  • The freak waves

    The Bermuda triangle is world famous,but few people know about the existance of another area in the South Indian ocean where something strange is known to happen.

    On the east coast of South Africa,in calm weather,ships have experienced wall of water advancing towards them as high as 20 meters.

    Since this is not a very busy shipping route,few ships have been lost/damaged by this unpredictable Giant wave.

    It comes with a trough in front of it,the boat falls in the trough and the giant wall of water passes on top of it.

    Here is an extract from a website,and a web link for further reading.

    "ABNORMAL WAVES:

    It is a known fact that giant waves occur on the South African coast in the Agulhas current region, where southwesterly gales prevail against the southward flowing Agulhas current. Professor Mallory of Cape Town University analysed the recorded conditions that prevailed each time a number of ships were damaged by exceptional waves, and found that in all cases the dominant waves were always from the southwest.

    The weather patterns play a major part in that the most dangerous period occurs when cells of low pressure are moving along the coast in a northeasterly direction. These lows are a regular feature of the eastern seaboard and it often happens that during their passage the wind can change from a near northeasterly gale to a southwesterly gale, sometimes in a matter of minutes. The southwest wind then reinforces the existing waves generated by a short choppy sea, which acts directly against the Agulhas current.

    It is the interaction between the strong southwesterly wind and the strong south flowing current which at times can reach 6 knots that creates monstrous freak waves, of which the charts warn: "Abnormal waves of up to 20 meters in height, preceded by deep troughs may be encountered in the area between the edge of the continental shelf and twenty miles to seaward thereof". The warning also describes the necessary evasive action to be taken under unfavourable conditions, namely, to stay clear of the areas seaward of the continental shelf. In other words, move inshore, inside the 200 meter line. This well established rule has given rise to the belief that the bottom topography plays a part in the generation of giant waves, but in fact this only plays an indirect role. "

  • Cave paintings

    This cave painting caught my attention.I found this on a website,and it is from Zimbabwe in africa.I have seen some othe cave drawings from Continental America.
    Long time ago,i went on a trip to the Northen regions of my home country Pakistan.I saw a place where there were numerous stone age paintings.
    The interesting thing is that all of these paintings are strikingly simillar.
    USA and Pakistan are 10,000 miles away.How come the humans of that era draw simillar paintings,so far away from each other.
    Did they have any way to contact each other?
    There is something written in islamic theology.It says that humans lived much longer in pre historic era,than they live now.Then children were 200 years old.
    There will be a time when grandma/grandpa will be 12 years old.
    May be due to their long lives,they used to roam the earth,and physically meet each other.
    Thats the only description i find for the simillarities in cave paintings so far apart.

  • Climate change and Islamic theology

    The following is an article about climate change,and the reasons mentioned in islamic theology.Don't read if easily offended.

    In Islam,the humans are considered as the Pinnacle of the Universal system.All the Universal mechanism are said to be working for the benifit of human race.
    In islamic theology,the Universal system works according to the deeds of humans.
    If we are good,everything will work propperly.There will be no freak weather.
    It is mentioned that we are living beings who are effected by each other's deeds,and need to ask each other to be good.That is obvious in many ways.Green house gasses produced by industrial countries,stop the rain fall in non-industrial africa(just an example).
    When more humans will be bad,the universal system will will start to detereorate.When more humans will be good,the universal system will mend itself and will work properly.
    It is mentioned that "There are places,where people are so bad that Allah does not want to give them rain,but gives rain due to the innocent animals".
    There were times when people were pure.Jews were truey jews,christians were pure christians,Muslims were pure muslims,Non-beleivers were hardcore non-beleivers.Same was with other religions.
    Now we are mostly pretenders,and hypocrats.We say something else and do something else.
    According to islamic theology Hypocracy is one of the worst thing,humans can do.

  • Ancient ice shelf snaps

    This news scared me.

    TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada's Arctic, scientists said.

    The mass of ice broke clear 16 months ago from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 800 kilometers (497 miles) south of the North Pole, but no one was present to see it in Canada's remote north.

  • Creating a new monster

    Mysteries like Brmuda Triangle,Lochness monster,and simillar are based on unexplained accidents.Or sightings.There is no hard scientific proof for any.

    I am planning to creat a simillar legend,but a new one.
    I haven't yet named it,but i have the plot.

    Pakistan intenation airline (PIA) lost a plane in 1989,in the northern mountainous areas.No debri,or survivors were ever found.There was no SOS signal from the plane either.

    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE2D8163FF935A1575BC0A96F948260

    Massive search was launced after the plane lost contact with control tower,but nothing has been found to this date.

    I am planning to give that area a new monster.Atleast PIA will be able to blame the monster for the accident,and for a few near miss,in the same area.

    While searching for the missing plane,the search parties foun the remains of an un identified plane.No records were found of that plane,although it was there,but no body knew when it crashed,and who were the people inside.
    But the biggest problem is...what will i call the monster?

  • Global warming and something freakish

    I love nature since my childhood.I have observed many changes in the environment in thast two decades.
    In my home town,we used to get a lot of snow fall 20 years ago,now we rarely get rain.
    As a child i enjoyed the sight of migrating birds in autumn,from mountains to warmer plains.
    The birds don't migrate anymore,because up in the Himalayan mountains,winters are not so cold now.

    On BBC i saw a program about the polar ice cap,and they said that with the current rate,the north pole may lose all the ice in 30 years.
    That is too scary for me.

    I saw something in Quran,it scared me much.

    The Quran mentions a creature "yajooj majooj".
    The legend says that they used to roam the earth thousands of years ago,and were notorious.
    They looked somewhat like the Gremlins,or the orcs of "Lord of the rings",infact the author of Lord of the rings got the idea of Orcs from "Gog and Mogog" as in The Bible.
    The legen further says that a great king "Zul-Qar-Nain" imprisoned them behind a salt wall,enforced with lead sheets.He did so on the request of the "Northern People".
    Most of the present day Muslim scolors beleive that they are imprisoned under the Arctic ice sheet.When they will be released,they will out number humanity,and consume all our food sources.
    Like the aliens of the movie "war of the worlds",humans will not be able to defeat them,until they all will die due to a disease.
    Since i am a beleiver,to me it sounds too scary that the ice that is holding the freakish creatures,is melting so fast.

  • Some Archaeology

    The Indus valley civilization flourished on the banks of River indus in central Pakistan,some 5000 years ago.
    It was a trading community with highly developed civic sense.The ruins of this ancient city is now a world heritage site.
    Nothing is known about how the civilization was eventually destroyed.
    One theory is that they became sitting ducks due to highly sophisticated life styles,and invading Ariyans from europe killed them all.
    But,scientists have found human skeletons with unusually high radiation levels from these ruins.
    This can't be explained,unless there was a source of high radio activity in the area.With no meteorite crators arround,it can't be a rock from space.
    This leads to the bizzare idea of an ancient nuclear detonation.

  • Beware mobile phone owners

    Today i came to know of a new mobile phone scam.
    I received a text from 07033300067.It said "Did you call me?".Many of my friends text me or give me miss call,and i call them back.
    I get 1000 cross-network minutes every month.I called this number,thinking that it is a friend,the number was attended,but no body spoke from the other side,it was a complete silence.
    I hun up,and later found that this was not a mobile number but a premium rate number,and i was charged for this call.
    Simillar thing happenned to many friends.All UK mobile phone nubbers start with 07,so i thought this is a mobile number,and calling back was free for me.Instead they tricked me and many others to call back on a premium rate number,and they would have made a lot of money.
    Beware,UK mobile numbers start with 07,but not 070,as this will be a premium rate number.

  • The israeli attack on iraqi nuclear installation

    Iraq built the Osirak nuclear facility near Baghdad with French assistance. When intelligence confirmed Iraq's intention of producing weapons there, the Israeli government decided to attack.

    Every detail of the mission was planned meticulously. The target was distant: 1,100 km from Israel. Preparations included building target mockups and flying full scale dress­rehearsal missions. The aircrews were selected from the cream of the Israel Air Force's (IAF) fighter corps.

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief­of­Staff, Lt. Gen. Rafael (Raful) Eitan, briefed the pilots personally. Displaying unusual emotion, he told them: “The alternative is our destruction.”

    At 15:55 on June 7 1981, the first F­15 and F­16's roared off the runway from Etzion Air Force Base in the south. After a tense but uneventful low­level navigation route, the fighters reached their target. They popped up at 17:35 and quickly identified the dome gleaming in the late afternoon sunlight.

    Enemy defenses were caught by surprise and opened fire too late. In one minute and twenty seconds, the reactor lay in ruins.

    The way home was quiet, bringing the mission to its successful completion. It was a perfectly orchestrated opera conducted by the IAF Commander, Maj. Gen. David Ivry. At least for the present, the atomic genie of Baghdad was put back into his bottle

    And then UNCLE SAM managed to accuse iraq of posessing weapons of mass destruction,and attack them :))

  • The Bermuda Triangle

  • When the sky was falling

    Skylab,was an ambitious american space program to build a space station.It was in july 1979 when the skylab started to plunge towards earth.

    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,947058-2,00.html
    It had many radioactive batteries.
    No body was sure about it's place of impact,but it was posing great danger to earthlings.
    I was 5 years old and we did not have a television,just a radio.
    I remamber my father listening to the radio,and telling us that something nasty is about to fall from the sky.
    In those days,my small town in the himalayan foot hills of Pakistan was not so hi-fi(well,who was in 1979,apart from NASA :))?)
    People did not understand much about space and radioactivity.
    Skylab was everywhere.In any gathering,social or commercial,it was discussed.There were very few televisions in the town and some people owned the big radios.The souce of information was general public.One could ask anybody in the market or Mosque abut an update on Skylab.
    News got mixed with rumours.
    Many people were sure that the world is about to end and we are all going to die.
    I remember my old aunt started to wear her best dresses,and said that since i am about to die when this skylab falls,so i want to look good at the end of my life.Many people in Pakistan started to do simillar things.People started to eat the best food,many even went on holidays.
    Some parents named their new born babies "Skylab Khan" or "Skylab singh".
    My grandma said us last goodby every night before she went to sleep,as she used to be on the look out all day for the skylab,and in the night she sighed "well it did not fall even today"
    On clear nights,right after sunset,me and my 4 years old sister and my mother,used to go on the roof top,and keep a constant watch for any signs of the skylab.
    Every shooting star made us scared to death,and thn we laughed at each other,teasing each other on how scared we were.
    Those were scary,funny and memorable days.
    Eventually the nasty thing fell in the Pacific ocean,and parties were thrown in my town on the news.;D;D;D
    Those were scary,funny and memorable days.

  • Because they are men

    The names and photographs of the initial two suspects of ipswich murders are everywhere.
    Finally if they prove to be innocent,all the world will see them with suspicion,and they will get a lot of trouble for being suspects.
    Finding a job will be harder.The first suspect,a supermarket worker even lost his job.
    It is a strange behaviour from the media,that if a suspect in cases like this,or any other is a female,her name and ID is kept secret even after conviction.But men face public humiliation even before being proved guilty.
    Same is with women pedophiles.Many women have sex with boys of less than 18 years of age.But rarely a woman gets convicted of pedophilia.
    If women are equal to men in all aspects of life,why not in court convictions and media coverage of that.
    One standard for men and another for women?

  • Why hacking me?

    My computer is plagued with adwares and trojans.
    Some one out there is downloading my entire hard drive.I am no bank or a financial institute or CIA or MI6.
    I haven't got a clue why that person is so much interested in my computer's data.
    Still struggling to get rid of all the viruses that were uploaded to my system by some one i don't know.
    I know i will do it.:wave:

  • Pakistan,women fighter jet pilots

    Although i don't necessarily agree with the commentator’s words, in this video, but i agree that women are as good as men in flying those planes.
    Most of the F-16s of Pakistani airforce, which are relics of the early 80's don't have a functional ejection seat.
    The pilot will go down with them. The reason is that USA has not provided any spare parts for over 10 years, but still the Pakistanis are flying those planes.
    They buy spares from black market, or make them at home. The spares from black market are many times expensive. The spares made at home, have to be kept secret and in limits quantity due to copyrights.
    The safety bit of the planes is being neglected for this reason.

  • Is it an insult to the UK?

    A 6 Billion Pounds deal with The Kingdom of Saudi arabia was salvaged by Blair government,as they abandoned the bribary investigation against the Saudi royals.
    The saudis threatend to cancel the purchase of 72 eurofighters from UK if an investigation into a previous arms deal was not cancelled.
    The UK government came to terms with them,as this would have ended up in the closure of Euro Fighter related factories across the UK,and hence a loss of thousands of jobs.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6180945.stm

    Many Britons may take it as an insult to their country.
    In my opinnion Blair did the right thing.
    Apart from the financial aspect of this deal.there are certain other things,which are over looked by the critics.
    This arms deal and simillar deals with Muslim countries is more about keeping them in hand.
    Counries like Pakistan and Iran are the examples.Previously both nations were using foreign war mechines.Pakistan used to get all it's weaponry from USA and Iran got it from USSR.
    Later,Pakistan faced embargoes from the US,and hence stopped receiving any weapons.
    This made them to try and make weapos of their own.Now they make their own tanks,ballistic missiles,air defence systems.They even have made their own fighter jets.All because,they stopped getting these things from abroad.
    Simillar thing if done to Saudi arabia,they will first buy weapons from alternative sources,such as china,or even Pakistan.Eventually they may try and make aircrafta and other defence systems of their own,and there goed the west's upper hand.
    Thats why i think that Blair did the right thing in this situation.

  • Someone out there,does not like me.

    My computer is being bombarded with viruses.
    I have tried so many anti-virus softwares,but nothing seems to cure my comp.

    Tomorrow i may have to format my hard drive and re-install everything,as this is the last solution.
    Blogging has become so difficult for me,due to this.
    But still i blog,atleast once a day :)
