Green Zone
Imagine the following scenario:You are at the theatre as the movie progresses and you munch on pop corn while watching it when suddenly the whole theatre becomes silent and you realise that your pop corn munching noise is quite audible? Well I had it recently and wow I must say, it is quite loud. The above has nothing to do with the movie so i'll get on with that. :D
Green zone is this war based movie where Matt Damon plays a Chief warrant officer in search of the famed "WMD's" :P in various intelligence specified locations around Baghdad. Of course nothing turns up at every site that his seniors claim is "Good to go". The movie talks about how certain senior people fabricated evidence of WMD and got the USA to wage war on Iraq. I wonder which part of "No WMD" that the US officials didn't understand, but then, when good ol' Georgie has decided he wants to make Baghdad the trial scene for EA Games Command and conquer, Any information that claims other wise isn't going to stop him I guess.
Anyway, the movie proceeds as Chief Miller(Matt Damon) pursues general Al-Rawi who is the key to this whole episode. As the movie progresses, we see internal conflicts between the Army and CIA, torn Iraqi nationals and basically you get the picture right? The movie ends with the General being killed, and Chief miller writing a report that details everything that he knows and puts it out to the press. In a few words, a nice movie that gives a sad picture which unfortunately is reality. Definitely a must watch!

Can animals be gay?
I know this sounds crazy and stupid, but guess what? I read about this in IHT and it was an article about a biologist and her findings! I mean, seriously, gay animals? Gay people itself a concept that is still hard to digest for many and now you are saying your pet dog could be gay?? :O
Read the article here.
It may sound crazy and wierd, because they refer to the birds as homosexuals and there was one part where the scientist claims to have seen a pair of female birds involved in a threesome! :O . Food for thought :P Interestingly the article notes that scientists have been noticing this behaviour for long but have usually attributed it to some reason or the other. Maybe they were worried about being ridiculed and now that gay people are allowed, gay animals is something they can claim is legal too!
Read the article if your really bored, it can make for a crazy read! :D
