I got another AVE joke... found it in my notes the other day.

Fault: I/O Ghost effect in the photoemissive Image Orthicon tube
Reason: Secondary electrons hit the target over and over again and keep getting scanned by the scanning beam

Solution: a) Videcon Tube
Kathak Solution: Multiple shots of vodka. By the end of it, you wouldn't know whether the ghosts are due to misbehavign electrons or perceived due to the vodka!

Yup, shall certainly oblige you two.

Hey guess what, I bought that Kurkure combo pack today! Now I just dream of kurkure the whole day.

Smitha, why don't you post something again?

K, remember abt Veer-Zara?

Btw, (:D) I liked that vodka reason! Must try it once, to see how the ghosts look like when drunk! (I mean when the viewer is drunk, not when the ghosts are drunk!)

Hey, what's the persistence of vision of dogs?

Kurkure... I miss RMT lectures so much, and I miss our Devyaghar Trip also... all we ate was kurkure and kurkure and kurkure and so much of kurkure that we could have created multiple commercials for it!

I do remember Veer-Zara, its a date!

And I would not know the persistance of vision of dogs... why dogs of all things?????

Yeah, Diveagar was so much fun! And you were simply great - 3 bags of kurkure! I'll never forget!

R told me that the persistence of vision of dogs is not 1/16 th of a sec like us, so I think, maybe they can't watch TV like us, they'll need special dog-TVs! Or maybe theirs is still better than us, so they get to see still images on the screen!

Hey I'm eating kurkure right now! :P

Thats true the persistence of vision of dogs is faster so all they'll see on tv is a slide show of of assorted images . I think dogs are also colour blind. You must have heard of the dog trying to find a rainbow.

Anyway reflecting the words of kathak it's awesome to have you back posting .

Hi Akshay! Awesome to have you commenting again! :D

Colour blind?!! Oh poor doggies! My heart bleeds for them....
If you haven't already guessed, I am a dog-lover.
