The Offtopic thread...

[Faun]

not typical love stories, Jab We Met like

[Piyush]

Hollywood does not love 'love'; they love aliens, zombies and people who forgot their past
And Germans love torture movies
And Koreans love melodrama and horror
China/Jap loves Horror+rope assisted tree-to-tree flying martial arts

lol at bold line

there are far more worse things that you should be aware of in city buses. Counts of my friends have lost their wallets/purses and mobiles in city buses!

[gagan007]

nice find abhidev, but seriously I am sick and tired of these Mac vs PC wars. People do not understand that it is a matter of personal choice. Everyone knows that Apple products come with a premium but then if someone is ready to pay that, what's the harm. Don't people drive cars worth 16cr when they have many options within 16lacs
Similarly that God is there or not. Are yaar, how the hell it affects you if it is proven that God exists or it is just a fake belief.

[Faun]

tl;dr pc vs mac BS

If you stare at the following picture long enough,
you should see a giraffe...

[R2K]

^^
lol ...that was awesome

[nims11]

DON'T scroll down too fast -- do it slowly,  and follow the
instructions below exactly, and do the math in your head as fast as you
can.  It worked on us.

FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as you can!

What is:




2+2?

















4+4?


















8+8?


















16+16?


















Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5.  Got it?

Now scroll down...


























The number you picked was 7 right?

Isn't that weird???

[R2K]

^^
yes that was weird and really dumb...because i went for 10
Did u come up with this thing on your own?

[gagan007]

nims11, somehow i was disappointed. I chose 7, my friend chose 10

[rhitwick]

^for that, the previous calculations are irrelevent.

An average person would pick either 3 or 7 if asked to choose any one starting from 1 to 10.

[nims11]

IMO, i think the previous calculation were to get the mind into the rhythm of addition, then suddenly breaking it by asking to choose a number between 5 and 12. like previous questions, people will try to answer this question quickly and go for a 7 as it usually comes first to their mind. according to my experience, i was blank for a moment when the last question was asked and i went for 7 without thinking nything.

[Vyom]

wow.. this offtopic thread, is really educational! Glad I noticed that today

[Rockstar11]

If you stare at the following picture long enough,
you should see a giraffe...

haha.. very nice..
do u have Big Image?

[Piyush]

yup..many people would have chosen 7 IF they were fast in picking the number
it is so because we are asked the number so quick and the limits are defined in such a way that 12 is the first number and 5 is the 2nd number.....this makes mind to quickly subtract the numbers and hence we come up with 7

[thetechfreak]

Nims 11...I choosed 7 without thinking dont know how you guessed

yup..many people would have chosen 7 IF they were fast in picking the number

Yup, if some one was slow in any step they will pick some thing else. I picked 7

ALZHEIMERS’ EYE TEST

Count every ‘ F ‘ in the following text:



FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
(SEE BELOW)


HOW MANY ?

.
.
.
.
.

3?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 – no joke.
.
.
.
.
.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process ‘OF’.





Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 ‘F’s’ on the first go is a genius.




Three is normal, four is quite rare.

[R2K]

^^
wow.....intresting

[thetechfreak]

Whoa! I found 3 first.
Interesting.

[nims11]

i counted three even in the second go.
then i read that 'OF' thing and counted 6

The Art of Appraisal


Big Boss: This year your performance was good, excellent and outstanding. So, your rating is "average".

Kumar: What? How come 'average'?

Big Boss: Because...err...uhh...you lack domain knowledge.

Kumar: But last year you said I am a domain expert and you put me in this project as a domain consultant.

Big Boss: Oh is it? Well, in that case, I think your domain knowledge has eroded this year.

Kumar: What???

Big Boss: Yes, I didn't see you sharing knowledge on Purchasing domain.

Kumar: Why would I? Because I am not in Purchasing, I am in Manufacturing.

Big Boss: This is what I don't like about you. You give excuse for everything.

Kumar: Huh? *Confused*

Big Boss: Next, you need to improve your communication skills.

Kumar: Like what? I am the one who trained the team on "Business Communication", you sat in the audience and took notes, you remember?

Big Boss: Oh is it? Errr...well..I mean, you need to improve your Social Pragmatic Affirmative Communication.

Kumar: Huh? What the hell is that? *Confused*

Big Boss: See! That's why you need to learn about it.

Kumar: *head spinning*

Big Boss: Next, you need to sharpen your recruiting skills. All the guys you recruited left within 2 months.

Kumar: Well, not my mistake. You told them you will sit beside them and review their code, and most resigned the next day itself. Couple of them even attempted suicide.

Big Boss:*stunned* (recovers from shock) Err...anyway, I tried to give you a better rating, but our Normalization process gave you only 'average'.

Kumar: Last year that process gave me 'excellent'. This year just 'average'? Why is this process pushing me up and down every year?

Big Boss: That's a complicated process. You don't want to hear.

Kumar: I'll try to understand. Go ahead.

Big Boss: Well, we gather in a large room, write down the names of sub-ordinates in bits of paper, and throw them up in the air. Whichever lands on the floor gets 'average', whichever lands on table gets 'good', whichever we manage to catch gets 'excellent' and whichever gets stuck to ceiling gets 'outstanding'.

Kumar: (eyes popping out) What? Ridiculous! So who gets 'poor' rating?

Big Boss: Those are the ones we forget to write down.

Kumar: What the hell! And how can paper bits stick to ceiling for 'outstanding'?

Big Boss: Oh no, now you have started questioning our 20 year old organizational process!

Kumar: *faints*

[gopi_vbboy]
