Why?

  • is there a second serve in tennis? No other game has it. Its quite ridiculous actually. Imagine a volleyball or badminton player getting a second serve. I am sure an elder brother invented it. He missed the serve while playing with his younger brother and demanded a second serve, and it became a rule.
  • is the hindi movie named Ram Lakhan? Was it a typo? Shouldn't it be Ram Lakshman?
  • do aliens visit only the US? I mean statistically the US has just about 6.5 % of the earth's land area. I would like to see a movie where the aliens land in the Amazon rain forests and are killed by anacondas and mosquitoes.
  • did Microsoft buy Lookout (excellent search tool for Outlook), and then make Outlook 2007 incompatible with Lookout? I mean seriously, wtf????
  • are girls of mixed parentage so hot? Katrina Kaif, Tulip Joshi, Isha Sharvani, Laila Rouass, Snajana Kapoor to name a few.
  • did Richard Attenborough get Ben Kingsley to play Gandhi??? He couldn't find find one good Indian actor for the role?? Same for Danny Boyle. He did not find one decent actor from more than a billion Indian people to play Jamal?? There is something about an Indian "slumdog" character speaking English in an obvious British accent that I couldn't digest. Ben Kingsley on the other had did full justice to the role though.
