Random Babble: Bore


The word 'Bore' has a lot of connotations. All connotations can be found in a dictionary. So why am I doing it here? Because I can and I am plain bored.

  1. Bore: To be a bore. Someone who has the ability to spread boredom. This should not be mistaken for a superpower. It is more common than you can imagine.
    Illustration: The author finds some of his posts a bore.

  2. Bore: Bore is used to define the diameter of a tube or tunnel or anything circular. Its associated more to a hole. Gun barrels also are identified using the bore. No Calibre is different, this is more related to the barrel.
    Illustration: The bore of the barrel of the gun pointed at your face is directly related to your ability to hold your bladder.

  3. Bore: Bore is also a sort of digging term related to the process of digging into something. It perhaps obvious since Bore seems to like tunnels and holes. Its only natural to associate itself to the process of digging too.
    Illustration: The termite bore holes in my books which was fine with me as they were my study books and not my Playboy collection.

  4. Bore: Bore is one of the wordeas (sort of district) of Ethopia. Bore must be a hole on earth by the sound of it.
    Illustration: Look for a black hole in Ethopia.

    Bore is also used with other words to express other Boring connotations.

  5. Bore dom: Its what a Bore brings in.
    Illustration: Look at what Boredom does to you. Makes me write a post on boredom and makes you read on one.

  6. Tidal Bore: A very high wave caused by a tidal flow. This is more because of tidal waves colliding with each other. Sometimes if a person is a Colossal Bore then he or she can be termed a Tidal Bore.
    Illustration: What better than an Image

  7. Bore Upon: The phrase bore upon means "have an effect upon". It means to take be impacted or effected due to some event, action or whatever.
    Illustration: The need for sending me to the asylum bore upon my parents after seeing me dance naked in the fountain in the middle of Central Park and then peeing on dogs, standing on one leg.

P hoto courtesy: The SUN UK (all credits and copyrights to this image is sole property of SUN UK and the rightful owner. The author takes no credit for the same.) A xe is known for making great ads. The theme of all ads tend to revolve around the guy using Axe Deo and the girls finding him irresistible. In the same spirit, Axe came up with a new ad which has stirred some controversy especially in India. Read the news article here Now lets take a good at the ad.

Global Warming and number 13

So how is the number 13 related to Global Warming ? I found some very interesting connections which I say is nothing but coincidence! Try a small search on Global Warming long with the number 13 (global warming + 13) and you will notice that most publications, press releases, and news articles were released on the 13th of any month . Many books were launched on the same date. Summits and conferences were arranged on the 13th . Also interestingly, a public forum was held at the Australian National University in Canberra on 13 July 2007 . Scientists from the Australian National University, Stanford University, USA, and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies gathered here to debunk the skeptics of the Global Warming theory. There are a few more amazing coincidences : 13% of Americans have not heard about Global Warming according to an AC Nielsen report In 2007, ahead of the G8 Summit, thirteen science academies (also signatories) issued a declaration affirming the existence of...

Evolutionary Minuses!

A recent article in the Times of India , suggested that the 'Wisdom' teeth is on its way to extinction. No, not extraction...but extinction. The evolution of humans has made jaws smaller as compared to the apish longer jaws of our ancestors. This has resulted in over-crowding of our mouth. Therefore, the wisdom teeth is finding lesser and lesser space to fit it. The recent patterns suggest that wisdom tooth is on its way to be extinct like many of our other vestigial organs. It is as if evolution is sending a message...stop exploding your population or humans will be extracted too. Its interesting how evolution has been slowly erasing the different body parts that seems redundant. Humans and animals are experiencing this incredible power of evolution and slowly the species is driven towards the most adaptable form that is the need of the moment. I wonder if this phenomenon will slowly make a number of organs extinct as we know it. The beard or facial hair (also body hair), i...
