Beef Vindaloo

Diners in Britain have slammed a new report that says that Indian takeaway food is fatty and unhealthy. The report, carried out by Which? magazine, called Indian, Chinese and pizza takeaway food grossly unhealthy and unadvisable for daily consumption. It said that one Indian or Chinese meal had more calories than an average person should consume in an entire day. But what surprised the magazine was that people felt that given a choice between putting on a little eating good food s opposed to staying fit and trim and consume British food, the choice was simple - they’d rather have the fatty food.

It was recently revealed that the David Fisher designed moving skyscraper, to be built in Dubai and Moscow, was also supposed to be built in the Indian city of Bombay. The architect had approached several builders and contractors to carry out the project in India but was turned down by every one of them. According to Fisher, the reason that no builder wanted to attempt something like this in India is that they do not see a market for it. A moving skyscraper would completely go against principles of Vaastu and therefore, the flats in the skyscraper would never sell.

Not that we’re acknowledging either that there is a heaven, but if there was a heaven, in the classical sense, then George Carlin definitely deserves to be there - unlike say, maybe, freedom fighters. The thing about heaven though is that poor George would always have to be wary about what he couldn’t say in front of god. Like ask God when was the last time he got any. I mean, how do you take a guy seriously when the only time he did it was with a woman who swears he didn’t actually, like, touch her, the woman lives with a guy who swears it did happen and is cool with it, and the woman gives birth to a guy who gets his ass whipped by guys in metal skirts.
