are "Die Suppe ist zu heiss." (The soup is too hot.).
Little Einstein hadn't spoken a word before that, and when his parents asked him why, little Einstein answered, ""Bisher war Alles in Ordnung." (Until now everything was in order.)"
I would have more faith in this legend if this had been Dirac (of course, he wasn't German), but still, this goes to show what a legend Einstein is.

Feet Speak of Love
Note to the romantically inclined:
"Here's the key to look out for: if a woman moves her feet away from her body while laughing and takes a more open-legged stance, it means she is attracted to you. On the flip side, if the woman has her feet tucked or crossed under her body, then you?re going to go down in flames."

A Change
If you look over at the blog list you will find a blog called We Belong. Yes, it is our sister-blog hosted by Wordpress.
Balajhi here told me last month that I've become a mere news aggregator. I think he is right, and I am trying to do this better.
What will happen is that, all the links kind of posts that I make here is outsourced to that sister-blog. It is a twitter-like microblog, and all the posts go over to Twitter too. You will see those tweets right here in the sidebar.
Hope this works well for some time to come.
What is missing here are the links I like and want to share on mind, brain and consciousness, and also, religion and spirituality.
They are right now to be found in the Delicious account 1ness, a link roll of which is there in the sidebar, right underneath Twitter.
What this means is that I intend to post some other stuff here, let us see if it is possible.
As time goes, I find that I can't do much more than clicking and sharing things.
Hope something different comes out.

Odd Balls
Mark Davies added to Test squad | Cricket News | South Africa v England 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com:
"Davies, 29, has been based in South Africa with the England Performance Squad, and starred last week with four wickets on the opening day of their nine-wicket victory against Gauteng in Pretoria, before sitting out the remainder of Gauteng's innings when his bowling boots were cleared away by groundstaff during a shower."

I've got some time to kill- so sorry, I think I should present you with a set of youtube videos I liked. Shall it be five or ten?
Hmmm... It is easy.
Ahhh...

Bragging Rights
Breitbart.com reports- Opening of world's tallest tower marks end of Dubai era:
We wrote up a post on 7.10.2008 that anticipated exactly such an eventuality: Due for a collapse?"Next month's opening of the Burj Dubai tower, the world's tallest building, will bring Dubai's era of exuberant expansion to a juddering halt as hundreds of other building projects are already mothballed..."
