T13: Women as explained by engineers

Header by Samulli. Play T13 here.

Here's another EnjoyTheMasti mail which I don't consider spam while the fun it brings lasts. The claim is nobody understands women better than engineers do. Their definition is composed of five parts consisting significant points about women, all numbered 1 to 13 which make up my list today.

Good one. I'm sure we could do a man-one which would be equally amusing. :)

A little boy's tiara

If you are dropping by from Mommy Moments, please scroll down a bit; thank you. Now the highlights of my week -- 1. Birthday dinner at Cabbages and Condoms . A friend put up with my fondness for dining out and exploring restaurants. C & C supports social development programs of the PDA, an organization that complements the Thai government's effort to promote family planning. 2. Cafe de Tu .

I could not see buildings 2 minute-walk away. The illusion of cold made me smile. iii. Bible Heroes , Ceejay's new DVD interest. He never wanted to watch it when he was 3. I'm glad he's back to christian stuff. For now it's goodbye, Buddhism. iv. Phone conversation with Mama . Mozart's (on left side
