webearn99 It is the "feel good" factor that works its magic here. Definitely worth a try.

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 13 Feb 13

You may have occasionally seen me use the insult "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits". Perhaps you are wondering where that one came from. I Googled it, and it is actually all over the internet in...

webearn99 It seems oriental to say the least, and perhaps a bit too mild. Infesting the crotch might be more graphical and funny.

webearn99 We in India also have this tradition. It was called "Vasantotsavam" or as it is known now as Holi. This festival is dedicated to Madana or the mythological cupid. The way it is celebrated is different from what happens on a valentine's day, but the spirit is...

Human "Wisdom" or What??

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 11 Feb 13

One of my friends posted some thought provoking info.. Have a look: In 2012 the world spent $1735 billion on war. It would take $135 billion to end poverty. Man continues to ignore God's commandment to love each other....

webearn99 Forgive me for being cynical, but, when did mankind follow "God's commandment"? It is only when it suits us that we actually give a thought to what religion says. Normally it is pure selfishness that guides on what we do. Administrations have this vested...

Bring Back The Food Inspectors

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 12 Feb 13

In this country, at the moment, we're finding out that not all food we eat is what it's supposed to be i.e. horse instead of beef found in processed foods. I'm so glad I don't eat this crap anymore. At first...

webearn99 It is greed that makes people do this. Greed that makes them oblivious to the health hazards people are likely to face when they eat. It is the same in some cheaper brands of commercially available packed food in India. Though the label says "Tomato...

Does scent of perfume change in time?

Graceekwenx @Graceekwenx (3160) • Philippines 5 Feb 13

Does perfume have an expiry date? Based on experience, some perfumes and colognes tend to smell like a grass... i wonder why... if perfume quality does change in time, what must we do to retain its scent?

webearn99 Anything that smells has an expiry date. Perfumes are chemicals or organic extracts mixed into a base chemical, generally alcohol. Perfumes evaporate from this mixture, mix with air and produce the pleasant scent which you can smell. As time goes by the...

webearn99 Devices that record on the sly do exist as of now. Be it a pen or a key chain. Integrating the same into jewellery is no big deal. There is a loss of privacy with these things, that is for sure. No pain no gain, I guess! What fires my imagination is the...
