Pencil: I'm sorry....

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

• I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
• Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always
• there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.
• Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy
• with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

• Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary devices like the Nextep Computer are bound to happen.
• Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible OLED touch screen.
• Earmarked for the year 2020, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility, make the concept plausible.
• Ten years from now is not too far away, so how many of you think we'd be buying such gadgets?

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?







2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?







3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?







4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?




5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
