Take a peek here

I am not sure if its any kind of spoof, but going by this I am hopelessly right brained :(

Are you right brained, or left brained? Some guys report they can change directions at will!!!

BTW, some folks have wasted days just looking at this, which you wouldn’t do if you have any brains at all!

To high school kids

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Did not go to work today. Throat infection and mild fever were good enough excuses, but excuses nevertheless.
Been up and reading for the most part of the day sitting at home.

I wish this was written and I’d read this when I was in high school. I feel jealous that today’s high school kids can read this.
As much as I feel jealous I want all the high school kids I know to read it anyway.

A forwarded mail from one of my friend’s friend :)

Hi,

Just wanted to send a couple of links and share an experience with you all. A few days back from my office cafetaria, I picked up a tropicana beverage that contained a blend of Orange, Banana and Strawberry. As I am always suspicious & paranoid (sigh !!), I checked the ingredients. There was a “Cochineal Extract” that aroused my suspicion, but I convinced myself thinking it was likely to be a sea weed. However, after buying it, but before consuming it, I “googled” for that term and found some information, which made me discard that beverage.

Basically it is a small bug. They add it for colour and flavour. I can’t believe that these companies have been adding BUGS& insects in to our beverage !!!! eeeww!!!!

Looks like there has been a new FDA regulation that forced these companies to declare such ingredients.

I don’t want to describe more, and those of you interested in the details, take a look at the following links.
