To admit openly a wrongdoing or to admit the truth of something requires lots of courage.

Let it go!
I somehow stumbled upon this site that lets you tell the whole world what you did (or didn't do.) and get it off your chest. What's more!!! You can read other people's confessions and find out that there are people more weird than yourself. This is much better than a soap opera or a talk show.

This site actually allows you to post your confessions as well as to help sort out the problems of others by playing agony aunt (or uncle).

Go ahead..this is very therapeutic and cheaper than therapy!

The Chalk

It's a tool that’s used to write.
The teacher wields it with all her might.
Small is its towering height,
Let me tell you, it’s all snow white.

It’s available in all the hues,
Greens, and yellows, and pinks and blues,
It helps you intake the universal brew,
Fractions, chlorine and Waterloo.

Though it’s mighty powerful and strong,
I don’t know why it doesn’t last long.

List of Banished Words!

Recent years have seen a myriad of brand-new words that are perpetually being added to dictionaries.

Now Lake Superior State University, has published its List of Banished Words. that includes "flip-flop"(and all variants thereof), "all-new"– referring to television shows… “Of course it’s all new. Why can’t they just say ‘new’? There are no partially-new episodes, no repeat of last Tuesday’s episode with a slightly reworked Act 2.”

LSSU accepts nominations for the List of Banished Words throughout the year. Go ahead! submit your nomination for the year 2006!

Look Back!!!

I have always been entranced by the paranormal and mystical world. I’ve often wondered who I was in my past life, and spent hours imagining myself to be a Czarina, or a rebel who changed the course of history... LOLZ.

Do you ever wonder who you were in your past life? Were you an entertainer, a king or queen or a street beggar?
Have a dekko at this site that tells you who YOU were in your past life...

How old are you today?

Calculate your exact age!
To know for exactly how many days, hours and seconds you have walked the earth...

NEWS FLASH!
I'm only 17! :)

The Earth spins once every 24 hours which gives us the length of the day. It also orbits around the Sun once every year, which is about 365 days.

However, other planets spin and orbit at different speeds, so their days and years are different lengths.

Work out your age on other planets!

According to it I'm a 52 year old lady on Venus (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!) , still 17 :) on Mars. and still an infant on Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This is simply fascinating!!!

Know how it happened...

Sunday 26 December 2004: at 0100 GMT, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake occurs on the seafloor near Aceh in northern Indonesia. This earthquake generated a huge tsunami wave, hitting the coasts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and even Somalia. The below image shows how the wave moved towards the surrounding coasts. Click on this link to see an animation. (650 KB)
