 Listen to News: Meteor Explodes Over Russia ~ 19 February 2013

 Discussion Question: Scientists believe that this type of event happens about once every 100 years. Does a rare ocurrence like this justify the building of early warning systems from space?

 Any way of preventing major damages to us is always welcome in advance, mainly when it comes to the catastrophic results of big asteroids over the Earth's surface seen  in the example of the one that crossed the Russian sky in February this year

ANOTHER BLOG POST ABOUT PUNS!

This picture is about puns, and it also reminds me how usually goes a conversation in the EC Chat hehe
Sigmund Freud claimed puns were an admission of weakness, a psychic release-valve in which humour alleviates the stress of repressing unpleasant truths... Screw him! I just think they're really funny! :D

Can you guess the actual words for these puns?

Dear Captain,

Something must have happend to Ling, and I am so worried about her yet I can't do anything since the gerocomium I am staying and working for is far away from her right now.

This morning she called me and told me lots of things. Through the phone, I could feel her gloomy mood. She kept telling and I was listening. Hmmm, it seemed she had a serious quarrel with her hubby this time. But she didn't tell me the reason. Alas! She is not a complaining person. I wonder what had happened.

CAR-LIFTER

The police have arrested a notorious car-lifter in New Delhi.When you read Indian newspapers you will see such words as car-lifter. This word was coined by some journalist, I think, on parallel with shop-lifter to mean a car thief. Shop-lifter is a real English word which means a person who steals goods from a shop during shopping hours.  But a person who steals cars is called a car thief in Britain. In English dictionaries you will not see the word car-lifter. It its used only in India.Indians

Shall used for asking permission.

The other day it was brought up in EC chat that shall is used in asking permission. At that moment I thought about it for a minute and said I didn't think shall was ever used in a question for permission. This lead me to look into it further and I found my thinking was correct. I could find no examples of shall being used in this way. So where did they get this idea from? It was from the construction such as: Shall I open a window?.
At first glance I can see how this is taken as asking someone f

Why do i love him?

I have so many talented idol-singers, which i end up listen to their songs almost everday repeatedly. For me to listen a song is not so much needed to be specifically expert on something, for example understanding lyrics and such things, but it's simply trying to listen to its song and i don't know why i feel so excited suddenly with the tone, lyrics , voice ,etc if i know and like the singer. I believe that every person has different idol-singers that he/she fonds of. But some of you have the u

Dear Captain,

My summer holiday has terminated and now I am back to school again. It's so nice to see my roommates. This term we'll take an internship.

Fay came to visit me with her son who could walk and talk now. Hehehe, I am happy that little kid likes me. You know, I enjoy kids' love to me as I also love them so much. We three took a walk on my campus in the afternoon. It was a beautiful afternoon. When they left, the little kid gave me a few flying kisses! I was so surprised and delightful. F

Before I have to move away, I went to visit some good friends. Jingjing begged me to visit her after I leave her as often as I can, and I promised her I would.

The frog insisted that the sky was as big as the mouth of the well while the bird said it was much larger than the well mouth. The frog told
