I’d spent some quality time in New Zealand. It is a great country especially for those who love nature. I’ve taken a lot of photos which I’ll share with you in my photoblog. Here are the first set of pictures. click on the pictures to go to my photoblog and watch them in actual size. I’ll also try to write some of my experience during the trip soon.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights. All over the world people are celebrating this day. This video is made by Amnesty International UK with the message “You are powerful on protect the human”.

Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.
While discussing a hunting trip together by a helicopter, the comedian said:

“I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun,”

Even after this exaggerated comment Sarah Palin didn’t recognized that this cannot be the french president until he introduced himself!
After telling the governer about the prank he finished by saying this sentence:

If one voice can change the world for Obama, a Viagra can change the world for McCain!

Listen to this hilarious prank call here.

A few days ago a friend of mine send me an article by an American University professor Jonathan I. Katz with the title “Don’t become a Scientist!”. It is very interesting point of view.
In the last few days I have been thinking a lot about this article. Of course for me is rather late now as I have done my PhD and am doing a Post Doc but maybe it is not too late. Well I’m still leaving all options open and see what is coming next…
Talking about scientists and grad students many of you might have been wondering if the economy crisis will have an effect on grad students or not. Here is the ultimate answer by PhD comics:

Also watch VP’s Troopers & Practical Jokes. “Sarah Palin would love nothing more than to superficially answer all of our shouted questions, but she doesn’t have time.”

I haven’t been updating here often lately which partly is because of the busy month I had.

I’m sure you’ve already heard about the documentary movie from Bill Maher “Religulous” which I guess is going to be a really good movie (click here to watch the trailer). I saw the interview that John Stewart did with Bill Maher on the daily show, I thought I have to share it here (First part of the interview, second part).
