LAST WILL FROM HUSBAND TO WIFE

Last night my wife and I were sitting in the living room, talking about life... In-between, we talked about the idea of living or dying.

I said to her:

'Dear, never let me live in a vegetative state, totally dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die'.

Then my wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration towards me... and proceeded to disconnect the TV, the DSTV, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the fridge and threw away all my beer!!

I ALMOST DIED!!

Obama and Wife ( Probably fiction )

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn't too luxurious.

When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President's secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private.

They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked  Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you.

She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her.

President Obama then said, "so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant", to which Michelle responded, ...........

no, if I had married him, he would now be the President."

Important Information for Vegetarians

An article on the side effects on eating an unbalanced vegetarian diet appeared recently on National Geographic. The article recognizes that vegetarianism is a very healthy diet choice but it emphasizes that vegetarians must "pay attention to nutritional requirements and follow a balanced eating plan." It goes on to reveal a food pyramid created by the Mayo Clinic and explains nutritional deficiencies that vegetarians should be aware of such as B-12 deficiency, iron deficiency etc. and how to avoid them.

Monk Against Mining the Ganga

The simple activity of mining for sand and stones from riverbeds can have far reaching and disastrous effects for communities living around a river. I always wondered how this happens and this article on National Geographic that highlights a swami's prolonged struggle against mining Ganga's riverbed explains it. Basically when the river is deepened from the mining the depth of the water table under ground also deepens making water less accessible to plants and bore wells. It can cause water shortage and crop failure, even deserts in the surrounding area of the river.
