Only in America

A Michigan public school banned an autistic 8-year-old boy from bringing his Bible to class. Jason Cross likes to read the Bible during free time, his mom said, but officials at Highview Elementary told him that the book is "only for church, not for school." Only when a reporter called, did the superintendent reverse the policy.

there are a lot of walking dead in UP in india.Their relatives declare them dead to grab their property. in fact there is an association of walking dead to get back their live status.

in christian schools in delhi ,caste marks-pottu for girls ,vibhuthi and such signs for boys are not allowed.their minority status allows them to have a Bible class,where attendance is not mandatory.we have attended tamil minority school ,with invocation to murugan in prayers with our brahmin signs displayed in full glory.

$500 Tip to a waitress

Collins, of Lexington, Ky., had a younger brother, Aaron, who died unexpectedly in July 2012 of unknown causes at the age of 30. Collins found a will on Aaron's computer with instructions that included, "Leave an awesome tip (and I don't mean 25%. I mean $500 on a … pizza)."

Collins made it his mission to deliver tips of $500 to waiters and waitresses in every state in the USA.

Time-lapse video of marine life

Do you want to see what marine life looks like?

Corals and sponges are very mobile creatures, but their motion is only detectable at different time scales compared to ours and requires time lapses to be seen. These animals build coral reefs and play crucial roles in the biosphere, yet we know almost nothing about their daily lives.

too cute

Dear RR ji,

I somehow find all these baby videos scary..a child can actually be very scary at times.

An horror movie with a child ghost can be more scary than an adult ghost cos we can never know what a child would be up to.

BTW I think that video is animated..the children do not look real.

 

[Raji Ram]

........... BTW I think that video is animated..the children do not look real.

It is animated for sure, Renu! But even then I liked it.

 

[renuka]

It is animated for sure, Renu! But even then I liked it.

Dear RR ji,

But those kids are not even real! How to like it? Its like how guys get excited seeing silicone implants and think it's real!LOL

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

I think ONLY the movements of the tiny tots are animated and these kids exist!
