Arizona:

· Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs (this one really cracks me up)
· It is illegal to manufacture imitation cocaine (damn right, it should be illegal lol)

· Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.
· Bathhouses are against the law.
· Women may not drive in a house coat. (I say women may not drive in anything, that should be fun)
· No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. (no shit Sherlock)

New York:
· Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business. (I am in favor of this law)

· It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
· When having sex, only the missionary position is legal. (HUH!? … but then, who’s reporting)

Visit to the doctor...

OK so till now i was living in this denial that my insomnia and sleeping issues will just take care of it self and my body will self correct. But well it has become worse since last one week and now its really taking a toll on my body. I have been irritated, confused and well just a huge mess. I haven't been going to my classes nor have i been hanging out with my friends a lot and well lets just say its screwing my life big time. So finally i decided to visit my campus health center and here's the funny part. i am waiting here outside in the waiting area and guess what. I AM SLEEPY. yes, all of a sudden i am just really really sleepy. anyway, they just called my name and lets see what the doc says.

UPDATE:okay...i got some pills...which are going to help me sleep. The doc. told me that the side effects can be dizziness, dehydration blah blah blah and hallucination. LOL...i swear i couldn't help but smile when she said hallucination. I am sure she must have thought that i am just one of those people trying to score some pills. Anyway, hopefully i can sleep now.

Bhenchod (BC) !!!

I can’t believe I am posting this. It all started with one of the most random thoughts that popped up in my mind and well it led to this word. I still don’t believe I am posting this. Anyway, so for those of you who don’t know what it means (it’s only possible if you’re not an Indian). It is one of the most commonly used and abused swear in India. Its literal meaning is “sister fucker” or “one who fucked his sister”, but it isn’t always used in that context. In fact, majority of the time it is used in a more general-casual sense. Something similar to using the word fuck for both, something good and bad. It just depends in what tone you say it. At times it can be said as casually as the word 'damn', something like “damn, what an ass she has” or “damn it, I told you this would happen”. I searched the word in urban dictionary and here is one of the interesting definitions I found:

"bhenchod;
Yes, the word does mean sister-fucker, literally. The word was used even as early as the 1800s. If you read Lawrence James' book, the 'RAJ', you will find that Bhenchod was used as a common slang even then. The slang is still used across India and Pakistan, more so in villages, by men and women alike.
The pronunciation may change with the region (Baheenchod in UP & Bihar, Bhaincho in Punjab, northern India and Pakistan, and so on...) " ...

During school days, I remember, this was one word that would fit-in in any situation. For example, if you are praising someone, you would say, “BC, good job dude” or “BC, I again forgot to do the homework”, if you are screwed. On further searching google.com I found this excerpt from Suketu Mehta’s book “ the maximum city” which describes the word and its use in the best possible way. So here it is:

“I missed saying bhenchod to people who understood it. It does not mean 'sister fucker'. That is too literal, too crude. It is, rather, punctuation, or emphasis, as innocuous a word as 'shit' or 'damn'. The different countries of India can be identified by the way each pronounces this word - from the Punjabi bhaenchod to the thin Bambaiyya pinchud to the Gujarati bhenchow to the Bhopali elaboration bhen-ka-lowda. Parsis use it all the time, grandmothers, five-year-olds, casually and without any discernible purpose except as filler: 'Here, bhenchod, get me a glass of water.' 'Arre, bhenchod, I went to the bhenchod bank today.'In my first New York winter, wearing a foam jacket my parents had bought in Bombay which actually dispersed my body heat out to the atmosphere instead of preserving it, and sucking in the freezing winds during my mile-long walk to school and drawing them to my body, I found I could generate warmth by screaming out this word. Walking into the wind and the snowdrifts, my head down, I would roar, 'Bhenchod! Bheyyyyyn-chod!' The walk to school led through quiet Queens residential streets, and the good Irish, Italian, and Polish senior citizens who happened to be home in the daytime much have heard this word on very cold days, screamed out loudly by a small brown boy dressed inappropriately for the weather.”

Ohh and to those of you who feel offended or intimated by this post, let’s face it, it is, was and always will be one of the most common and most oftenly used words in India for years. I am sure, rather I can bet my life that you have used this word at least once in your lifetime, whether in a good or a bad context. So just relax and calm down, BHENCHOD!!!

Drinking age doesn't add up...?!

18th birthday is a huge deal to most of us. So, you are now 18, by now you have a license to drive a car, you can register to vote, go to strip clubs, by cigarettes, order useless stuff on TV and have sex. But then wait, come weekend and you realize you are still a loser, since you have to sit at home and watch TV (and order those useless stuff) just because you are not old enough or should I say grown up or mature enough to drink. Its’ like you have it all but you life just isn’t exactly complete till you turn 21.
The logic is that, apparently 21 is an age when a person would be mature enough to hold the responsibilities and consequences that comes along with alcohol. But is it really? There are so many 21-year-olds that have the maturity and responsibility level of a 12-year-old. And on the other end of the spectrum, there are 17-year-olds who hold the responsibility of a 30-year-old.
Why at the age of 18 (or 19 or 20) can you have a say in who runs your country but you can't celebrate when your nominee wins (or forget he or she lost) with a beer?What makes an individual mature enough to fight for their country but not purchase alcohol? You can join the army and hold an assault rifle but you can’t buy a six pack of beer. What makes a person mature enough for one but not the other?Just because you're 21 doesn't mean you are mature enough. Or in that case just because you are NOT 21 doesn’t mean you are not mature. There are so many countries where the legal drinking age is way below 21, does that mean that kids over there go on a killing spree or drive their cars into rivers every weekend? No, they are still responsible (and well some are not, but then you can find those idiots everywhere). Belgium has the minimum age of 15, followed by France, which has 16. And USA is among the few countries having the highest age limit, 21.
This whole Age restriction is pointless. I mean, the legal age to consume or purchase alcohol is 21, but that doesn't stop anyone younger from doing it. Take a look at any of the weekend house parties and you will find so many underage drinkers. This law is only there to give the cops something to do on weekends.
In keeping the drinking age at 21, it's only going to continue to promote underage drinking. Underage drinkers drink because it's illegal and they're being rebellious. Why do you think so many people do drugs? There's that thrill of doing something you're not supposed to do. My friends even said that once he turned 21, drinking wasn't as fun anymore since it was completely legal.If anything the government should come to some sort of consensus between the two. Have the legal drinking age at 19. If it's lowered to 18 then a lot of people are still in high school. Then at parties where high school seniors are able to purchase alcohol, it would be much easier for 13-year-olds to get their hands on it. By making the legal age 19, they're already in college. College students are expected to act like adults, living on our own and whatnot. But if the drinking age is 21 then they are basically prolonging our childhood by not giving us full responsibility over ourselves.After all, age is just a number.
