used rag with soot and salt, to do their occasional teeth maintenance.

||||||||||||||_____________________

An English guy named William Addis, while serving term in prison, had nothing else to do but think about teeth. The result — tooth brush invention.

171 years later, an outfit named Frank bluntly stole this idea and patented it.

Colgate, Procter and Gamble and others monetized that invention later on.

Cool handle designs to compensate for less bristles.

The reason why every year we see less and less bristles on our brushes is the result of cost savings. Bristles are the most expensive part of the toothbrush.

Expensive American Fast Food - Sushi.

2009-10-30T00:04:00.000-07:00

Did you know?

... that McDonald brothers were not the original inventors of fast food? About 100 years, prior to hamburger, Hanaya Yohei came up with an idea on how to capitalize on food that could be prepared quickly - sushi.

He noticed that very popular Japanese sushi preparation was taking way too long, because of fermentation. The science behind the fermentation of fish packed in rice was that the vinegar produced from fermenting rice breaks the fish down into amino acids. Once the fish was fermented, rice was dumped ("what a waste" - Hanaya thought)

Sushi comes to America.

1970s "sushinization" of America started in the city of Los Angeles, where significant number of of Japanese settled down after the World War II. To add some Asian flavor, sushi eating experience was accompanied by chopsticks (which are/were rarely used to eat sushi in Japan).

Next challenge, which had to be addressed - was it safe to eat raw fish? Major health related PR outlets were fed with reports, indicating that raw fish = very good.

All of a sudden, health industry PR outlets "forgot" about raw fish having lots of health risks- high levels of mercury, parasite infection, soy sauce (high levels of sodium) disappeared from health studies.

How to eat sushi properly.

While many dip the rice side into the soy sauce, traditional etiquette insists instead that the sushi is turned over so that the topping is dipped, as proper loosely packed rice might fall apart. The practice of mixing wasabi and soy sauce together is also an American invention, and not a proper etiquette in Japan.

Pop-corny facts.

2009-09-17T10:56:00.000-07:00

— This movie snack was originally discovered by Indians thousands of years ago. Officially popcorn was introduced to white invaders during the first Thanksgiving celebration.

—If you do not have microwave available, you can still pop it using your cell phone.

—Medium sized box you buy at the theater has more popcorn than the the large one.

— Each kernel of popcorn contains a small drop of water stored inside a circle of soft starch. When a popcorn kernel heats up, the moisture inside the kernel expands until the hard shell cannot withstand the pressure and explodes. In a fraction of a second, the over-heated starch inside the kernel puffs up by the moisture pressure, forming a white fluffy thingy we put in our mouth when we watch movies.

—Popcorn business became a "pop corn bubble" (similar to dot com buble) during Great Depression. It was a cheap food, even a street bum could afford. One of the companies who promptly capitalized on pop corn bubble were folks at jollytime.com who are still popping.

—You can make some tasty dishes out of popcorn.

Amazing creatures. Not only they are well known for the ability to promptly change their skin color, but they also come with quite the unique feature list:

Very long tongue, sometimes as long as their body.
No need for glasses to watch 3D movies, their eyes are already stereoscopic.
Ability to stay still (freeze) for an extended period of time.
Deaf.

One of the mistaken perceptions — chameleons change color only to camouflage. Yes and no! They also change their color to mingle and get laid. Color changing is based on very similar process we see at Home Depot. Yes, they do mix different paints (cells/RGB/PMS) to produce desired color.

Chameleons can be petted. There are places which breed them to be sold.

Toilets cultural differences.

2009-06-16T22:23:00.000-07:00

Toilet customs and facilities vary from country to country. The most advanced and cleanest facilities, can be found in Japan.

The worst can be experienced in India, Africa and other third world countries. World Toilet Organization makes sure that everyone gets decent toilets.

Some differences are noticed in the process of visiting "the facilities".While in some countries, like India, public urinating (as well as baking brownies) is an absolutely normal process, the others,are so embarrassed of their bodily natural processes, so that they even had to come up with devices to mute the sounds.

Most of Arabic countries oppose to using toilet paper. That of course, does not come from the desire to be environmentally friendly. How they do it? They just use their bare hand (always left one).

Some guys, who wear thick glasses, claim that shared emotions is what is making long marriages look like incest. Others, are swearing that shared diet and lifestyle is to be blamed.

A common misconception.

2008-05-12T22:51:00.000-07:00

A common misconception about cattle (particularly bulls) is that they are enraged by the color red (something provocative is often said to be "like a red rag to a bull"). This is incorrect, as cattle are red-green color-blind.

Another popular misconception — the Ostrich is famous for hiding its head in the sand at the first sign of danger.

Saving space in your fridge: square watermelons!

2008-04-19T23:30:00.000-07:00

For years consumers struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around.

But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western island of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored.

Today the cuboid watermelons are hand-picked and shipped all over Japan.

Here is another space saving idea from Japan

Food service.

2008-03-18T21:57:00.000-07:00

Some personal observations..

Q: How does a server know that you are ready to order?
A: If the menu is closed.

Most of good restaurants have thick menus with fancy foreign named dishes. When server comes, one has to open menu again and spend time looking for his/her choice ..again.

Italian restaurants ordinarily serve lots of bread and oil, before main dish is ordered. By the time waiter arrives, people are not as hungry, thus they tend to order less than they originally planned — before the bread.

Daylight saving time (DST).

2008-03-06T17:05:00.000-08:00

Do not forget to shift your life back one hour this weekend.
Some interesting facts:

The practice of DST is controversial. Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but causes problems for farming and other occupations tied to the sun.

An early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity; modern heating and cooling usage patterns can cause DST to increase electricity consumption (power companies of course have nothing to do with this law).

Hawaii and some parts of Arizona ignore this.

Each year in the U.S., the Daylight Saving Time period closes near the end of October, about a week before Election Day. The extension of Daylight Saving Time into November has been proposed as a way to encourage greater voter participation.
