		<description><![CDATA[A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors &#8216;This is the second time I have written to you, and I don&#8217;t blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we&#8217;ve eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It&#8217;s also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem&#8230;.. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won&#8217;t start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I&#8217;m serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds &#8220;What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?&#8221; The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago in a small village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer&#8217;s beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgive the farmer&#8217;s debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father&#8217;s debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father&#8217;s debt would still be forgiven. 3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer&#8217;s field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked [...]
