I gave you an important announcement in our Time Pass blog.  Take a look at it here:  http://funnyaffairs.blogspot.com/2007/08/important-information-for-girls-from.html

You will really enjoy these hilarious answers to some serious exam questions:  http://funnyaffairs.blogspot.com/2007/08/this-is-way-to-answer-questions.html


In today's briefing:

1.  The Pope is against tax havens.  Let's learn a bit about the way RCC is organized in India.  BTW what is a curia?  Ever heard of it? 

2.  An excellent piece on subprime crisis.  A must read.

3.  Something about Murali's doosra controversy.  This is actually meant for non-cricketing fans like me :)

4.  Why is ship safety assuming importance now?  What steps should India take in this regard?  What is an FoC country?

5.  What is the country that offers free sex change operations in the world?

6.  Some gubernatorial appointments.  To six states to be precise.

7.  A bit about World Photography Day.  When did the first photograph make its appearance?

8.  IAF pilots set a record.  What is it?

9.  World Badminton championships.  Where were they held?  Who are the Men's and Women's champions?

That's all for today.  Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
