A friend in need is a pest indeed.
Marriage is one of the chief causes of divorce.
Work is fine if it doesn't take too much of your time.
When everything comes in your way you're in the wrong lane.

Do Men Remember Anniversaries?
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'

Top Three-Wheeled Concept Vehicles
Here is a look at some of the most interesting three-wheeled vehicles out there. Some of these are on the verge of going truly mainstream, while others are just pure imaginative brilliance. While their commercial prospects are somewhat limited right now, lets hope that they mature over time to some day provide us with one more truly viable mode of transportation.
Hodge Hawk Three-Wheeler Concept

Unusual Ferrarri Car-Motorcycle
Did you see the new transformers? Well, this design is not transformation, but still it is a remarkable unification. It’s a motorcycle with a car attached to it. So, if you have a girlfriend that doesn’t enjoy riding a motorcycle, which I really doubt, you can still ride your favorite motorcycle and let her ride in a car. This might settle all the car drivers and bikers arguments.

2011 Automotive Oddities
Strange experiments are happening in the auto industry. Companies are cross-pollinating different types of vehicles to create new breeds, and the results are sometimes perplexing. For example, Nissan has turned its pudgy Murano into a convertible. Meanwhile, Range Rover is trying to show some concern for the environment by offering its smallest, most car-like SUV ever, the Evoque. Both the Murano and Evoque are considered “crossovers,” which by definition are a mixed bag to begin with: They blend attributes of SUVs, wagons and minivans. So it seems these new variations represent the next level of crossing over.
The line between different kinds of cars is also getting hazier, driven in part by a focus on making smaller cars more appealing. Both Hyundai and Scion are launching compact cars that stray from the norm in terms of seating and overall packaging. The intention is to make them more practical and thus appeal to a wider audience.
Of the new vehicles coming in 2011, here are five that don’t quite fit typical moulds.

How To Disable ‘Autorun.inf’ To Prevent Virus Attack Computer
Recently there are many cases reported that ‘autorun’ virus spread through so many computer due to heavy usage of flash memory or pendrive, so we need a preventive action to stop this virus from spreading to our computer.
When we insert a pendrive to computer, Windows will scan and check if there is any 'autorun.inf' file and then write it into 'mountpoint2' registry. 'Mountpoint2′ will amend the act to open a disk or pop up menu. Eventhough you might have already set up ‘disable auto play’, using right click, or use ‘explore’ to open the disk, the result will still run ‘virus.exe’.

Terrifying and Mysterious Creatures
Here are some of the most terrifying and bizarre creatures to ever, allegedly, walk the Earth. These creatures defy logic, inspire the imagination and generate fear. They are the subject of numerous movies, documentaries, books and even songs. They have become ingrained in our culture. Do these creatures really exist? Did they ever exist? Or are these merely hoaxes, or the result of over active imaginations? No matter what you believe, I think it is safe to say that the members of this list are the stuff of nightmares, and if encountered, even the most hardened individual would tremble with fear. So let’s open our minds to the incredible, and embark on a brief journey through a world teeming with cryptids.

Weird-Looking Sea Creatures
Here are some weird-looking sea creatures, most of which I had not seen myself. Can anyone help to identify them? At least I know the last two pictures are that of a hammerhead shark...

Weird Allied Weapons Of World War II
Between 1939 and 1945, one of the worst wars in history was fought out between two opposing forces that were so large and wide-spread, it became known as the Second World War. In a bid to stop Adolf Hitler and his allies, who were known as the ‘Axis’ powers, the ‘Allies’ worked on many weapons projects to try to develop new ways to help them win the war. While many were successful and eventually helped the allied cause, other ideas that went into development ended up being shelved, often because they were just a little too weird to work!

Volkswagen 2028
For years, inquiring minds have been imagining what the world will look like in the not-too-distant future, and, as you're no doubt aware, our brains have a knack for envisioning more than our feeble hands can produce. That appears to be the case with Volkswagen and its look 20 years into the future of the automobile. So, with that in mind, what does VeeDub see as the future of transportation in twenty years? To begin with, customizable cars which can be summoned up in just minutes.
Do You Really Work?
After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment, no commendation. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager. His manager looked at him, smiled and asked him to sit down saying:
"My friend you have not worked here for even a single day." The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.

Thoughtful Message For All
Interesting and very thoughtful message for all to read.
This is special
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.
He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. "The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."
