  • A very short definition of the whole world

    A joke that makes you think. I got from the blog funhike.blogspot.com

    Worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:
    “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

    The survey was a huge failure, In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant, In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant, In Europe they didn’t know what ‘shortage’ meant, In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant, In the Middle East they didn’t know what ‘solution’ meant, In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant, And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant!

  • Create a shortcut to Shutdown, Restart, Hibernate, Standby, and even logoff on your desktop.

    This can be very very useful when you really get tired by the number of clicks you need to make to shutdown, or pressing the shift key to enter hibernation. Just make some shortcuts to these tasks on your desktop, and you can double click to access them.

    Steps:
    1: Right click on your desktop (or inside any folder where you want this to be) and select New –> Shortcut.

    2: The new shortcut wizard appears. Add the following link in the quotes without the quotes, in the box according to what you need.
    For Shutdown : “shutdown.exe -s -t 0” (The 0 means the computer will wait zero seconds before shutting down)
    For Restart : “shutdown.exe -r -t 0”
    For Logoff : “shutdown.exe -l -t 0”
    For Standby : “rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState Standby” (This one is not working when hibernation is enabled)
    For Hibernation : “rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState Hibernate”
    (You are making a shortcut to the windows file that does these. But when you make normal shortcuts it doesn’t work.)

    3: Give names that you like

    4: Done. If you want to change the icon, right click, select Properties –>Shortcut –> Change Icon

  • Women’s smartness

    I got this from India community’s official joke thread submitted by a person called Harshit
    -Akshay S Dinesh

    A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball
    into the woods.
    She went into the woods to look for it and found a
    frog in a trap.
    The frog said to her, “If you release me from this
    trap, I will grant
    you three wishes.” The woman freed the frog, and the
    frog said, “Thank
    you, but I failed to mention that there was a
    condition to your wishes.
    Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times
    ten!” The woman
    said, “That’s okay.” For her first wish, she wanted to
    be the most
    beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her,
    “You do realise that
    this
    wish will also make your husband the most handsome man
    in the world, an
    Adonis whom women will flock to”. The woman replied,
    “That’s okay,
    because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will
    have eyes only
    for
    me.” So, KAZAM-she’s the most beautiful Woman in the
    world! For her
    second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the
    world.
    The frog said, “That will make your husband the
    richest man in the
    world.
    And he will be ten times richer than you. ” The woman
    said, “That’s
    okay, because what’s mine is his and what’s his is
    mine.”
    So, KAZAM-she’s the richest woman in the world! The
    frog then inquired
    about her third wish, and she answered, “I’d like a
    mild heart attack.”

    Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don’t mess with
    them.
    Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke
    for you. Stop
    here and continue feeling good.
    Male readers: Please scroll down.

    The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!
    Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they’re really smart.
    Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show.
