TWINS !! with more than a TWIN similarity .....

Well guys ... back after a rather long hiatus,now this post is something very interesting and believe me this post is seriously not Mr.M.G.R's any Old film scripts(eventhough it might seem to be one ... especially the first stanza ... :-) ... )This actually is an Excerpt from a Ohio-U.S. newspaper .... This undoubtebly must be one of the most coincidental coincidences of all time ..... here we go .....



(Excerpt from a U.S. newspaper):
Jim Lewis and Jim Springer first met February 9, 1979 after 39 years of being separated. They were the rarest of twins, and most prized by researchers: identical twins who had been separated at birth, were raised in different families, and had grown to adulthood completely unaware of each other's existence. When Jim Lewis finally found his twin brother, Jim Springer, after years of searching through court records, he knew their unwed mother had put them up for adoption shortly after giving birth.

When the two first met, Lewis described it as "like looking into a mirror." For starters, both had the same first name. They were physically identical. But when they got talking, the similarities were astounding. Both had childhood dogs named Toy. Both had been nail biters and fretful sleepers. Both had migraines. Both had married first wives names Linda, second wives named Betty. Lewis named his first son James Allen, Springer named his James Alan. For years, they both had taken holidays on the same Florida beach. They both drank Miller Lite, smoked Salem cigarettes, loved stock car racing, disliked baseball, left regular love notes to their wives, made doll furniture in their basements, and had added circular white benches around the trees in their backyards. Their IQs, habits, facial expressions, brain waves, heartbeats, and handwriting were nearly identical. The Jim twins lived apart but died on the same day, from the same illness.

ACTUALLY I came upon this ARTICLE COINCIDENTALLY .... the only thing which is not coincidental is me posting this in my BLOG ....

Time to squ(s)eeze your brains !!!!

Hey guys bored of hearing normal things ... then just have a look at these abnormal facts (now when i say 'FACTS' i mean it) ....

1.Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.(Now u know when you see someone banging their head , its not out of tension but they are on a crash course to lose some calories .... :-) .... maybe you guys should try this more often).

2.Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.(now there is a great doubt itching me .... how many years will a man who gives equal priority to both his hands will live ?)

3.The flea can jump 350 times its body length.[It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.]... (Now it has a great chance of winning gold in olympics .... :-)....)

4.The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.(Next time when someone says flex your muscles ... just try it with your tongue ...eh?)

5.If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.(now you know why teachers often like coffee ... dont you? ... ;-) ...)

Have you ever wondered to have a mobile phone completely wrapped inside your palm .... if you hav'nt then take a look at this mobile ..... it is the smallest mobile in the world ........

We have seen the race for the slimmest phone with entrants from Motorola, Samsung and NEC though the war still wages on,
here we have the world's smallest phone and surely it is going to be there for quite sometime.Like a bright cherry on top of this big news day comes this tiny candy colored mobile phone - possibly the world's smallest cellphone.And although the phone looks more like a doll accessory then anything else it still manages to pack a punch.
The Xun Chi 138 is possibly the smallest handphone in the world weighing only 55 grams and 2.64 inches long.It is said to come built-in with a 1.3 megapixel camera,
a touch screen with handwriting recognition,an MP3 player and support for GPRS connections (most likely a built in web browser too).It doesn't come with a keypad,
Bluetooth, or any expansion slot.The keypad has been ditched in favor of a 260k color touchscreen LCD.

Dont expect the phone to hit the West anytime soon as the Xun Chi 138 supports only Chinese character recognition for now.But expect it to debut in Asia ......

Meeting of the greats ........


I hope u guys dont need an introduction of that kid with his dad .... n .... by the way its Rajinikanth on the right .... lol ....

NANO is it?




Atlast the much touted and hyped people's car has been released ........ Its the TATA NANO .... now you get an idea why they call it nano ..... dont you ..... :-) ..... they say that 5 can sit in it ..... (PS:It is possible only if they are like LAUREL of the LAUREL AND HARDY fame ..... if they are like HARDY then only GOD knows their plight)Lets hope that this brings a revolution in the Indian automible industry ..... Alls well but will it end well ? ..........

World Has Certainly Developed


Can anybody guess wat on earth is this huge mechanical stuff ........ (Geeks please ignore it .... cos u might already be knowing about it) It was one of the computers to hit the market The Great Huge IBM 650 .......

FEATURES :

The first IBM 650 was available in December of 1954

In 1956 the rental price for the CPU and power supply was $3,200/month.

The CPU was 5ft by 3ft by 6ft and weighed 1966 lbs

The power unit was 5ft by 3ft by 6ft and weighed 2972 lbs.

The system required 22 KVA

A card reader/punch was the I/O unit weighing 1295 lbs and rented for $550/month.

The probable operating ratio was 80% -- not guaranteed.

The estimated cost of spare parts was $4000/year.

The 650 could add or subtract in 1.63 mill-seconds, multiply in 12.96 ms, and divide in 16.90 ms. Speed per Gill calculation is 27.6 ms

The memory on most systems was magnetic drum with 2000 word {10 digits and sign} capacity and random access time of 2.496 ms.
For an additional $1,500/month you could add magnetic core memory of 60 words with access time of .096ms.

One neat feature about a IBM 650 program was the use of three addresses. {the 3rd for the address of the next instruction} This means you could drop your deck and as long as you got the first card in front your program would load. While at Univ of Kansas this writer figured out a way to remove one instruction from the load card. -- can't recall what it was now.

While the IBM 650 was not a super-hot machine, it did have one feature that made it sell -- Namely lots of blinking lights. With that anyone could tell something was going on. Some authors attribute the success of IBM to these blinking lights and the fact the computer used the same cards as the other unit record equipment of IBM. {Actually the output of your 650 program was punched on cards and you would take the deck over to a 402 Accounting Machine to get a print out.}
