			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With the help of some Somali pirates hiding on the USS Carl Vinson, the first photographs of Bin Laden&#8217;s dead body have leaked out. Adarama Osmania Ali, one of the Somali Pirates, with the help of his Apple  IPad managed to capture gripping images of Bin Laden&#8217;s corpse just before it was dropped into the North Arabian Sea.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.srajaram.com/images/Bin-Laden-Dead-Body.jpg" alt="Bin Laden Dead body photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Initially, there was some speculation whether this indeed was Bin Laden&#8217;s body, as the shape of a corpse resembled that of a woman. But all that doubt was laid to rest when Bin Laden&#8217;s personal trainer, currently at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, identified the shape as Bin laden&#8217;s and said that Bin Laden was a fitness fanatic and had enough muscles to match even Arnold Schwarzsomething. As you can see from the contours of the image above, Bin laden was definitely not happy at being shot on his head. Also, if you notice carefully (at a zoom of around 400%), a sign saying &#8220;Made in China&#8221; is visible on the top left of the cloth. This clearly proves that this photo was shot at an American facility.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today morning, rumours started appearing on Twitter and Facebook that Bin Laden was not killed and thrown into the sea, but just asked to jump in and start swimming to wherever he wanted to. This was all because of this photograph taken somewhere on the Arabian Sea.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.srajaram.com/images/Bin-laden-arabian-sea-body.jpg" alt="Bin Laden Dead body photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But, after multiple rounds of image analysis including a chemical analysis of the photo of the water, it was concluded that this was not taken in the arabian sea, but in the dead sea in Israel. I don&#8217;t know why people publish such fake photographs to grab attention! Btw, there are some conspiracy theorists and mathematicians hard at work to see if it is humanly possible to swim from the Arabian sea to the dead sea overnight&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-408 aligncenter" title="piggy" src="http://www.srajaram.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/piggy.jpg" alt="Swine Flu" width="350" height="403" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Americans don&#8217;t need a reason to get scared. Being paranoid is one of the qualities that Americans are proud of and they would go to any lengths to ensure that every generation inherits this &#8220;feature&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Swine Flu is yet another invention of the americans to ensure that the average joe is aware that americans are supposed to wake up every morning fearing that the world would collapse around them and that they have to take extreme steps to prevent that from happening.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, what can happen because of this swine flu scare?</p>
<ul>
<li>There will be a movie released this winter named &#8220;Aporkalypse now&#8221; where the main scene would be hundreds of pigs escaping from a sty and running into New York.</li>
<li>Americans would start shooting pigs instead of brown bears.</li>
<li>Piggy banks would be replaced by Chicky banks with the tagline &#8220;Flu-free&#8221;. But, next year, after the onset of bird flu, these would be recalled by the manufacturers.</li>
<li>America would launch a military campaign against Iran on the grounds that muslims don&#8217;t eat pork and this has led to the explosion of the pig population in the gulf which poses a &#8220;direct&#8221; threat to the spread of swine flu in USA.</li>
<li>The porn industry would make use of this opportunity and would release a movie named &#8220;Piggy Piggy bang bang&#8221;</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">It is a known fact that Americans like it big, so big that visitors from outside the US start to feel a sense of &#8220;small&#8221;ness. I came back from Seattle last weekend (my third trip to the US) and looking back at my experiences there, my world is tiny compared to theirs.
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I am used to buying tshirts of size L or XL. But, it was a surprise to me that i had to choose medium or even small in some shops when i was in the US. I was flattered. I remember, back in school, that friends used to joke that one doesn&#8217;t need to wear underwear if you were wearing a over sized tshirt, as the bottom of the tshirt fell way below your waistline. if a normal person were to try on the XL sizes available in the US, you don&#8217;t even near to wear socks/shoes!</li>
<li>i have seen the size XL and rarely XXL, but only in the US have i seen the size XXXL. There are also separate sections called &#8220;Big and Tall&#8221; which ironically have a small size too. Of course, the small in these sections can easily fit in my entire family!</li>
<li>Small in the US is not small for the rest of the world. When we were at a movie, i ordered a small coke. The &#8220;small&#8221; coke arrived in a cup almost as long as my &#8230; fore-arm!</li>
<li>In one of the cafes in Chicago airport, i saw a mom (super-sized one) feeding her small baby (a small one not capable of talking yet, sitting inside a stroller) french fries. No wonder, the average american turns out to be a super-sized adult.</li>
<li>Everyone knows COSTCO, the wholesaler where everything is cheap compared to other stores. But, there is a catch. You can only buy huge american-sized stuff. That would mean you have buy at least 5 kgs of potato chips or few kilos of chocolates.</li>
</ul>
<p>God help america!<br />No wonder stores like COSTCO are so popular, where the smallest chips packet would be the 1 kg one.</div>
