On Board the Nautilus

On Board the Nautilus

I forgot to be amazed. I’m sure that’s the reason I get bored. But on board Nautilus, who can ever know ennui? Not me, probably.

Top 20 Countries on Facebook

In the last six months, above were the top 20 countries using the viral social network site, Facebook. US topping the list is no marvel. But Philippines on the 7th rank in the world, truly astonishing! I haven’t seen Asian Economy giants nearing the 20 top users: Japan ranks 33rd, while South Korea, 35th. Is
