Today Google celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight. The man in the picture is Yuri Gagarin, Russian cosmonaut, who was the first human who went into outer space and completed an orbit of Earth on April 21, 1961.
What I love about the doodle is that its animated. If you place your mouse on it the rocket takes off.

That makes it the perfect dipping bowl. The Obol.
I love these tips because they’re easy to apply and they make sense. My favorite tip is: Ask for help with jobs you dislike! I would also add another tip: Don’t worry
Go ahead try as many tips as you can.
Do you agree with the list? Would you add anything else?
1. Umbrellas:
Why?
There’s a facebook group with 393 people called “Umbrellas Are For The Weak!” that agree with me on this one.
2. Nail Clipper
How it should be:
Why?
3. Parking Ticket Dispenser
If are an entrepreneur heres your chance. Reinvent one of these widely used products.
Anything else you’d like to add to this list?
I’m pretty sure this is how the conversation went:
“Ananas? Everyone calls this fruit ananas? Well, I don’t like the way it sounds lets just call it pineapple.”
ARABIAN?!

Feel free to add any sarcastic comments.
1. Breathing: From the few yoga classes I took I already knew the majority of us breathe incorrectly.
The correct way to breath:
“Try to “inflate” your stomach as you breathe in, while keeping your chest relatively still. Then contract your abdominal muscles on the exhale. Not only will this give you more oxygen per breath, it will eventually strengthen the diaphragm.”
2. Sleeping: Half of Kuwait have become so-called “insomniacs” the past few years so they will be happy to know this.
The correct way to sleep:
“The idea that an uninterrupted eight hours is the only sleep pattern natural to mankind is surprisingly recent. Before someone who wasn’t Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, people in areas with more than eight hours of darkness usually slept in segments: three to five hours of sleep, an hour of wakefulness and then another three to five hour nap.”
This actually goes hand in hand with waking up for Fajir prayer. If you sleep at 12 AM and wake up at 4 AM thats a 4 hour nap. Then you go back to sleep from 4 AM-7AM thats another 3 hour nap. Makes perfect sense.
“Pete says : I know my wife has this “AP Mobile” news app on her phone and receives text message alerts whenever something big is happening around the world, I decided to play a little prank on her.
This morning I changed my name in her contact list to “AP Mobile” and sent her a short and sweet message and waited for her to turn her phone on. Her mouth almost came down to the floor.”
Funny guy! Hilarious prank

This blog is slowly becoming a Google fan site but I couldn’t resist the urge to post about today’s Google doodle.
Today Google celebrates the 119th anniversary of the first documented ice cream sundae.
Excuse me while I order a hot fudge sundae in celebration.
Every year Google goes all out on April fools day. Its great to see that they have such a great sense of humor.
These are my favorite from this years 14 pranks:
“To send a message lick a stamp and place it down”
2. Switching Font: Google Comic Sans or Helvetica and you’ll end up with this:
3. Chromercise: Exercises for your fingers
“A new exercise regimen for your hands and fingers. Some existing finger exercise programs focus on upgrading your digits’ cardiovascular strength and musculature; others focus on dexterity. Chromercise’s unique blend of aerobic motion and rhythmic accompaniment covers all of the above while simultaneously tightening and toning your fingers’ actual appearance.”

Today’s google celebrates Robert Bunsen’s birth anniversary, the German chemist that gave us the (wait for it) Bunsen burner! If you’ve ever used a Bunsen burner in science class you have him to thank.
“A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a common piece of laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame, which is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.”

This is really sad. I think I’m going to cross off “skydiving” from the list of things I want to do before I die.
“Scott Shields, the mayor of Rutledge Borough in the Philadelphia suburbs, died Friday when he failed to pull the cord on his main or reserve parachute while skydiving in South Jersey. By the time the reserve opened on its own, it was too late.”

Its amazing how they managed to make eggs (and cooking) look so exciting. Very well done.
I only recognized 14 out of the 28. How many did you recognize?
Research has shown that women feel old at the age of 29, while men begin to feel old at the age of 58! That’s a difference of 29 years!
“It is thought that this gulf between the sexes is because age perception is so determined by society’s attitude towards youth and beauty.The modern woman may feel ‘past it’ if she doesn’t fit an ideal. Men, who are less defined by their looks, refuse to act their age until nearly 60.
Commenting on the findings, psychologist Professor Cary Cooper from Lancaster University said: ‘In our society the attractiveness of women is quite important. Men don’t have to be good looking but, for some reason, it’s important for women to look presentable.”

A sweet (pun intended) way of discouraging smoking.
I have always wondered why the only cinema in Kuwait is Cinescape. According to Mark:
” Whats special about this cinema is the fact it will be the first non-Cinescape theater in 50 years. Back in 1953 Cinescape got a 50 year exclusivity for cinema’s in Kuwait. That exclusivity expired in 2003.”
Cinescape should have competitors. Competition is always good for us consumers.
Now all we need is a cinema on its own, not in the middle of a shopping mall.

Will we ever see this in Kuwait?
I believe in about ten years we will. Especially with all the traffic we’ve been facing lately. What do you think?

I love these posters. A very modern touch to our past. I believe we all sang these songs throughout our childhood. They’re also a great way to teach children about our heritage which they are rarely exposed to nowadays.
