OMG. Dog fight in Afghanistan

I thought Muslims are forbidden to touch let alone rear dogs and gambling is a big sin for all Muslims.  So the Afghans are the biggest sinners?

HALLELUJAH!

HALLELUJAH!

A Preacher said: "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

And the congregation cried,"Amen!"

"And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it in the river."

And the congregation cried,"Amen!"

"And if I had all the whiskey and rum in the world, I'd take it all and throw it in the river."

Again the congregation cried, "Amen!"

The preacher sat down. The deacon then stood up & said: "For our closing hymn, let's turn to page 126 of our hymn books and sing, "We shall drink from that river."

THE CONGREGATION SCREAMED, "HALLELUJAH!!!"

World's first curved smartphone hits stores in South Korea

Samsung did not say when the Galaxy Round, which has a concave handset designed to fit in the curve of the user's palm, will be available internationally. It is priced at about 1.08 million won ($1,000).

A model holds Samsung's first 'curved' smartphone Galaxy Round, a 5.7-inch handset with a display that is slightly rounded on both sides, at the Electronics and IT Industry Fair in Goyang, north of Seoul, on October 10, 2013. Samsung's first smartphone with a curved display screen enters the South Korean market on October 10, as the electronics giant seeks to maintain its lead in the increasingly saturated market.

Samsung launched the world's first smartphone with a curved display screen on Thursday, as the electronics giant seeks to maintain its lead in the increasingly saturated market.
Galaxy Round -- a 5.7-inch concave handset that fits the curve of a user's palm -- has hit stores in South Korea but Samsung did not say when the new phone will be available globally.
Curved screens -- billed as lighter and thinner than current display panels -- are at a nascent stage in display technology, which is shifting towards flexible panels that are bendable or can even be rolled or folded.
The new phone -- powered by Google's Android system and featuring a 2.3 GHz quad-core processor --is priced at about 1.08 million won ($1,000), Samsung said.

"The display (of Galaxy Round) is ergonomically shaped to fit the curve of a hand and comfortably embrace an ear and cheek during a phone conversation," SK Telecom, the country's top wireless operator, said in a statement.
The new phone allows users to check information such as missed calls, text messages, remaining battery life and the current time and date more easily when the screen is locked.

When listening to music, users can switch between songs on a playlist by placing the phone on a flat surface and pressing down on the left or right side to tilt the device, which automatically detects the movement.
The curved screen is made of plastic, instead of the glass that is commonly used in smartphones, and as a result the handset is slightly lighter.

Samsung said the phone weighs 154 grams (0.33 pounds), 10 percent less than the firm's similar-sized Galaxy Note III oversized smartphone.
"This certainly is not a ground-breaking, game-changing product," one tech blogger said in a review.
"But it fits quite nicely in my hand... and the images look slightly deeper when seen on a curved screen," he said.
The latest device arrived as global smartphone makers vie for growth in the increasingly competitive market.

Samsung -- the world's top maker of smartphones and mobile phones in general -- in January unveiled the prototype of a bendable display called "Youm".
Samsung's smaller rival LG said last week it had started mass production of curved display panels for smartphones and is reportedly set to unveil its own curved smartphone this month.
But companies still face a major challenge in making other handset components -- such as batteries -- that can bend with the rest of the unit.
Curved displays are already commercially available in large-screen televisions offered by companies including Samsung and LG.
The displays are supposed to offer a more immersive viewing experience but are significantly more expensive than standard screens.

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince,

 She happily sits upon her rocking chair,
 Watching the world go by from her front porch, With a cat named Bob for companionship.

 

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, Appeared the fairy godmother.

 

Cinderella said, "Fairy Godmother, What are you doing here after all these years?

 

The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, You have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?" 

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, And after some thoughtful consideration, She uttered her first wish: "The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disability checks, And I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension." 

Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold.


Cinderella said,
"Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother" 

The fairy godmother replied, "It is the least that I can do. What do you want for your second wish?" Cinderella looked down at her frail body, And said, "I wish I were young and full of the 
Beauty and youth I once had." 



At once, her wish became reality, And her beautiful young visage returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her 
That had been dormant for years. 


And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: "You have one more wish; What shall it be?" 

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat 
In the corner and says: "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, Into a kind, and handsome, young man." 


Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental 
A change in his biological make-up, That when he stood before her, 
He was a man so beautiful, The likes of him neither she, 
Nor the world, had ever seen.


The fairy godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, Enjoy your new life." 

And with a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, 
The fairy godmother was gone As suddenly as she appeared.


For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella Looked into each other's eyes.

Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, Stunningly perfect man, she had ever seen.

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, 
Who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, & held her close in his young muscular arms.

 

 

He leaned in close, 
blowing her golden hair with his warm breath, 
as he whispered ...

 

“AREN’T YOU SORRY, YOU HAD ME NEUTERED?”
