A1 Håkan Eklund,18h Bill Clinton andthe Pope dies the same day but by some reason the Pope ends up in Hell. Hecomplains to the staff and they look in his papers and says “Yes, you’reabsolutely right, there have been a mix up. But you have to wait 24 hours herebut don’t worry, no fires or other nasty thing, you get a room to wait in.” ThePope is satisfied and waits in his room. 24 hours later heis taken to two escalators, one going up and one coming down. He gets on theone going up. After a while he sees that it is Bill Clinton coming down. Whatdo you say to a man you have condemed to etarnity in Hell? When the Pope is intalking range he says to Clinton “You must excuse me but the reason I became apriest and eventally the Pope was that I wanted to meet Virgin Mary.” Clintonthen calmly replies “Well then, my friend, you are 24 hours to late.” Q2 Doyou know a joke about the pope? A2 John,8mo The Pope received apriest from a poor parish in Appalachia. On the Pope’s desk was a white phone,next to the regular office phone. The priest asked about it. His Holinessexplained, “This is my direct line to God.” Judging from the look of disbeliefon the priest’s face, the Pope picked up the handset, put it to his ear, andasked if God would mind talking to the priest. Then he handed the set to thepriest, who nervously thanked God for the conversation. After a few moments, hereturned the handset to the Pope, who chatted a friendly “good bye” to theAlmighty, and hung up the phone. The priest lookedat his watch, and realizing he had over-stayed his allotted time, stood to takeleave. “Wait a moment,” said the Pope. Please leavesomething to help pay for the call to God. Heaven is far away, you know…”. Thepriest dug into his pocket for a few lira, and handed them over to the Popewith apologies for the small sum —all he could afford. The Pope smiled, thepriest backed out of the Pope’s office. A year passed, andthe Pope was touring his parishes in the poorer parts of America, including theback waters of Appalachia. Remembering the visit from the poor priest a yearprior, he decided to say Mass at the small church, located near the top of amountain. The congregation was comprised mostly of poor farmers and unemployedminers barely able to eek out a living. Still, they were generous with whatlittle they had and managed to put together a sumptuous luncheon when the Popearrived. And the church itself had a commanding view of the surroundingmountains and valleys, and a stretch of the famed New River below. After Mass, theHoly Father entered the priest’s tattered little office, where a crudely carvedplaque over the door said “Almost Heaven.” There, he noticed a white phonesimilar to his own, at the edge of the priests desk. He pointed to it, andraised an eye brow in question. “Yes,” said the priest. “My direct line toGod.” “Impossible!” laughed the Pope. “Only I havesuch a thing.” The priest pointed to the phone and said, “Try it.” And it quicklybecame evident that, indeed, God was on the line, and was admonishing HisHoliness for his arrogance. The Pope apologized and was forgiven,telephonically. He hung up, looked at the priest and apologized. “I know,” saidthe Pope, “How expensive those calls are and I know you live here in poverty.Whatever the call costs, I will pay ten times the amount as penance for myarrogance!” The priest smiled.“No need, your Holiness; the call cost nothing.” “How can that be?”gasped the Pope. Again, the priestsmiled. “Local call.” Q3 Whatis a very big problem that Indians are not taking seriously? A3 Ravi, Exploring Life Fri Entering in Room. Me : Nani can youdecrease AC temperature?

A4 Utkarsh, Lives in India(2005–present)4y This is perhaps thegreatest irony of historical coincidences. Orville Wright one of the 2 brotherswho invented the aeroplane was still alive to witness his invention used forthe destruction the carnage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings of 1945. Wilburpassed away in 1912 but his brother lived long enough to witness both worldwars. Orville died threeyears later in 1948. He said in an interview: “We dared to hope we had inventedsomething that would bring lasting peace to the earth. But we were wrong.. No,I don’t have any regrets about my part in the invention of the aeroplane,though no one could deplore more than I do the destruction it has caused. Ifeel about the aeroplane much the same as I do in regard to fire. That is, Iregret all the terrible damage caused by fire but I think it is good for thehuman race that someone discovered how to start fires and that we have learnedhow to put fire to thousands of important uses.” Profile photo for TahshinRose Q5 Whatare some of the most mind-blowing facts?
