Some funny quotes...

I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets - Dave Edison

The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with - Marty Feldman

Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash - Jerry Seinfeld

If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number? - Robin Williams

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you - Rita Mae Brown

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want - an adorable pancreas? - Jean Kerr

Where there's a will... I want to be in it - Anonymous

Machu Picchu among the new 7 wonders!!

After eons, sorry, years :-) of forwarded emails from my Indian friends to vote for Taj Mahal and the Meenakshi Amman Temple in India to be in the list of the new 7 wonders, I see the final winners!



One of my favorite places that I have been wanting to go (hike), for the last 4 years is present there - Machu Picchu!! It might not be like a architectural beauty like Taj Mahal, but to me, the mystery of seeing those ruins and trying to go back in time in my imagination to see how once life could have been here in Machu Picchu is not matched by any of the other new seven wonders...

Shrek 4 and Shrek 5 ?

yep, Shrek 4 is being planned for 2010 and Shrek 5 for 2013 (not yet in imdb!!) and the imdb ratings don't look so friendly to this idea :-)

Shrek : 8.0 (108 K votes)
Shrek 2 : 7.7 (55K votes)
Shrek the Third : 6.5 (15 K votes as of July 7, 2007)

but Shrek the Third is not all that bad! i found it less humorous than 1 and 2 but still it is better than many other "fun" movies definitely!!

I really was amused by the way they have brought in King Arthur into Shrek Land and have also showed Lancelot without much reason for this movie... I have a strong feeling that they are going to have some focus in Shrek 4 :-)

and if you thought "Worcestershire" had a weird pronunciation, and here is a list you can try :

Mainwaring
Cholmondesley
Launceston
Featherstonehaugh
Beauchamp
Dalziel
Gloucester
Menzies
Woolfhardisworthy

just 1 clue : Cholmondesley is "Chumlee" :-) now you can guess the right pronunciations for the others right ? :-) and all these seem to be real place names ? answers here...

and if thats not enough, here is some village name in wales ?

llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch


and here are some funny quotes from imdb...

=====================================

Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! Where is Shrek?
Pinocchio: Well, uh, I don't know where he's not.
Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: Well, it wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that there he's is almost partially incorrect.
Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!
Pinocchio: Oh, on the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that I undeniably...
Prince Charming: Stop it!
Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be. If that indeed wasn't where he isn't!

=====================================
Donkey: [Donkey and Puss in Boots have switched bodies] I've been abra-cadabra'd into a Fancy Feasting second-rate sidekick! And you really need some pants!
Shrek: Donkey...
Donkey: I feel all exposed and nasty!

========================================

Puss in Boots: [Puss says to Shrek as the ship leaves] Well my friend, you are royally...
[loud horn blast]

========================================

Artie: The only person stopping you... is YOU!
[points accusingly]
Gnome: [terrified] ME?
Guard: GET HIM LADS!

-- found this very funny while watching the movie! ---
