Our PM relies on gossips?

I watched the midnight news on TV3 and Najib was shown telling his audience in Hulu Selangor that his new found sources of news, Zahrain and Zul, had told him all about Anwar, including what's in his underwear... He appeared to have renewed confidence now with these revelations.

Now we know, our PM can be so gullible (relying on information supplied by two new recruits from the other side) and so frivolous. This begs the question: Why are taxpayers paying for the First Class (presumably) travelling expenses of two persons rewarded for jumping ship, with the main purpose of telling him stories about PM's number one opponent? I thought the Special Branch in the PDRM is already doing that.

It is frightening to know how easily our PM can be influenced and knowing the immense powers in his hands, what he could have done to innocent people.

By-election never fails to attract promises...

but will they be honoured?

I hope I can remember correctly... there was an MCA leader who promised to deliver 6,000 votes to BN, while a MIC leader promised 10,000! Since the time when leaders of political parties, associations and so on, promised 100% support for a national leader, I had given up on such rhetorics. Unless and until there was a referendum, how could anyone be sure of 100% support from members?

Voting is supposed to be in secrecy and there is no way one can instruct another on who to vote for, and making sure that he or she did as instructed. This anomaly gives rise to the calls by opposition leaders to accept whatever is promised by BN but vote the opposition! If more people do it then there might be less of such illegal and unwarranted offers at every election.

BN candidate from MIC, Kalamanathan promises to deliver the Parliamentary seat to the PM for having chosen him. On the other hand, Dr. Halili Rahmat quits PKR (ie. did not keep his promise to listen to party leaders as would have been expected of him) to join Umno, and he stated that it was not because he was not chosen (you believe that?). Why now?

MIC's troubled Maika shareholders have been told their shares will be worth at least their nominal value after a very long period. I have my doubts because the timing sucks, and again why now?

Now Ezam promises to reveal another of Anwar's secret deals. This begs the same question: why now? He has been keeping the secret (if any) for far too long. If this is not an election gimmick, I do not know what is.

Why English is a difficult language to master...

The following is worth repeating now and again:

An amusing take on the English Language.

ONLY THE ENGLISH COULD HAVE INVENTED THIS LANGUAGE

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,

Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;

neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England ..

We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.

We have noses that run and feet that smell.

We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.

And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposite.

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

AND IF PEOPLE FROM POLAND ARE CALLED POLES THEN PEOPLE FROM HOLLAND SHOULD BE HOLES AND THE GERMANS, GERMS!

Fart facts

Just the other day, my wife's nephew commented that the word 'fart' never fails to deliver, in terms of inducing laughter. Some even think it is funny to go near someone and fart as loud as possible, among family and close relatives.

Here are some facts (some hard to believe):
