NASA / Russia

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they discovered that pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 million developing the ball point pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300C.
When confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil.
Lesson : Think out of box.

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Bubba:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad
A few days later, he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad:
For heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up that garden. That’s where I buried the BODIES.
Love, Bubba
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad:
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Bubba
It works that way…

I was checking the stats for the oil imports and export countries and came to know that USA is the largest importer of oil in the world and Iran, Iraq, Libya are among top exporters for oil. Even Iran, Iraq and Libya are among the countries having top reserves for oil (they are among 5th , 4th and 10th position in the world respectively).
On top of that Oil reserves in Libya are highest in Africa. Oil Reserves in Iran, according to its government is third largest in the world. Oil reserves in the Iraq will be the largest in the world if we calculate recent seismic data.
So it’s no need to write anything more because we can easily think what is going on in the world and for what.
