If There is a God Then Nou Camp is His Pinball Table

I’m no expert but football tournament finals are usually really good exciting games with two really good teams and deserving finalists playing it out to win the title. The exceptions are when the game features the current best national team or club team in the world, Spain and Barcelona respectively, as the last editions of three of the world’s most exciting tournaments, Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and the UEFA Champions League 2011 have had the grave misfortune of. Each of those three matches was more boring than a deep sea oil well. And just for my convenience, henceforth when I refer to one of the teams I shall mostly be referring to the other one as well.

This week’s contest - Find all the Barcelona fans in this picture and win hormone injections!

Calling a Spud a Spade

Dear Shri Kapil Sibal,

In your efforts to make every engineering college in India an IIT I suggest you go a step further and declare Tihar Jail to be one too. The other option obviously is starting an ITI there but ITI Tihar, or ITIT, is something I would advise you against. It's just too much IT in one college for our country's self respect.
