Really weird

Thank you for Fucking, Austria

Well, before u readers frown at the inappropriate topic which u may think u stumbled upon and may be tempted to close this post..... Just hold a sec!!
Fucking is a small settlement (population c. 150) in Austria. The village is known to have existed as "Fucking" since at least 1070. The settlement's most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it beside which English-speaking tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. The sign is the most commonly stolen street sign in Austria. Significant amounts of public funds are spent on replacing the stolen signs !!!


Erving's Location. Population: 1

Erving's Location is situated in Coos County, New Hampshire. In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited). According to the 2000 census, one person lived in Erving's Location. Some have speculated that the census statistics for Erving's Location could have been a computer glitch.

Welcome to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch


Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a village on the island of Anglesey in Wales. It is best known for having the longest officially recognised place name in the United Kingdom, and one of the longest in the world.

The village's long name was contrived in the 1860s for the prestige of having the longest name of a railway station in Great Britain, and could not be considered an authentic word in the Welsh language. A translation into English would yield "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".

A volte face of " Llife in Reverse"





Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.

Well, right from childhood we have heard it untold times , we have read it umpteen times that ours is a nation of diversities. Unity in diversity has been our mantra from the time we got our freedom.But sadly we never truly practiced what we preached. There has been cases when the very basis of our unity and sovereignty has been put to jeopardy. The demolition of Babri Masjid, Godhra carnage, riot post-Mumbai blast in 1993 has been but a gory and forgettable phase of our history.But still we have managed to hold our fabrics together.We have maintained what the Westerners have beheld in awe -to be the world's largest democracy. Few days back Bill Clinton the former Prez of United States told in a private party to Sant Chatwal - " You come from a great country where the president in a Muslim, the Prime minister is a Sikh and the head of the ruling party is a Catholic Christian."

I just stumbled into a great pick that speaks volumes of what I am trying to convey to u all.

Centrifugal force !!!

Centrifugal Force

In lighter vain!!

Well, junta complain that I don't post frequently enuff. So thats why I reverted to something that really interests me Mathematics.Well, junta don't yawn coz what u shall c is not the number-crunching stuff but mathematics in a lighter vain. Mathematics largely perceived as a arcane and pristine stuff, which is absolute and don't defer in any circumstances ; but few realize that maths can be pure fun if u can see the funny side of mathematics.mathematical fallacies are very commonplace and can be very entertaining stuff.For example this one which I came to know as early as class six.It was pretty baffling to me that time but u just cant ignore the craftiness of the problem. OK here we go!!


a = b [ let us assume]

ab = b2 [ Multiplying both sides by b]

ab – a2 = b2- a2 [ Subtracting both sides by a2 ]

a(b-a) = (b-a)(b+a) [ simplifying]

a = b + a

Let us say a = b = 1 conforming to our initial hypothesis

So, 1 = 1+ 1

i.e 1 = 2 !!!!!! [ Is that possible ???!!@@# ]

Well, if u have an answer do write it in my scrap. Well, now we'll have some twist with mathematical symbols. Here it goes

ex = un

I know that this is mathematically outrageous , a complete blasphemy of integral calculus and a complete nonsense when it comes to its mathematical integrity. But however here is some thing hidden in this ........ a little funny something which an inquisitive and shrewed mind can only see. See between the lines and decipher it to me!!
