A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed, who could not only serve drinks efficiently but also converse with the customers intelligently on a variety of topics.
A guy came in for a drink and the robot asked him,
"What's your IQ?"
The man replied, "160."
Robot said: "hmm, Scientist?"
Man replied: Yup, "Astrophysicist"
So the robot proceeded to make conversation about the Grand Unified Theory of Universe of Stephen Hawking while serving him drinks.
The man listened intently and exclaimed, "This is absolutely great"

I'm going to a nursing home. I have to. When life gets to where you are no longer able to take care of yourself completely, your children are busy at work and have to take care of their children and have no time to take care of you, this seems to be the only way out.
If there is ONE, just one book, that everyone who loves India should read, it is, "Educational Heritage of Ancient India" by @singhsahana It gives a wholesome view of the thriving Educational heritage of India, how Muslim invaders destroyed it, how English perpetuated it and...

@DrRPNishank Don't be proud like @PrakashJavdekar that not a single word of text books on history has been altered. It is because India surrendered her education at school level to Xtian Convents and college level education,
that Indians (from 1800s onwards) have developed an inferiority complex about India and everything Indian but lost their traditions and rich legacy. We are fighting a civilizational war here not just altering of text books.
Whatever little bit of Tamil that I know, the Tamil history, the Indian history that I have studied is because I read in a non-convent school - called the DTEA Higher Secondary School in Delhi. Am ever grateful to the teachers for having taught the above topics.
Imran , a Pakistani citizen aged 72, is visiting London for the first time. He decides to skip the afternoon tour and explore the city on his own.
He saunters around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness.
After a while, he finds himself in a very high-class neighbourhood.
Big, stately residences ... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of all ... no public toilets.
He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness beers and all that trouble with his prostate.
