On a lighter note...

Statutory warning : If you are not South Indian or have no experience of things South Indian, it might be pointless reading further.

Extra Statutory warning : If you are a Mallu with the pride of Kerala in your loins but no sense of humour to go with it, DON'T read any further.

You stand warned.

Makes me think of a joke about how American Indian's mother give names to their children. :)

Ooh, I wanna hear it!

Young Brave ask his Father, "how do we get our names?"

"Well, at the moment of birth, a mother will name the child by the first site she sees in nature. Like, Running Buffalo, or Soaring Eagle. But Two Dogs Fucking, why do you ask?"

I think I actually got the Pokemon part of the joke, heheh. I'm usually pretty good about understanding ethnic jokes, but this one was admittedly a bit too in depth for me (it is probably because I am the least South Indian person I know, lol). Start making jokes about Eastern Europeans and I'll be on the floor laughing in no time!

Actually, now that I mention it, here is a good joke about Polish people: How is "Polish" spelled in the dictionary? P-O-L-I-S-H. How is "polish" (as in 'nail polish') spelled in the dictionary? P-O-L-I-S-H. See? Even Webster's can't tell the difference between shit and shineola!

That joke was popular back when it was fashionable to make fun of the Polish. Then they threw off the communist rule that had gripped their country for decades and people started to respect them. Now it isn't as funny to tell jokes about Pollocks. Oh well. There will always be blondes!

Lol, we have our own version of the blondes in India. Those Sikh people you see with colored turbans and large beards - them. We love making fun of them.. because they let us :D

I've known so many girls named 'Pretty.' It gives me a complex. :p

Geez.. those were their real names? They must've been smacked to death by the girls who had less 'cooler' names.

Lol, yeah, I was like, 'Woah!! This Wikipedia thing really is vast!'

I owe a guy from Kerala about 1000 US Dollars. I haven't heard from him in over a year now though, so he isn't getting it any time soon :P

His father owns most of the hospitals in Kerala so I understand so I doubt he needs the money :) (anyone heard of the Korambayil Family / Korambayil Medical Services?)

*shrugs*

*covers mouth and gasps*
All the hospitals in Kerala?! Rich bazturd! Never heard of that family, though.
