Can you find the fault with this picture?


Can you find the fault with this picture?

Amazing shot!!!Swimming elephant!!


Amazing shot!!!Swimming elephant takes man for a dip.Perched between the tusks, an Indian 'mahout' or elephant driver is photographed on his steed in this arresting image.The photograph, taken by Italy-based Cesare Naldi, won first prize in the National Geographic International Photography contest last December.

It was taken in the Andaman Islands, a remote archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, where Rajan, a 60-year-old elephant, lives.

The six-ton elephant learnt to swim 40 years ago to help work for logging companies there.

For years the elephant felled trees with Nasru, his 58-year-old driver.

But in 2002 logging was banned in the islands and most of the 200 elephants were sent back to the Indian mainland.

However, Rajan was kept on by a wealthy owner who had no desire to see him leave Havelock Island, and enjoyed a blissful existence eating bananas and swimming in the crystal clear water.

Two years ago a Kerala temple offered £40,000 for the elephant and Rajan almost had to leave, before a tourist lodge launched a campaign to raise the funds to keep him. Since then Rajan and Nasru have become something of an attraction.

Naldi told National Geographic: "When I was in the water with Rajan, I was really surprised by how fast he could move his legs to swim. Most of the time he had his head under the water and used his long nose to breathe, like a submarine uses its periscope."


North American landmark


What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

Woman jumping!!



A woman steps to the edge of a very high building, & as people look on, she leaps off, & falls several stories. The woman is not injured. Why?
Hint: The woman did not fall on cushions or any other type of softened surface, & was not wearing a parachute.

Can you guess!!!



Can you guess!!! The Pope, Celine Dion, Barack Obama, and Bill Gates are on the same plane. There are only 3 parachutes left for the 4 of them.

Obama says: “As the President, I think I should have the right to have a parachute, because I rule millions of people in the greatest nation of all.”

Celine Dion says: “As one of the greatest singers of all-time, I think I should deserve to be safe. I bring tears and laughter to millions of people, and I’m an important contributor to pop music.”

Bill Gates says: “As one of the richest successful company owners, I think I should live because I’m on top of the economics cycle, creating jobs and incomes for millions of people. I am a wealthy and intelligent man.”

Finally, the Pope says: “I’m an old, religious man. I lived a life that’s full, I helped millions of people find their way through God, I’m ready to let go of a parachute and to face my fate.”
Which one of them will abandon the parachute and die?

Can you find??


Can you find?? - There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, "The books are all right here in plain view hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus; there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found. God Bless.
