And Now Some News

Here's a sober Blog for you:

More shooting. In a drunken revelry, Danny Carpio, an army private, while shooting in air to celebrate his return for the holidays, accidentally shot dead a Bangladeshi woman in her eye on the 5th floor (4th by our standards) in Queens, New York. Selina Akhtar was 28 and was looking out the window at that time. She was undiscovered for half hour until her husband got off the phone.

"What are you, fucking crazy?" an unidentified man had asked the shooter. He had replied, laughing: Yeah, we're crazy!"

This rings a familiar tone with the incident over at Nagarkot, doesn't it? To use the heavily cliched statement: Guns dont kill people! People kill people!

Deceptive Glass re.

A study done at Cornell University showed that you tend to pour less liquor into a tall, slender glass than you would into a short, fat glass. But your mind thinks that it's the other way around.

The study also demonstrated that even professional bartenders misjudge the amount wrong much of the time, although their assessments improve with experience.

So when you are drinking for the New Years', make sure you choose the glass along with the liquor type to make sure you get your objective (drink more than you think to get wet, or less than you think to be sober yet lightheaded)!
