9/14, quote on elections, because shosh had to put up that thoughtful writeup on mediocrity and elitism:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." — H. L. Mencken

I don't think Shiva would drive the Nano, but maybe when Buddha returns he'll get one.

Default Without bothering...

Without bothering to read the linked article, I'd like to point out that Shiva/Vishnu looks like a chick.

Devi on the other hand, I'd nail that with a quickness. I wonder what it'd be like to be with a broad with two sets of arms? Anyone experienced that?

That's laughable. They'll move the operations to India, that's why Tata wants to buy it. The move will happen anyway, even if a deal is struck. It just won't happen immediately, or all at once.

The only way the unions and the pension funds could keep the brand in Britain would be to prevent any work done on the brand from happening in India when the companies are sold by preventing Tata from divesting any of the plant assets as part of the sale contract.

By not being able to sell the plants, Tata would be forced to keep the plants open... an agreement I don't think they'll accept.

Shiva has both make and female aspects. Sometimes Shiva is very male and sometimes more female. Much like Jesus in China or Japan looks more Asian.

That guy's going to be a massive success.

Having never been to India, I hear it's pretty hot, and that little machine has no air conditioning. I hope people survive their trip to the market.

Meanwhile:

I find the American news hilarious, at times. They reported on ABC about this and the growing advancement in China with a certain amount of hysteria, as if these new drivers will be using all of OUR gas!

I hope they do.

I'm sure that the masses find comfort in a sweeter more relaxed rather than a weather beaten Clint Eastwood type of thing. Life's tough enough for a lot of folks.

I must say that I find these painting both fantastic, detailed, and relaxing to look at. That must say something about the desires of the average Indian.

I can see someone taking on Asian characteristics, but straddling the line between male and female, that's what ruins the City Paper Classified Ads.

Those ads keep that paper going.

I think every man starts life as female.

If you were awake during high school biology, you'd know that's actually... true!

It's the proteins synthesized out of the X chromosome that change the baby into a male inside the uterus. Without that process occurring, the normal course of gestation produces a female.
