Last night I received a text message on the subject of “World Superb General Knowledge”. I found it very interesting and went ahead to find the authenticity whether its true or not. I was able to find only a few of them to be true, while other things were not authentic (or atleast I didn’t find any source of it)

I usually don’t write too much posts but still my blog is flooded with spam messages/comments. I had to manually delete each spam comment every morning until I got the Wordpress plugin which does this job for me. Its Akismet Spam Blocking plugin. I just noticed that it has blocked over 12,900 spam messages since I installed it. As far as I remember, I installed it in the starting of 2008. So, its doing pretty good job for me.
