messing with the x-ray tech's head!
via gocomics.com
ROFLMAO
[extending the story to its logical conclusion]
after recovering from his shock and waiting for Stew to get back to normal from his fit of childish mirth, the x-ray tech positioned Stew and strapped him in place on the table for repeating the x-ray. after getting behind his secure lead shield, the tech asks with an evil snigger, "how do you want your balls done Stew, fried or burnt to a cinder?"

in vivo & in vitro trojan
via gocomics.com
i have a nit to pick!
a trojan is not exactly a virus, as it does not self replicate.
i'm sure my geek friends will agree.

Ig Nobel 2009 Prize winnners announced
The winners of this year's Ig Nobel Prize were announced on October 1, at a ceremony held at Harvard’s Sanders theater.
This photo, from the Associated Press, shows Public Health Prize winner Elena Bodnar demonstrating her invention — a brassiere that, in an emergency, can be quickly converted into a pair of gas masks, one for the brassiere wearer and one to be given to some needy bystander. Nobel laureates Wolfgang Ketterle (center) and Orhan Pamuk (right) assist in the demonstration.

Other notable winners:
Veterinary Medicine Prize for showing that cows who have names give more milk than cows that are nameless.
Peace Prize for determining — by experiment — whether it is better to be smashed over the head with a full bottle of beer or with an empty bottle.
Physics Prize for analytically determining why pregnant women don't tip over.
…and the best,
Chemistry Prize for creating diamonds from liquid — specifically from tequila.

A day in the life of a PACS Administrator
via youtube.com
as the blurb in YouTube says, "This might not make sense if you are not a fellow PACS administrator, but if you are, it will seem VERY familiar..." Indeed :D
Sent to me by Suresh, our Senior-PACS-Admin-cum-Managing-Director-cum-On-Call-Medical-Officer.
I love the ambidextrous guy (Dr.Kildare) who wants two mice to work on his four screens and the lady surgeon who goes "I'm a Super User?!"

ramayana as told by an american teen
a young second generation Indian in the US was asked by his mother to explain the significance of Diwali to his younger brother.
this is his version …
"So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and people liked him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to some national forest or something. Since he was going, for like, something like more than 10 years or so.... he decided to get his wife and his bro along.... you know...so that they could all chill out together. But Dude, the forest was reeeeal scary shit... really man...they had monkeys and devil s and shit like that. But this dude, Ram, kicked with darts and bows and arrows... so it was fine.
i got this from a friend via email. if by chance, you don't know what Ramayana & Diwali are, click the links to view the Wikipedia entries. i strongly recommend that you also read this hilarious post by Krish Ashok - Ramayanapedia.
But then some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, was our man, and also his bro, Laxman, pissed... all the gods were with him... So anyways, you don't mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army of monkeys...Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys... just go along with me, ok...
So, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own hood.... Anyways, by this time, their time's up in the forest... and anyways... it gets kinda boring, you know... no TV or malls or shit like that. So,they decided to hitch a ride back home... and when the people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home... they thought, well, you know, at least they deserve something nice... and they didn't have any bars or clubs in those days... so they couldn't take them out for a drink, so they, like, decided to smoke and stuff ... and since they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps also...so it was pretty cooool... you know with all those fireworks.... Really, they even had some local band play along with the fireworks... and you know, what, dude, that was the very first, no kidding.., that was the very first music-synchronized fireworks.... you know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler and stuff, you know. And, so dude, that was how, like, this festival started."
