@GM:

If I am not mistaken, didn't you live in India or Delhi for some time ?  You know how it is done - Instead of lab culture required to grow a Triumph engine, RE engine is grown in a biodegradable and natural way - with moo manure.  Being an Indian born Punjabi, I seen many things growing up in farm land that way - now you know how they do it there  ;D.  

@Will:

That is one funny and impressive video !  Thanks for posting.

On a side note - Hey, Congratulations - you guys kept the Ashes and beat the heck out of Australian cricket team.

@Greenmachine:

You travelled quite a bit and saw the country in the REal sense by visiting across a wide area with different landscape.  Going to India for a week just doesn't do it.

About the food - you are right.  It has taken many years to get some decent Indian food in US.  I am in New Jersey and this is perhaps the best place in US to taste close to authentic Indian food.  So, when are you visiting NJ ?

The Indians in the RE factory found a way to breed small, extremly fast Elephants that look similar to bikes  ;D

Christ almighty I thought I'd be safe from a reminder of the result on this forum at least  :(

Cheers  ;D
