for your paper? Take a look at this fascinating paper title generator. It is amazing how easy it is to produce a well sounding title which no one understands and due to this will never ask you about the meaning of it... cause this will only state one's asininity.

Мир как деревня в сто жителей
- 60 азиатов

- 82 не белыми
- 89 гетеросексуальными
- 51 мужчинами
- 18 белыми
- 11 гомосексуальными
БЛАГОСОСТОЯНИЕ
- 5 человек будут владеть 32% всего мирового богатства, и все они будут из США
- у 80 не будет достаточных жилищных условий
- 25 человек будут жить на 1 доллар в день
(а 50 человек - на 2 доллара в день) - 50 будут недоедать, а 1 будет умирать от голода
УДОБСТВО, ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ, ЗДОРОВЬЕ

УГРОЗЫ
- Если сегодня с УТРА ТЫ проснулся здоровым, ты счастливее, чем 1 миллион человек, которые не доживут до следующей недели
- Если ты никогда не переживал войну,одиночество тюремного заключения, агонию пыток или голод,
ты счастливее, чем 500 миллионов человек в этом мире.
- Если в твоем холодильнике есть еда, ты одет и обут,
- у тебя есть крыша над головой и постель,
ты богаче, чем 75% людей в этом мире.
КОШЕЛЕК
- Если у тебя есть счет в банке,
- деньги в кошельке
- и немного мелочи в копилке,
ты принадлежишь к 8% обеспеченных людей в этом мире.
ВЫВОД
Если ты читаешь этот текст, ты благословлен втройне, потому что:- кто-то подумал о тебе;
- ты не принадлежишь к тем 2 миллиардам людей, которые не умеют читать и...
- у тебя был компьютер!

Lecturers with PhDs 'overqualified' for job
"New entrants' research expertise could be redundant as they are pushed into teaching-only posts. John Gill reports.
The PhD - seen as a foundation for an academic career - is becoming redundant for many lecturers as they are increasingly sidelined into teaching-only roles.
The claim is made in a research paper presented to the Society for Research into Higher Education annual conference this week, which links the increased selectivity of the research assessment exercise with a rise in the number of teaching-only contracts."

Luckily some of these companies, whose recruitment process can't be imagined without interviews (as it is their daily bread), have some examples of their torturing techniques on-line. Here one can admire some HowTo videos from McKinsey on your forthcoming process.
Prepare well and be cool... tip from my side.

For the lovers of cheesy stuff
If you cracking up on funny remakes than you should get this name in the back of your mind - Weird Al' Yankovic. This guy is absolutely the reincarnation of cheesiness. Check out his Gangster's Paradise music video.
Acquired a taste for it... good... got to time waster tool YouTube and we will find tuns and tuns of it. Here you can find even more of Yankovic.
Just before I finished typing my colleague sent me something which I just can't abstain the world. Take a look at this...
should have been the collage of the worst out-takes or so.
Enjoy it!

Woman, an adorable being
I am not entirely sure whether I need to give my comments on this. But a question with respect to low numbers of women in technical jobs sound a bit odd in this context.
Never intended to offend any female being on earth - without them life wouldn't be what it is ;-)

Want to waste your time...
I've got a perfect tip for you in that case. First you can try it with Facebook. Ah, sweet Facebook, how you fill my working hours so delightfully... My Pacman scores are now nothing short of phenomenal. I've super-poked everyone that can be super-poked. Taken all kinds of quizzes and tests and puzzles. Found friends I've not seen in 15 years. Improved that Pacman record a little... ...oh wow!...it's 5 o'clock...time to go home! (a day routine of a friend of mine)
But now you have to forget about Facebook or other alternatives. Nothing can outperform YouTube. Just watch this (it is in German)
Viral video is something which belongs to the past. YouTube is a new alternative for an elaborate way to waste your time... and I can sing a song about it since it comes from the horse's mouth.
