'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'said Chandrashekhar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. &lt;br /&gt;Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its&lt;br /&gt;history than you do.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She heard a loud whisper: 'F**k the Indians,'&lt;br /&gt;'Who said that?' she demanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chandrashekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1862.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'&lt;br /&gt;The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, Chandrashekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? S*ck this!'&lt;br /&gt;Chandrashekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to&lt;br /&gt;the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you&lt;br /&gt;say anything else, I'll kill you.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Gary Condit&lt;br /&gt;to Chandra Levy, 2001.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teacher fainted. . &lt;br /&gt;And as the class gathered around the teacher on&lt;br /&gt;the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, we're f**ked!' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;, , &lt;br /&gt;And Chandrashekhar said quietly, 'George Bush, Iraq, 2005.' , ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~ By &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/10230158250240886859"&gt;By tqmcintl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419340396706043622-8280003547869715356?l=oddlyworldly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://forum.nigeriantimesinternational.com/index.php?topic=2417.0' title='WHY PEOPLE ARE FRIGHTENED OF INDIANS!!!!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oddlyworldly.blogspot.com/feeds/8280003547869715356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6419340396706043622&amp;postID=8280003547869715356' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419340396706043622/posts/default/8280003547869715356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419340396706043622/posts/default/8280003547869715356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oddlyworldly.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-people-are-frightened-of-indians.html' title='WHY PEOPLE ARE FRIGHTENED OF INDIANS!!!!'/><author><name>Michael Chima Ekenyerengozi</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113572550929135943387</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PLVcguMCHH0/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAJ74/X6Vad8jFaoA/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419340396706043622.post-688868266933470166</id><published>2007-12-30T04:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-30T04:05:33.243-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Booty Beauty Pageant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japanese &quot;love&quot; dolls'/><title type='text'>Oddest stories of 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="cubeDiv" style="position:relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="position:relative; z-index:2;"&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" id="swfclipp22469" width="330" height="605"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=p22469&amp;m=298085&amp;v=1" /&gt;&lt;param name="base" value="."/&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=p22469&amp;m=298085&amp;v=1"base="." wmode="transparent" width="330" height="605" name="swfclipp22469" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="voxAdp22469" style="position:absolute;z-index:2;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever been to a booty competition? Did you even know there was a worldwide booty competition? This year, a man and woman were both crowned as having the best rumps in the world in a rear end pageant. Other favorite oddities include the lonely, reclusive Japanese man who has hundreds of dolls. "Love" dolls, that is.  Speaking of sick fetishes, how about the robber who licked the ashy toes of his victim after robbing her? Ol' Dirty Bastard is smiling down on that disturbed individual from the great insane asylum in the sky.
