Body Sprays - The New Pheromones for women?????

There is this Dude. The dude sloshes half of this thing on his body doing some weird moves and voilà!!!!! The super models/hot girls mob him. Chase him. Hunt him down with some oooooohssss and aaaaahhhhssss. Some even eat him!!!! And that's the trend for the commercials on body sprays for men.

Seriously now is there anyone who buys these histrionics?? I have been watching TV for the last few days and ads about these body sprays hit the television like maggots on garbage. And the content is always the same. It's been overdone to such an extent that its time to put a sock in it. Come on guys give it a break. Are there even men who are dense enough to believe that body sprays act as pheromones to women? And you know what, if you gush that much of spray on your body you will find women running away from you as fast as they can.

May be I find these ads extremely annoying because they remind me of the first movie on my horrendous movies list called 'The Perfume'. The story is about a guy who is actually a dog but is trapped in a human body. This description does not do justification to the plot of the movie, but yeah the bottom line is that. Anyways getting back to our pheromone commercials, SOMEONE STOP THEM PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Death Note: My Take 2 - Character Review

*spoilers*

Ryuk : iApple iBored *****

'This is so boring'

'Humans are so interesting'

'Lightttttttt give me some applessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'There is nothing more I hate than explaining something twice'

'We eased each other's boredom for quite a long time'

'Good Bye Light'

Ryuk is the best shinigami in the series. He is amusing and he loves apples. He drops a Death Note into the human world whenever he is bored. He likes to taunt Light by delaying to mention some important detail about the Death Note and likes to be kept in suspense about Light's next moves. He makes it clear to Light that he is not on his side or on L's side. But he does occasional favors for his own amusement or to get some apples. He also gets annoyed when Light ignores him. I like the way his character was portrayed.

Light Yagami : iGod iJustice *****

'I will become the God of the New World'

'I am Justice!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'Matsuda you idiot!!!!!!!!!!'

'Where are you Misa......Ms.Takeda'

'eeeeeeeehahahahahahahhahahaaaaaaaaa haha hahaha haaaaaaaa'

Light Yagami, with his creepy little evil smile is a unique character for being both likeable and despicable. He is extremely intelligent, perfect, popular and athletic with an imperturbable composure. But he is also a conceited, arrogant, cold, apathetic and manipulative egomaniac. His ability to manipulate is scary. He never hesitates to kill anyone who threatens the idea of his ideal totalitarian world where he will be the supreme power. I have always rooted for Light even though I did not like the fact that he never hesitates to kill honest people who cross his path because I thought his 'New World' would be better. I wish he had managed somehow without killing all those innocent people. It is hard to decide whether he is good or evil. I think Death Note spoiled him and it's power got into his head.

I wonder what would have happened if Light did not react to L’s first move?? Even after that what if he had decided not kill Ray Penber? L would have been unable to narrow down his list of suspects. That would have left Light in peace with Ryuk, ball point pens, apples and without porn magazines and the evil potato chip eating ordeal. Even the great L cannot convict him without any solid evidence. If Light wasn't obsessed about beating L, things would have been different I guess. This reminds of one of the Death Note comics by SilentReaper from Deviantart. And man seriously who needs reputation when you are God??

I would have loved to see Light having a serious romantic interest. It would be definitely interesting to see how he would woo his girl.Light may not be an angel of mercy, but at the end you would feel sorry for him. If I had a Death Note and if Light existed, I would have given it to Light. I do not deny that he is evil, but still I support his views.

L : iJustice iEatSweet iCatchKira *****

‘I am justice’

‘Because I am also childish and I hate loosing too’

‘Light I am L’

‘Is she always like this’

‘Matsuda is acting stupid again’

‘You are the only friend I have ever had’

‘Watari’

L is the world’s top rated detective and also the top rated character in the anime. He is the most intriguing and idiosyncratic character in the series. His quirks include crouching on a chair instead of sitting, a diet filled with desserts. And holding anything delicately (His way of holding the mobile is epic). He has been portrayed in such way that despite all his eccentricities he was still a visual treat to watch. You can’t help but like this guy.

His appearance in contrast to Light, is disheveled and slouchy masking his extraordinary deduction skills. He is also a great tennis player. His eyes are emotionless and his voice is always in the same low monotone. He always has this intense and eerie gaze. I guess he never lost his composure throughout his existence in the series except just before he died. He raised his voice saying ‘Quick find the Shinigami…..’

Even though Light was hell bent on killing L, L might have started to respect and like Light towards the end. He looked like he half hoped that Light was not Kira. The writer of the series, Tsugumi Ohba had some nerve to kill such a popular character.

This bizarre brilliant earned more applause than Light did. It’s been said that after L’s death, the series ratings dropped. I would have liked to see L’s past. He was my favorite character on the series.

Misa Amane : iLoveLight iAnnoy **

‘Oh Light I love you’

‘Light Light Light’

‘I am Light’s girl friend’

‘Misa Misa Misa'

Misa’s character is annoying. I guess she was created just for the sake of a female lead character being on the show. Anyways, she is an airhead model who is infatuated with Light. Apart from the fact she was not a boring character, there is little to discuss about her other than what I mentioned above. This is again one of those SilentReaper comics I like about Misa.

Rem: Shinigami Rem developed feelings for Misa and ended up being a pain in the neck for Light. Rem was boring. Light tricked her into killing L for the sake of Misa and brought her death. Good Riddance I say. Rem was boring.

Watari: He assists L in his missions. I liked this character even though less has been shown about him. This good old gentleman established Wammy’s House, an orphanage for gifted children where L, Near, Mello and Matt were brought up.

Near and Mellow: They are fine characters, but they failed create the magic L did and thus left little impact. I couldn’t have cared less whether they lived or died in the series, but they are likeable.

Teru Mikami: He was fun to watch. He looked sharp and every bit like a criminal prosecutor. He is an ardent supporter of Kira. He refers to Light as 'God'. I liked his 'Delete Delete Delete' rant.

Touta Matsuda: A comic relief. Which he managed perfectly. A simple, typical young man and an average detective.

Ray Penber and Naomi Misora: Typical plain characters who justified their roles. They were pawns in our ego maniac's 'all-for-greater-good' machinations. Poor guys.

Hitoshi Demegawa: He is the delusional Kira's spokesperson and the director of Sakura TV. A selfish character designed as a publicity hound.

Soichiro Yagami: Typical dad and police officer. Kind of boring.

Sachiko Yagami: Light's mother and house wife unaware of her son's obsession.

Sayu Yagami: The naughty and cute sister. She goes into a state of shock after the kidnap.

Kiyomi Takada: Light's manipulative victim other than Misa. Unlike Misa, she is intelligent, calm and composed. But unfortunately she has fallen for Light which brought her misfortune. Her character is just plain old boring.

Kyosuke Higuchi: The dumb, greedy villian.

Shuichi Aizawa: The tough, sincere police officer. Has been portrayed as having-problems-with family types.

Kanzo Mogi: Silent but dedicated types. Addressed as 'Motchi' by Misa.

Hirokazu Ukita: Sincere brave guy. The one from the Kira investigation team who was killed by Misa.

The rest of the minor characters. Worth mentioning are: Aiber - a professional con man, Wedy - a professional burglar ( both hired by L), Sidoh – a shinigami who stalks Ryuk and whose death note made its way to Mellow, Matt – Mellow’s accomplice, Stephen Gevanni – the SPK investigator assigned to Mikami, Halle Lidner and Anthony Rester of the SPK team.

Death Note: My Take 1

Death Note is an amazing anime about a 17 year old student Light Yagami who is bored and disgusted with the crimes in the society. One day, Light encounters a book called Death Note and its owner Shinigami (God of Death) Ryuk. When Light knows that he could kill anyone by just writing their name in the Death Note while having their face in his mind, there is no stopping him. He decides to kill all the criminals and create a ‘New World’ free of crime where only honest people can live in peace. This earns him the title ‘Kira’ (Killer in English). It’s not long before the police realize that they are witnessing a mass murder. They call in ‘L’ a detective with extraordinary intellect.

From here it becomes a cat and mouse chase between Kira and L. The mental board game between these two becomes mind blowing. The constant battle of wit comes down to ‘Will he outthink my outthinking?’

What I really love about Death Note is its impeccable suspense. Just watch two episodes and then you will not stop till you see the last one. My heart skipped a beat in the last but one episode. It also raises some curious questions about ethics. If you had the power to kill people without getting caught who would you kill? Is it alright to kill criminals? Do they deserve it? Is that considered as murder?

Even though Death Note is an astounding series in the recent anime history, it is not without plot holes. For instance there is this scene where Sidoh takes the Death Note from Mellow. Mellow says that the notebook flew from his hands. It has been said that anyone who touches the Death Note can see its original owner, the Shinigami. How come Mellow couldn’t see Sidoh even though he had touched the book? Is it like they can only see the God of Death after the original human owner has touched it?? Or did I miss any point? Ok I will watch it again just to make sure :D. And Teru Mikami suicides with a pen? And the blood flows out like a fountain? Oh give me a break.

Another flaw is the character development. We really don’t get to know the characters much. For me everyone seemed kind of shallow with no deep emotions. If you consider Light, he never regrets while killing and neither he has any deep emotions towards any other character nor he has any romantic interest. All he cares about is his ‘I-am-justice-I-am-God-I-create-New-World’ perception. That was kind of dreary. Still I love him :D

Keeping the critic part of me aside, I think Death Note is awesome. Simply fascinating. Totally Love Love Love :D :D :D. I could watch it everyday. Hell I am watching it everyday.

Random

It's Night 12:51AM IST.

I can't sleep.

And I'm bored. Bored as in Bowred spelled B-O-R-E-D.

Right now I am watching a pathetic movie starring Rambha and J.D. Chakravarthy. I would give it a negative rating.

Now let us get to business.

Sharks can detect one part per million of blood in sea water. wow!

Sharks never run out of teeth. If one is lost, another spins forward from the rows and rows of backup teeth. I think they have 5 rows of teeth. A shark may grow and use over 20,000 teeth in its lifetime! wow!!

Sharks are immune to most of the diseases other fish get. I guess they have the strongest immune system. wow!!!

When you are attacked by a shark, try to attack it's eyes. That's the best thing you can do to survive a shark attack.

The ancestor of the great white shark is Carcharodon Megalodon. Take a look at this eleven ton sixty feet cutie pie. It's a pity that this is an extinct species.

I would love to have Megalodon in a biiiig biiiiiig biiiiig aquarium as my birthday gift. :P :P :P Now don't try to reason me. I just want it and that's it.

Coral reefs occupy less than 1% of the ocean floor but they support a quarter of the marine species. They are simply beautiful.

Hippopotamus has a 6 cm thick skin.

This is a gnu.

This is an Impala.

I always get confused between these two. Huh.

The Australian Cuttlefish stays alone except when it is time for mating.

Most of the Jelly fish do not have any brain. Man aren’t they stupid??? Sorry that’s my lame attempt at humour. They also do not have any blood. But they have eyes. They catch their pray with their tentacles and then push them towards their stomach that is the center part of that dome like thing.

Black widow spider’s bite is 50 times dangerous than a Rattle snakes’s bite.

Lol!!!

ICU:

In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.

The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 a.m., all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.

Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

The Chinese Man:

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 Taiwan 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 to a 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 officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese man for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

One of the bank’s employees 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 worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. 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?”

Telemarketers:

- If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died. When they try to get to the sell, just keep talking about your problems.

- If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.

- This works great if you are male: Telemarketing: "Hi, my name is Judy and I'm with XYZ Company...Wait for a second and with a real husky voice ask, "What are you wearing?"

- Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.

- Say "No," over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to peak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.

- If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends...Would you be my friend?"

Tranquilizers:

The mother of a problem child was advised by a psychiatrist, "You are far too upset and worried about your son. I suggest you take tranquilizers regularly."

On her next visit the psychiatrist asked, "Have the tranquilizers calmed you down?"

"Yes," the boy's mother answered.

"And how is your son now?" the psychiatrist asked.

"Who cares?"

Vote of Thanks:

I want to thank all my friends and other unknown people who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2003, 2004 & 2005 and 2006.

Because of your kindness:

I stopped drinking Coca-Cola after I found out that it's good only for removing toilet stains.

I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer.

I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda , Singapore and Tokyo.

I also stopped drinking water outside for fear that I will get sick from the rat shit and urine.

When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she is, for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me, then take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)

My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid vacation to Disneyland.

Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Dalai Lama, Ganesh Vandana, Balaji pics etc..

Now most of those "Wishes" are already married (to someone else)!

If Yahoo deletes my account, it doesn't matter BUT PLEASE DON'T SEND me "Yahoo is deleting accounts: Due to sudden rush..." Otherwise I'll delete my E-Mail account!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you do not send this e-mail to at least 913760 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will shit on your head today at 6:30 p.m.

God!!!

Two little boys, aged 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,

"Do you know where God is, son?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone,

"Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,

"Where is God?!"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,

"What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time."

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it !"

Watt Knot

Mr.Watt rang the phone at the residence of Mr.Knott.

"Who's calling?" asked Knott.
"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
"No, this is Knott."
"Please tell me your name."
"Will Knott."

YOU LEFT THE TALKERS AT A POINT WHERE THEY WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED.
READ THE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED...

"Why not?"
"Huh? What do you mean why not?"
"Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?"
"But I told you my name!"
"Didn't you say you will not?"
"Not not, knott, Will Knott!"
"That's what I mean."
"So you know my name."
"Of course not!"
"Good. So now, what is yours?"
"Watt. Yours?"
"Your name!"
"Watt's my name."
"How the hell do I know? I am asking you!"
"Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet."
"You have been patient, what about me?"
"I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet."
"Of course not!"
"See, you even know my name!"
"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?"
"Because I don't."
[Pause]

"What is your name?"
"See, you know my name!"
"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep asking What is your name?"
"To find out your name!"
"But you already know it!"
"What?"
"See, but you know mine!"
"Of course not!"
"Exactly!"

NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS THEIR
NAME,BUT THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.

"Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be
your answer?"
"Watt's my name."
"No, no, give me only one word."
"Watt"
"Your name!"
"Right!"
[Pause before it hits him]
"Oh, Wright!"
"Yeah!"
"So why didn't you say it before?"
"I told you so many times!"
"You never said Wright before"
"Of course I did."
"Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?"
"I do not."
"Well, there you go, now we know each other's name."
"I do not!"
"Good!"
