// I know the Durian fruit. Has an odd odor, but tastes really good!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian
yeah the smell quite strong, if you carry the Durian in your car, the smell stays untill the next day.. so its easy to know if your neighbour just bought Durian, you won't be late to join to eat their Durian ...:D
yep, it taste really good, :thumb::thumb:
Talking about Durian (here some call it Jack fruit) the western people call it the "stinkiest fruit asians learn to love". Kerala is known for Jack fruit, and in those season this thing gets ripe by dozens and fall off the tree. (Who is going to eat if it is getting ripe by dozens, BTW) Because it falls off and lay decaying on the bottom of the tree, it stinks. Its actually very tasty. (I doubt if there are any fruit tastier that it) The smell of it is so strong that even after washing the smell remains with those who eat. But because of its smell, man I hate it. I ask mom not to bring to the house when I'm around.
Maybe they are different, but what I was talking about was the Durian fruit. The one you see on the link that Max sent! If there were no odor, I would have loved the Durian thing!
Darn... I was hoping you wouldn't see what I posted. I deleted it since I realized you said that's how you call "Durian" at your place. :D
You should try jackfruit then. It looks similar w/ Durian... without the odor but tastes almost the same. :)
EDIT: Although the jackfruit's taste is less stronger than Durian's.
You know, when I have nothing to do in the office, I'm quick as an eagle :DQuote:

// And this is how the Joke Thread became talking about Durian and Jackfruit! :D
I'm all confused now. I think what I was talking was about Jack fruit. :(
BTW do you know of a fruit, that looks like Jack fruit but much smaller. About half the size of a football? It is very tasty. No odor though! I had it only once when I was small, because the tree is very tall compared to the Jack fruit tree. The flesh inside is small as well!
Well, do you remember what it tastes like? Is it sour? I do know one fruit that has spikes. This fruit has a tangy (sour) taste to it.. but its you can make a delicious shake from it if you use a very ripe fruit. Its called 'Soursop'.. but this might not be the one you're asking about. :DQuote:

Hmmm..it looks more like Cempedak...no sour...but nice smell and tastes better than Durian.
/Think cilu will come and split the threads :(...well I think that's better.
And you know that seed is known as shoot/fire seed, because you tend to shoot gas (from the back) after having a lot of it :D (be it cooked/fried)
I just receive this interesting Math problem, I can't believe I can't solve it..:confused::o

Quote:
There are 3 friends, went for a vacation in Penang Island, as they reach the island, the searched for a resort area to find a place to stay for one night. Thy found a resort where the rent is only RM30, since they are good friends, they decided to just take one room and share. Each one of them take out RM10 to pay for the rent a total of RM30, then they went to their rooms to fresh up. Meanwhile, the beautiful receptionist, just remembered that the resort is currently giving out special promotions, RM25 only for each room, not RM 30. So she called the Bell Boy and give him RM5 to give back to the three guys. On the way to the three guys room, the bell boy was thinking how he is going to split the RM5 and give to the three of the guys. So he decided on giving each of the RM1 and keep the balance RM2 for himself. So this means, each of the guys payed RM9, since they get RM1 back, so 9 X 3 =27, the bell boy take RM2, that means 27+2 = 29..
so, where is the missing RM1..
:D this is wrong. 9*3 = 27 and that 27 inlcudes the 2RM the boy took. 27 + 3 which is the 3 RM they got back. You see, the question is deleberately made wrong!
ok, like this..??
30 = (10*3)
30 = 10 + 10 + 10
30 = (9 + 1 ) + (9 + 1 ) + (9 + 1 )
30 = (9+9+9) + (1+1+1)
30 = (27) + (3)
yes, when list down i can see it clearly, but the Q still don't make sense.. ahh twist of words or what..!!???
Or you could say that they paid 3*9=27, the bell boy took 2, which means 25 is left, e.g. the cost of the room.
That was funny. :lol:Quote:

You decreased the number of years to spend all his money, so he actually needs to spend about US$10 Million per day to use up all his money before he kicks the bucket. I rounded up because Gates probably has a bit more money now than he did 10 years ago. :DQuote:

Two nuns from France were coming to New York.
While awaiting their landing, one nun looks at the other and says, "Over here in America, they have strange customs."
"Really? Like what?" says the other.
"Over here, they eat dogs."
Astounded, the other gasps, "DOGS! No way! Really?"
"Yeah, they sure do."
"Well, I guess we'll have to just get us some so that we can try to fit in."
After they landed, they went to Central Park to a hot dog stand and ordered.
"Two dogs, please!" the nuns said.
Afterwards, they went to a park bench to eat their dogs.
When one nun unwrapped hers, she blushed.
She turned to the other nun and reluctantly asked, "Er, um...which part did you get?"

In a second grade sex education class, a little girl asks, "Teacher, can my momma get pregnant?"
The teacher asks, "How old is your mother?"
The little girl says, "Forty."
The teacher says, "Yes, Your mother could get pregnant."
The little girl asks, "Can my big sister get pregnant?"
The teacher asks, "How old is your sister?"
The little girl answers, "Nineteen."
The teacher says, "Oh my yes, your sister certainly could get pregnant."
The little girl asks, "Can I get pregnant?"
The teacher asks, "How old are you?"
The little girl says, "I'm seven years old."
The teacher says, "No, you can't get pregnant."
The little boy behind the little girl gives her a poke and says, "See, I told you we had nothing to worry about."

Having had one drink too many,
a bar drinker was beginning to display a nasty side.
An unescorted female sat down beside him
and he whispered to her, "Hey! How about it babe? You and me?"
As she got up to move, he said loudly,
"Honey, you sure look like you could use the money,
but I don't have two dollars."
She looked back and replied just as loudly,
"What makes you think I charge by the inch?

Here's another joke:
Quote:
When the largest, most accurate, state of the art astronomic observatory was built, an army of astronomers from arround the world used it to search the space like never before. And one day they made an astonishing discovery: some huge letters on the surface of Pluto. Unfortunatelly they did not know what it meant. So they have decided to write something similar in a desert in US. They have gathered all the ink from the country and used it to write the following question in English:
"Do you understand this?"
Three months later they noticed new signs un Pluto, this time in English:
"Yes, we understand."
Realizing what amazing milestone in the history of human kind this was they gathered all the ink from Europe and Asia, generating an world wide economic crisis, and write a new question on the desert.
"What do you want from us?"
And as the world waited in tension the answer came five months later:
"Nothing. Don't pay attention to us. We are talking to Saturn."
A real knee slapper.Quote:
