Zidane is now a virus. Hackers and virus creators are using the story of Zinedine Zidane head-butting in the final of the World Cup for accessing into personal computers by linking it to their virus affected site. The bogus website actually looks like an official Fifa world cup site and wants people to comment on the head-butting of Italian player Marco Materazzi. This site downloads bugs into personal computers, which eventually makes way for other viruses to come in.
Here is a story of a dumb hijacker. A man wearing a nylon mask and carrying a knife climbed into the back of a car in Australia and ordered the driver to take him to a nearby address. Before stepping down, the man took the drivers wallet with all the money.
The driver dropped him at his desired address and than went to the police. Police with the help of the dog squad started searching and found the man from the exact address he stepped down! He was arrested and the victim's money recovered.
Latter this hijacker was advised to reconsider his career options. Rightly so.
Overenthusiastic Bangladeshi soccer fans were ordered to pull down flags of World Cup contestants two weeks after the finals concluded in Germany. Bangladesh never qualified for the cup nor does it have a realistic chance in near future; which is matter of no regret for the dedicated fans that support Brazil and Argentina at large. Flying flags of other countries does not affect Bangladeshis’ national pride, nor do they realize the humiliation it brings to the nation.
"Flying flags of other countries is illegal but we allowed it considering that the World Cup was a special occasion," the police said in a statement. "Now that the event is over, football fans should have pulled down the flags. If they don't, owners of the buildings should remove them immediately."
Well soccer is a game and a game is just a game. No hard feelings.
Little brain work, if you please………
You have a ‘ping pong ball’ at the end of a curvy, long, skinny hole in the ground. You want to get it out but you can't stick your hand in it won't reach or fit. A string won't work because you won't be able to attach it. What can you do to get it out without digging a hole?
In which question, can you never answer "yes" to?
War time puzzle:
During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?
Diary of a Management Trainee:
When I take a long time... I am slow.
When my boss takes a long time... he is thorough.
When I don't do it... I am lazy.
When my boss doesn't do it... he is too busy.
When I do something without being told... I am over-stepping my boundaries.
When my boss does the same thing... that is initiative.
When I overlook a rule of etiquette... I am rude.
When my boss slips a few rules... he is being original.
Health Tips:
Water works for losing weight.
For every one hour of work, take a five minute break and stretch, walk, or meditate. With just a few minutes of relaxation (or doing something other than work), you'll increase your physical activity as well as productivity and feel better throughout the day.
Management moral with the help of ‘Rose’:
Mr. and Mrs. Jabbar, an elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, Mr. Jabbar said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly. The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" Mr. Jabbar thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?" said the other. "Yes, that's the one," replied Mr. Jabbar. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”
Moral: Managers do not have to remember everything. They just need to know the sources of information.
Memorable Quote:
A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well as afterward.
