An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bankbecause, she said , she had a lot of money.
After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is alwaysright) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.
The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied,"$165,000".
The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money.
The elderly woman replied that she made bets.
The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square."
The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that.
The woman never batted an eye.
She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
"Certainly", replied the president.
"I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square."
"Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness."
"No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about the betand spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that , checking them overagain and again until he was positive that no one couldconsider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly womanarrived at the president's office with her lawyer andacknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that thepresident's testicles were square.
The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the onemade the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
The president was happy to oblige.
The elderly woman came closer so she could see better andasked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure."
The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly thepresident noticed that the lawyer was banging his head againstthe wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding theballs of the President of the Bank of Canada !"

Beware of Chain Letters Scam
Chain letters are illegal.
Chain letters are a waste of time.
Net sites which do not discourage electronic chain letters risk losing their net connections, as they have the potential for wasting great amounts of bandwidth and disk space.
What are chain letters?
Chain letters are letters which promise a phenomenal return on a small effort. The simplest form of a chain letter contains a list of x people. You are supposed to send something to the top person on the list. Then you remove the top person on the list, sliding the second person into the top position, add yourself in the bottom position, make y copies of the letter, and mail them to your friends. The promise is that you will eventually receive y**x somethings in return.
Why do people think chain letters could work?
The reason people are even tempted by these schemes is that the human mind does not have an intuitive view of geometrical progressions. Suppose we presume the chain letter to have a list of five people. You are asked to send one postcard to the person on top of the list, and remail the letter to five friends. You are promised thousands of postcards from all over the world if everyone participates. Your cost: a postcard, five photocopies and envelopes, and six stamps. Not much to risk to see what comes back...
Why can't chain letters work?
Now let's assume that everyone on the list is honest and just perpetuating the "chain." (After all, these letters do emhpasize being HONEST.) Then if everyone on the list has made five copies, you are one of 5**5 or 3,125 people receiving copies in your "generation" of the letter. So far, the numbers don't seem outlandish. And looking the other way, you stand to get postcards from 3125 people. That doesn't seem impossible either. But view it as the "chain" you're in the middle of, and there will be 5**11 or 48,828,125 people receiving copies in that generation of the letter. If distribution were confined to the United States, there wouldn't be enough people left who hadn't already received a copy for the next generation.
A brief analysis of the Dave Rhodes chain letterThe Dave Rhodes chain letter is a famous example of electronic chain letter which has appeared several times on the Internet. It has a list of 10 people and suggests you forward the letter to to bulletin boards (not people)! A twist with this letter is that you start to receive money when you get to position 5 on the list. Just assume for this analysis that only the person who posted the message you read was honest (that is, just making copies and passing it along - not in on the beginning). Let's see how the generations go until you could see some results: Copies in Your
generation postion

1,000 9
10,000 8
100,000 7
1,000,000 6
10,000,000 5
So by the time you could get any money out of this, the message would have appeared on over 11 milion bulletin boards! Do you think there are that many? Even if we were only talking people, that would be a healthy number. There aren't enough people in the US (let alone bulletin boards) to maintain two more generations.

Malaysia's warning on cars with tinted glass
Vehicles from Sinpore & Thailand with heavily tinted windscreens & windows will be turned back at Malaysia's border checkpoints when an amendment to a road Act is endorsed soon.
Road Transport Department enforcement director Salim Parlan said the cars would not be allowed if they failed a test at the border.
"Only vehicles with at least 70% level of light penetration in the front & 50% on the rear windscreen & side windows will be allowed," he said, but did not indicate when the new law will take effect.
There was a contraversy in April after several Singapore cars with dark tinted windows were given tickets in Malaysia.The problem boils down to different rules in the two countries on tint levels.
Singapore's Land Transport Authority requires 70% of light to be in through the window screen & side windows in front & 25% of the light for the rear windscreen & windows.
