Poor Man's Station-Wagon

Rural India had a $1000 6-seater long before the $2000 Tata Nano arrived.


I think there is tremendous business potential for a stretched version of the normal two-wheeler which can accommodate more than two.

Hold your hands up high Jack



Once some captors took some passengers in a vehicle hostage. Now as we all know, Jack is a very common name in the English language. The captors shouted: "Hold your hands up high Jack" (using Jack as a placeholder for a man's name). A newspaper reporting this incident referred to them as "The highJackers". The name stuck, and was later shortened from 'highjacker' to 'hijacker', and the act itself became known as 'hijack'.

When I was in school, a friend (who now conducts quizzes at the national level) told me this convincing piece of logic.

Gullible as I was, and as specious the explanation was, I took it to be true. Until about 2 minutes ago, when I decided to verify the veracity of the fact on the internet. Apparently this is wrong.

The correct order of evolution is:

Jack -> Jacker -> Highway Jacker -> High jacker -> Hijack.

Jack = device for holding a vehicle up for repair.
Jacker = holdup man who uses a jack to hold a vehicle up (for repair or otherwise)
Highway Jacker (= = A bootelgger who holds a vehicle in transit on the highway

Explore young kid. Go out and see the world.

There is an old Chinese saying which says -
"You learn more by walking a mile than by reading a thousand pages".

I have lost 5 kgs since I heard this proverb.

Footwear companies should use this saying in their advertisemens. Book publishers will be damned for no fault of their own
