Bear Surprise

LA Galaxy vs Oceania All Stars (Mt Smart Stadium) Auckland)

Alan Gordon has just scored a second goal, from a great Beckham pass, for LA Galaxy against Oceania All-Stars and the match is only 13 minutes old!

This game looks like it will become a one way scorefest.

Update: McDonald scores on the half hour mark from a Beckham corner kick.

No change in the score for the rest of the game. However, Edgar Davids injected a lot of his flair into the second half.

Full Time:
LA Galaxy 3 Oceania All Stars 0

Confused in Georgia

I could not stop laughing when I read this! BTW, if you have trouble reading the answer on your screen, I've retyped it here:

"You are in the state of Georgia. The nation of Georgia is on the other side of the world."

New Zealand Rugby League World Champions!

Wow, this is unbelievable. Most people would have predicted the Australian juggernaut to win the final. But after trailing a narrow 12-16 at half time, the Kiwis absolutely dominated in the second half to make rugby league history and overhaul the Aussies to win 34-20!

Ubuntu 8.10 Resolved my Wireless Issue!

I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 on my Presario V3000 Notebook.

After all the grief I endured with the wireless connection using 8.04, I now have all of my Ubuntu wireless hassles behind me. The wireless connection on 8.10 works fine! All I had to do was search for the hardware driver and implement my network settings.

If you own a Presario in the range of the V2000-6000 series notebooks that use the Broadcom B43 network driver, then this info could prove very helpful to you.

Joke: Polish Divorce

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.
Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well
until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he
could arrange a divorce for him.

The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the
circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

L: Have you any grounds?
P: Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.

L: No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
P: It made of concrete.

L: I don't think you understand. Do either of you have a real grudge?

P: No, we have carport, and not need one.

L: I mean. What are your relations like?
P: All my relations still in Poland .

L: Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
P: We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.

L: Does your wife beat you up?
P: No, I always up before her.

L: Is your wife a nagger?
P: No, she white.

L: Why do you want this divorce?
P: She going to kill me.

L: What makes you think that?
P: I got proof.

L: What kind of proof?
P: She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on
shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say: "Polish Remover"

Indian Restaurant in Paris 2005

Whilst having an evening meal in an Indian Restaurant in Paris, I was quite aware that French was probably the second language of the Indian staff. This left me thinking that English was probably a distant third language ... if I was lucky! The menu had all the items listed in the mandatory French, but also included a faint grey English translation in tiny lettering. Therefore, I was able to avoid escargot and grenoiulle(?).
Because of the extremely limited vocabulary of the restauranteurs, I was on the receiving end of statements such as, "You eat. You sit." I knew they weren't being rude as they were obviously trying to communicate with the ignorant foreigner (me!).

This leads me to a question:

If cows are considered sacred animals in India, why can we buy Beef Vindaloo at an Indian restaurant?
