1. Studying for 7 years in a University, then stay home for 10 years unemployed!

2. Raise a child for 20 years, then find out he/she is not yours!

3. Work hard for the whole month, then go to the ATM and get robbed!

4. Being faithful to the person you call your Soulmate, then in return, you get AIDS!

5. Study for the whole night for a test, then fail the test.

6. You're downloading a video of 5gb and when it reaches 98% your phone dies!

Waking up every morning next to ur partner who you knw doesn't love you.

I was surprised to login after a long while to see so much comments on this thread. I thought it was long dead.
I went through all the comments and i've been laughing ever since.
I still haven't gathered liver to free merlin yet but i really want to. I'll probably get an African grey later later. Parrots are cool to have around even when they don't talk. Mine dips her head into her bowl of water and uses her claws to style d hair. Lol. I'm very serious. I'll snap it the next time she does it.
I saw so many lovely parrots up there. Nice.

Funny tho

5. The Little Hunk of Land That Nobody Wants


The 1902 map gave Sudan an extra chunk of fertile territory, known as the Hala’ib Triangle, north of the 22nd parallel, while allotting the Egyptians a rather useless chunk of desert, known as Bir Tawil, south of the parallel. One hundred and ten years later, the border is still in dispute.

Not shockingly, the Egyptians insist the 1899 map shows the “real” borders, while the Sudanese say the 1902 map is more accurate. Both countries claim the fertile Hala’ib Triangle, while neither country—or anyone else, for that matter—claims the Bir Tawil.

4. The Island Where You Can See the Future

There are two islands — known as the Diomedes, about two and a half miles apart — right smack in the middle of the Bering Strait. One of them, Little Diomede (pictured), belongs to the U.S., and has a hardcore, weather-bitten population of about 150. The other island, Big Diomede, belongs to Russia and is uninhabited. The space between these two islands marks not only an international border, but the International Date Line as well, making it possible for the folks on Little Diomede to wake up on a Sunday, pour themselves a cup of coffee, and peer across the water to Big Diomede, where it’s already Monday.

3. The American Town That's Really in Canada

In 1787, the Treaty of Paris basically laid out which British territories would go to the freshly victorious American rebels, and which would remain part of British Canada. The treaty said that the Americans would get all the British territory “through the Lake of the Woods, to the northwestern most point thereof, and from thence on a due west course to the river Mississippi…” The only problem was, the map they were using wasn’t quite right.

They didn’t know at the time that the source of the Mississippi was actually farther south, so if you follow their instructions to a T, you get this funny, 123 square mile blip of Minnesota up in the middle of Canadian territory, which still exists today. It’s called the “Northwest Angle,” and can only be accessed from the U.S. by land by cross

The citizens of the tiny Angle Township must check in via videophone to the Canadian customs authorities when they want to leave their village, and with the American customs authorities when they want to come back.

2. Closing Time at the Dutch-Belgian Border

Any border buff worth his salt will tell you about the little town of Baarle, which straddles the Dutch-Belgian border. The Belgian portion of town, known as Baarle Hertog, is not so much a hunk of territory as a smattering of tiny exclaves inside of the Netherlands town of Baarle-Nassau. As in Cooch-Behar, many of those Belgian exclaves also contain Dutch exclaves, making a map of the whole t

For a while, a Dutch law requiring dining establishments to close earlier than they did in Belgium laid the foundation for an absurd, nightly charade in some Baarle restaurants. At closing time in the Netherlands, patrons would have to get up and move tables, over to the Belgian side. Like in Cooch-Behar, Baarle’s complex borderline has 2
do with how regional lords and dukes divided up their land hundreds of years ago.

The official border between Belgium and the Netherlands runs through living rooms, yards and cafés, so it’s possible – indeed, it happens more often than you’d think – to sit across a table having a cup of coffee with someone who is actually in a different country.

Most of us think of international borders as invisible, but clear-cut, lines: stand on one side, and you’re in one country; stand on the other, you’re in another country. But here’s a list of five international borders that, for o

1. The Indian Exclave in Bangladesh That Contains a Bangladeshi Exclave (Which Contains Another Indian Territory)

The Cooch-Behar District, nestled between Bangladesh and India, is one of the most confusing border zones in the world, with 102 mini-exclaves belonging to India splattered on the Bangladeshi side of the border, and 71 exclaves belonging to Bangladesh peppering the Indian side. To further confuse things, inside many of those exclaves, there are other, even smaller exclaves belonging to the other country.

For example, take the Indian region of Balapara Khagrabari. It’s an Indian exclave on the Bangladeshi side of the border, and contains inside of it, a Bangladeshi exclave, which, in turn, contains yet another Indian territory—like a doughnut inside of a doughnut inside of a doughnut. In Bangladesh. Or in non-pastry terms: Balapara Khagrabari is the only place in the world where an exclave contains another exclave that contains yet another exclave.

So why’d the border get drawn like that? It can all be traced back to power struggles between local kings hundreds of years ago, who would try to claim pockets of land inside each other’s territories as a way to leverage political power. When Bangladesh became independent from India in 1947 (as East Pakistan until 1971), all those separate pockets of land were divvied up. Hence the polka-dotted mess.

In 2011, the Indian and Bangladeshi governments signed a treaty that will eventually get rid of all the exclaves, draw a nice clean line between the countries, and allow people living within the enclaves to choose which nationality they’d like to have

mormoni:
This is what i'm facing in my ongoing relationship. My girlfriend talks a lot on the phone, she says a lot of things on phone; romantic stuff and all sort of things. When it comes to chatting, she is very free with me expressing her love for me. But once i'm with her, the whole thing changes..for her to look in to my eyes is a very big problem not to talk of her talking freely with me. She is always shy but only when we are together. Fellow nairalanders, how do I correct this? How do I make her feel free with me

If you can't give a better advice just shut the fvck up

Op,all you gat to do is 2 make her feel she can trust u,rely on u.
My girlfrnd used to behave like this b4 bt I tried my best to make everything look great. Now she can dance in front of me,even sing in front of me....when a shy girl start exhibiting all this she can nw trust you.... B4 I couldn't hold my gf and walk bt nw its old story...whenever we're having a discuss she's nw d first to kiss...

She's a pisces(zodiac sign) then tend to exhibit this kind of character

When was she born? (Her month)

My ex broke up with me cus I told her this quote. "you have more to offer than what's in btw that two legs of yours"

Try to give ur merlin palm-kernel and see wonders esp the way he'll eat it
I do give mine crackers (biscuit) most times.

beautycrush24:
Huh! I'll probably go and look for them there.

Do merlin make crazy noise at night?
Am nt sure tho cus simon never did that...(Senegal whatever breed)
But katherine(round neck) do that most times..maybe she has nightmare I guess...lol bt if I check on her I'd see rat in da cage.
Unfortunately my mom sis (who is so religious) came over to spend d night yesterday and I was up till 1am browsing then katherine made that funny sound for so long. so,I had to go check on her and funny enough I saw my mom sis praying and cast d evil spirit inside my bird.....lol
Then she turned around and said "kill this ur bird cus its satanic" birds don't make sound at night...
