Are they being sarcastic or just plain dumb?

The headline at rediff says in bold "Narain 19th in second German GP practice"

Leaving behind his technical snags, Narain Karthikeyan scorched the 4.5740-km Hockenheimring, touching speeds up to 323 kmph to finish 19th in second practice on Friday.

The Indian rookie driver, racing for Jordan Grand Prix, stopped the clock at 1 minute, 17.506 seconds and left behind teammates Tiago Monteiro of Portugal and Nicolas Keisa who brought up the rear finishing 22nd and 23rd.

MindComet :: Blog In Space

MindComet :: Blog In Space is quite an interesting website. They claim they will broadcast your blog into space using satellites. I doubt if it really works , but I did put in my blog address. Just doing my small part in inviting an intergalactic invasion !!

OMG!

Looking at the comments from my previous post, its quite obvious that nobody got to the disclaimer part of it. "Ramblings of a tired mind" are never to be taken so seriously! Maybe I missed out on smiley somewhere..But I still belive in the essence of the post. Neither a temple nor a mosque should exist on that peice of land, can't it be put for some other good(ok..a nuclear test site is not good, just in case anybody is unclear about my interpretation of the word "good") use. Wouldn't that be a fair solution?

@#$%&*

I'm sick and tired of hearing about the temple/mosque at Ayodhya. Just when you think everything is ok and everybody has forgotten about it, it has to pop its ugly head again. Its quite sad that a small peice of land has caused so much death
and suffering. Well atleast this time, thanks to the CRPF, only the terrorists were killed. But you really have to hand it to the terrorists, not only did they fail in their mission,but they also managed to rekindle the BJP's temple cause which seemed to be dying. Surely the dumbest bunch of terrorists I've seen.

And if the BJP is so disgusted and angered by the terrorist act, they should be protesting in POK and not in their street corners. I don't think they give a damn if the temple is built there or not as long as they can get publicity which ofcourse translates to votes.

Methinks the best way to get rid of this whole problem is to convert the site into a bombing range for the airforce, so that they can bomb the shit out of that place..or better still, just test our next nuke there, so that that no soul in his right mind would ever step on that site again. Well, thats just my opinion...also proof that I can never be trusted with any kind of power or responsiblity :p

Btw, all the opinions expressed in this post are ramblings of a tired mind. I think I need a long weekend just to get over the tiredness after a trip during the weekend. Again proof , that I'm also lazy , but who cares!

PEACE!

Google Earth Download

Google Earth can also be downloaded from here. What you have to watch out for though, is that sometimes google earth doesn't work when you start it up. It says it can't connect to the google earth servers. Be patient and try after a while and it usually works. Sorry for the delay, but am on the road in Indiana ( Finally, a long weekend plan did work out...:-) ).

Google Earth is amazing

If you thought Google Maps were the best, you are definitely wrong. Check this out Google Earth. It actually gives you a 3D picture of major cities in the U.S. The camera angles are amazing, you can literally walk between the buildings. They do have information on India, but the resolution isn't that good. This is still the Beta version I guess. I've posted a few screenshots below...Enjoy!!!
