Andre.. Andre.. Andre..
On the topic of repartees and ripostes, heres what happened at the Australian Open last weekend.

Agassi reaches the podium to get the trophy after demolishing the German newbie. By now, it was no secret, that Agassi - by winning the Open, has won the bet he had earlier with Steffi. The bet was that Steffi should play the French Open mixed doubles if Agassi manages to emerge 4th time victor at Melbourne!

So Agassi did win it and along with it the bet!

During his speech at the podium, he thanked various people and finally remarked "I really dont know what more to say here"

Someone in the audience yells - "Lets talk about Steffi.."

Agassi looks over at that part of the crowd and shoots back - "Hey I dont talk about your wife, right?" (a brief pause) ".. atleast not as far as you know!"

Right and Wrong -Reloaded..
There is this common thread that never ceases to amaze me.

All beings in the universe (as far as I have seen) seem to have a sense of fairness (the sense that makes them distinguish good from bad, right from wrong).

Makes me think if all this is just a big game and the above is just one of the unwritten rules of the game - which we, as players, follow without realizing..

Right and Wrong..
The following theory seems to be correct.. surprisingly...

The sense of "right" and "wrong" is absolute!

So let me accept this without much ado..

God..
The following theory should be wrong..

Uncertainity of future is the only thing that makes us assume the existence of a supernatural force (sometimes called GOD!)..
If, in the course of evolution, Man progresses to a state where he can accurately determine future, he wont need the assumption of GOD..


I need time to think and explain why this should be wrong.. And I dont seem to have that!
