One of my favorite cartoon series as a child was the combination of Duck Tales & Tales Spin which use to air on Star in the morning as well as evening. This is the sound track of the Hindi version of Duck Tales. As they say old is gold...
Ps: anybody has audio or video of Tales Spin, please let me know.

It
was Professor Smith's first day at St.
Johns medical college as a faculty.
Known for his teaching excellence, he made his entry into a classroom of 1st
year medical students, where he received a warm welcome from the students,
followed by their intro.
To start with, he planned to put forth a question to the class.
He said, "Well students, before we start off with today's lecture, let me
ask you a simple question on human anatomy".
He gazed across the classroom, spotted a female student Suzie, and said, "Tell
me Suzie, which part of the human body grows 10 times its original size when
excited?"
Hearing this question, Suzie's face grew pale in embarrassment, she replied: "You
should be ashamed to ask such a question to a female. I am sorry, but I can't
answer your, this question."
Thwarted by the girl's reply, professor smith rolled on his sight around the
classroom afresh, to find out if there was anyone else who could satisfy his
query.
This time he located a male student Henry, who had already raised his hand
in affirmation to answer the question, and allowed the lad to go ahead.
Henry answered: "Pupil of a human eye".
The professor applauded for the boy's accurate answer; then turned back to
Suzie and said: "Look, Suzie, I am sorry but, I must tell you a couple of
things:
(1) You lack knowledge
(2) You have a dirty mind and
(3) Your Expectations are too high !!!!!!! (10 times........ ...Huh... ...MY
GOD!!)

I have made this list based on recommendations from friends and fellow bloggers. Would try my best to read and review each one as the year goes on. Please comment your recommendations and suggestions.
It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?' 'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Is it going to be a very cold winter?' 'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'It's definitely going to be a very cold winter. "The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?' 'Absolutely', the man replied. 'It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever.' 'How can you be so sure?' the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, 'The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy.'
This is how stock markets work!!!

Good news for all Bug lovers in India.
"Beetle will come here. After strengthening our dealership network, it will come next year," Volkswagen India president and managing director Joerg Mueller.
I just love this car. Initially I was planning to make enough moneys to get myself an Audi, now if Beetle comes into the market I might change preferences.
But it will cost almost 20 times more than TATA Nano (Which is likely to cost around Rs. 1 lakh) thanks to the high duty (113%) on imported cars. The BUG will be available in 1.9 litre TDI diesel variant.It will have a conventional front engine, which
will hit a maximum speed of 180 km per hour.

Okhil Chandra Sen wrote this letter to the Sahibganj divisional railway office in 1909.
This
letter is on display at the Railway Museum in New Delhi. It was also
reproduced under the caption "Travelers' Tales" in the Far Eastern
Economic Review.
Any guesses why this letter was of historic value?
It apparently led to introduction of Toilets in Indian trains!!!!!!!!!
Through The Window...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbour hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap"
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbour would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"
The husband said, "I got up this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Look at this picture:
These 2 guys raised this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up, they took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary, a year later they went to see it and were told it would not remember them.
Check out this video of their reunion and watch the expressions on the lion's face.
