Q1 What are some traditional Russian jokes translated into English?
KR 1 That is the Parkinson’s law; water unto the level of the
vessel one can understand. I don’t know whether Ivan laughed as it is not
said. And even to day I saw an email when some bird flew in the sky the
other one interjected and said wow, I missed it as that party veteran said;
and it was a good joke.
2 I think it was Pfizer interview in 1966 -67. For 2 posts
of Med rep the crowd was more than 500 assembled without space standing
even outside. After 2 hrs, some personnel came; people outside cannot even
hear; is they fixed a mike too; and then we heard: 1 all those not
wearing ties may leave pl. 2 All arts graduates may leave pl 3 all the post
graduates may leave 4 all were born after 1945 alone may stay; 5 all
wearing blue shirts may leave; 6 all who have no experience may leave.
Finally, we were just a dozen. Two others were selected as I am destined to
become different.
Q2 What trivial knowledge might save your life one day?
KR All are perfect but I don’t know why it is a trivial knowledge? As
a matter of fact, when both eyes do not behave in sync, it is brain
problem. And where the sync of rouges do not get in understanding the
righteousness out of scorch, there one of them must be at the wits’ end.
Q3 What are some cool or unknown facts about Sweden?
KR Again and again? Come out of SCANDINAVIA.
Q5 Certain Animals can never be tamed? And why?
KR Most probably if you turn up your pages around 6 months you will
see them.

Q1 What are some traditional Russian jokes translated into English?
A1 Len Freedman,8h
A butcher shop puts up a big sign in the window “Tomorrow We Will Have
Meat!” So by 7:00 AM there’s a long line out the front door. The line moves
slowly.
At 10:30, a party member comes out on the platform and announces “Sorry,
there is not enough meat. All Jews will leave line.” So about 1/5 of the
people in line leave, grumbling.
At 1:00, the party member comes out again. “Sorry, there is not enough
meat. All non Party members will leave line. So now maybe 75% of the line
dissolves, people leaving, mad as hell, grumbling.
At 5:00, the party member comes out again. “Sorry, there is still not
enough meat. Everyone will leave line except veterans of the Great
Patriotic War.” (That’s what they call WWII). More people leave, and now
the line is only a few dozen ancient grizzled bearded veterans.
At 7:00 PM, the party member comes out one last time. “Sorry, meat is all
gone.”
One of the ancient vets turns to the other and he says: “You see, Ivan,
it’s like I told you. Jews get best of everything!

Q3 What are some cool or unknown facts about Sweden?
A3 Kevin Mitnick, MSc in Computer Science & Information Technology,
University of California, Berkeley (Graduated 2003)Feb 10
Sweden has been an autonomous country for the beyond a long time (beginning
around 1523).
Sweden figured out how to remain autonomous and avoid battle during WWII
while all the neighbor nations were gone after. Norway and Denmark were
involved by the Germans and Finland was gone after by the Soviet
Association.
Since 1815, Sweden has enjoyed peace for 202 years.
"Opportunity to wander" (Allemansrätten). Everybody has the option to work
out, pick berries, camp and climb on both public and confidential land.
Sweden is huge yet inadequately populated. Sweden represents 10% of the
European Association's expanse of land, yet just around 1.8% of the
populace.
Swedes consume a ton of dairy items and there are much changed sorts to
browse. Generally Swedes have consumed such a lot of dairy items during the
time that a great many people have qualities that permit us to consume
dairy items as grown-ups (95% versus 10% in a few African and Asian
nations).
College/school is free. To assist with covering everyday costs all
understudies reserve the privilege to an understudy award and a reasonable
credit.
Both parents are entitled to one and a half years of parental leave.Five
weeks of paid excursion each year.
Offspring of any age reserve the privilege to unreservedly pick which
school to go to.
Many secondary schools give workstations to the understudies.
A few schools are exclusive however freely supported (friskolor). This
joined with the option to uninhibitedly pick what school to go to makes
contest among schools and expands the nature of training.
Sweden can keep an elevated requirement of living and asset the government
assistance programs with no assistance of oil (hi Norway) while keeping a
low spending plan shortage at just 0.5% of Gross domestic product.
Q5 Certain Animals can never be tamed? And why?
A5 Jai Narayan,17h
1.The zebra is one of the most surprising animals we have never tamed. In
fact, in a sense, it's quite surprising. After all, horses and donkeys have
been tamed by humans for years, and zebras seem to look a lot like
them. However,
no matter how much effort we make, we can't tame these animals. This is
because zebra behavior is less predictable, they are likely to attack
people, and they do not perform well under stress.
2.Although humans have been using elephants for about 3,000 years, contrary
to popular belief, elephants can never be domesticated. The fact that an
animal is kept in captivity does not make it domesticated; they have never
been tamed in the way that dogs have been. Elephants will always try to
escape, and they have even been held in captivity for 12 generations in
order to bring them closer to domestication, but have never really
succeeded.
3.Rhinos are huge, and despite being herbivores, they have a fierce
temperament and never back down in a fight. This temperament means that
rhinos are almost impossible to tame, not to mention domesticate. They are
simply unwilling to accept humans as their masters, and if someone gets too
close, they may hurt or even kill them. On the other hand, it takes 12
years for them to reach sexual maturity, which adds even more difficulty to
breeding and reproduction.
4.Tigers are not house cats. No matter how many people have tried to tame
tigers, they have never really succeeded. Even those who grew up with
tigers can't tame them well. No matter how you look at it, tigers are big
and scary animals that can easily deliver a fatal blow to humans,
especially when they are hungry.
5.Pandas seem to be the best animals to domesticate. They are big, but they
look super cute. But people have not yet found a way to domesticate pandas.
One of the reasons is because there are not enough of them left, there are
only about 2,000 of them in the world. You need to have a lot of bamboo to
domesticate pandas, they are extremely picky about their food, and pandas
can be very troublesome to breed. Of course, as mentioned earlier, this is
all impossible to do for modern people because they are protected animals
and there are so few of them.
