Replacing Paul the Octopus?

Pace legend Glenn McGrath foresaw Australia complete au00a04-0 whitewash over India in the ongoing Test series. He made this claim following Australia's bowling attack, and managed to annoy a whole lot of people in the process. Faking News tweeted: 'Glenn McGrath should be blacklisted from IPL and Bigg Boss.' Anthony Leach asked: ''Has McGrath ever predicted anything other than a series whitewash by Australia in any series?' There was this comment from Koyal Ghosh: 'Everyone has the right to dream.' And this observation from Renjith Menon: 'Glenn McGrath is trending in India but not in Australia. Like the roadside jyotish who is thrown out of his village and makes it big in a city.'

Power struggle



What are things that don't go together? Some people online listed these among other examples: 'Tiger Woods and black women', 'curd and noodles', 'Chinese New Year songs and serenity', 'his actions and her expectations', 'honesty and politicians', 'dieting and new year resolutions' and, interestingly, 'modesty and Twitter.'

The last word
From writer Chetan Bhagat: 'People who keep switching their minds from negative to positive thoughts do better in life. Don't doubt this. Believe it.'
