Great Thoughts

Posted by maneesh On September - 25 - 2010

1) I ALWAYS wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific...

2)HAVE you ever noticed ? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.

3)YOU have to stay in shape. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She`s 97 today and we don't know where she is.

4)THE reason most people play golf is to wear clothes they would not be caught dead in otherwise.

5)THE statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Indians is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they are okay, then it's you.

6) I ASK people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my Girlfriend is attractive, but I only have photographs of her.

All the three parts of Ice age are awesome and they will make you laugh. My favorite character is Sid, a sloth. The theme of the movie is licensed to chill :) can you believe this. There's nice drama too. In every part a squirrel is responsible for breaking the ice. That squirrel is quite a mischievous one. In part 3 they showed dinosaurs and all and it was even more funny. Part 3 had a new interesting character called Buck. Fun to watch.

All the three movies are good adventure movies. In Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones, the adventurer goes to Egypt for finding an ark. In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he goes to China and India where the villain is Amrish Puri. In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana goes to Venice to find his father. They both then lookout for the Holy Grail.
