Thought of the day

"If you ask me, God gave guys more practical bodies and gave girls more practical brains."
- excerpt from a conversation between me and a close friend.

Quote

"God works in mysterious ways; science just tries to unravel the mysteries."

I honestly came up with this- but I've been told by a couple of people that it has been copied from somewhere. Don't know where- googling didn't come up with anything.

A child's point of view

As a child, I wondered about the meaning of life and death. I imagined that in heaven, peoples' souls lived forever. There was no concept of death. And so, the souls ultimately got rather bored- there was nothing to do that they hadn't already done. So, as an ingenious plan, they invented an MMORPG- and it was called Earth.

Beards... a boon!

Advantages of having facial hair:
  • For one, men get to customize a part of their body which women don't. One can style one's beard in various ways- frenchie's, goatie's, chops, bla bla bla... or one can simply shave.
  • One ends up washing one's face every now and then (when one shaves), thus leading to cleaner skin.
  • The shaving blade scrapes out the dead skin cells along with hair, thereby improving the quality of the skin.
  • If one doesn't shave, a beard protects the facial skin from dirt and pollution.
  • Apart from aesthetics, beards also protect the skin from excessive cold in places like Canada.
  • Facial Hair itself acts as sun-protection. If one lives in a sunny area, then facial hair can provide shade to the skin- thus leading to a fairer complexion.
No wonder women spend so much time on makeup- nature did half our work for us!
