Harrow football OR Mud Football is a code of football played between two teams of eleven players, each attempting to win by scoring more goals than their opponent. Harrow Football is played predominantly with the feet, but players may use any part of their body including, in certain circumstances, their hands and arms to propel the ball. The leather ball is shaped like a giant pork pie, about 18 inches in diameter and 12 inches (300 mm) deep. It tends to soak up mud and water and become extremely heavy.

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!'

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman..

He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate
Awakened the kids
Set out their school clothes
Fed them breakfast
Packed their lunches
Drove them to school
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank to make a deposit
Went grocery shopping
Then drove home to put away the groceries
Paid the bills and balanced the check book
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog

Then, it was already 1:00 P.M.

And he hurried to make the beds
Do the laundry, vacuum
Dust and sweep and mop the kitchen floor
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper,

He cleaned the kitchen
Ran the dishwasher
Folded laundry
Bathed the kids
And put them to bed

At 09 P.M .

He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -

'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!'

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:

'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night.'

Friends! Remember this old educational documentary on Doordarshan during 80's and 90's?

This must be one of the nostalgic memories of most of our childhood. Check out this amazing video.

The 9 year old mountain boy Dzhambik Khatokhov Weights whopping 150 kgs. His Buggy had unbreakable wheels and the family's chairs had to be specially made to prevent him crushing them to matchwood. Dzhambik Khatokhov is the world’s fattest child and he has adult size-eight shoes. His weight is more than to four children of his classmates. Dzhambik is known as Jambik and his ambition of winning gold for Russia at the Olympics. But British doctor says when he was met; his health is in grave danger.

His mum also explained that “He was so strong that at one and a half years old he was lifting things like heavy stones and buckets of water." In Just 3 years he was lifting weights as heavy as 24 kgs. At four he had ballooned to 45 kgs, even though he was just 3ft 11in, and at six he was 74 kgs.’

“Jambik’s a Good Boy and never uses his size to bully younger kids." 48 year old Khasan Teusvazhukov who is his wrestling coach, struggles to find fighting partners for Jambik, as other boys his age weigh as little as five stone. He practices his wrestling five days in week and also goes swimming and said "I want to be a sportsman when I grow up. Or better, an Olympic champion. I like to be strong."

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry.

He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, purchases new make-up and buys several new outfits, and dresses up very nicely for the man.

She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man is impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts.

She gets him a new set of STRONG golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes.As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market.

She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account.

She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money.

Guess which lady he chose to marry?

Think like a man . . .

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2 . Over-eating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late

2 . Not urinating in morning
One should urinate as soon as he gets up in the morning. Urine is acidic in nature and holding urine for long affects the liver and kidneys very much.

3. Consuming too much medication
Popping in too many pills seriously affect your liver and create problems in digestion, dysfunction of liver and other side-effects.

If you’ve ever felt like you go a little cross-eyed after taking a peek at an optical illusion, then you know they can be a pretty intense phenomenon. What your eyes perceive when looking at one of these images is actually a visual illusion; you see the image as something different than what it is because the different cells and receptors in your eyes distinguish images and colors at dissimilar speeds. The eye can only receive a limited amount of visual stimuli, but as your brain constantly processes the visual information, it gives you the illusion of continuous sight. Whether it’s an optical, physiological or cognitive illusion, the design plays a trick on your eyes (and mind). Check out some of the interesting illusions below—but beware, you may not be able to absorb them all in one sitting.

Pulsing Vortex


If you stare at this one long enough you’ll notice a fast and pulsing multicolored vortex. Photo from Flickr

Hypnosis

Starbursts

As the People’s Republic of China commemorates its 60th anniversary, it seemingly has much to celebrate. China is the world’s most populous and industrious nation, is the world’s third largest economy and trading nation, has become a global innovator in science and technology, and is building a world-class university system. It has an increasingly modern military and commands diplomatic respect. It is at peace with its neighbors and all major powers. Its hybrid model of quasi-state capitalism and semidemocratic authoritarianism - sometimes dubbed the "Beijing Consensus" - has attracted attention across the developing world.

After a solid start by Bangalore's opener Manish Pandey, Bangalore could only score 127 runs in their 20 overs. Andrew McDonald picked crucial wickets at regular intervals and restricted Bangalore to 127. Later Brad Hodge and David Hussey batted responsibly and reached the target in just 15.5 overs. Andrew McDonald was awarded Man of the Match for his 4 wickets.

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said, "But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets."

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?"

With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"
