Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the
bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it
reads.

No one I know has gotten it right.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she
did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be
her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but
never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later
she killed her sister.


Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?


[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]



































Answer:
She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was
a test by a famous American Psychologist used to determine if one has
the same mentality as a killer.

Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the
question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you
off my e-mail list!

Subject: Fw: Be careful if you are into bribing the Malaysian police

Pls help forward .Regards

If you are going Malaysia, be careful if you are into bribing the
police...

This is just a gimmick by police...they will tahan u...then ask to pay bribe RM30...then when u giv they will catch u for bribing them...after
that they get RM 100 reward from their government...see how business are
done...

Newspapers a few days ago. They are raising rewards to police to RM100
for reporting bribes made to them. So if u think u can get away with a bribe of RM50 for a traffic offence, better think again.

Cash reward for cops who arrest anyone trying to bribe them

KUALA LUMPUR: A cash reward of up to RM100 and a letter of commendation
will be given to police personnel who arrest anyone who attempts to
bribe them.

Acting Inspector-General of Police Datuk Musa Hassan said the reward would be for Traffic, Criminal Investigations Department and Narcotics Department police personnel. He added that the reward was to spur policemen to uphold the integrity of the force. "The reward offer is also to let our men know that we appreciate them for their honesty and loyalty. "We also hope to inculcate in our men that accepting bribes is a very serious offence and does not pay," he added. In Kuantan, Pahang
police chief Datuk Ramli Yusuff said the cash reward would be double the bribe offered and up to a maximum of RM100. Ramli told Bernama that the reward would be paid after the person who offered the bribe had been charged and the case concluded in the courts. "I will personally hand over the reward to the police personnel concerned," he said, adding that the incentive would be paid from the Pahang Police Fund. Earlier, at the monthly parade held at state police headquarters, Ramli said L/Kpl Bakri Pandak Ahmad of the Kuantan traffic police was rewarded with RM100 last month for arresting a man who had offered him a RM50 bribe

Lesson Tee: Making an Impact

Swings come in every shape and size, and that's as true for tour players as it is for regular amateurs. But when it comes to impact position, it doesn't matter which tour player you photograph. They're all the same. Good players do one important thing that most average golfers don't - they hit the ball with the clubhead trailing the hands. When Vijay Singh (pictured here) hits a tee shot, for example, the shaft of his driver is leaning 6 or 7 degrees toward the target. That's called forward shaft lean, and incorporating it into your swing can transform your game.

In this article, I'll show you what eight of the best players in the world do at impact, and how that relates to your game. By changing how you think about impact, you'll be able to eliminate the chicken wing, fat shot and weak flare to right field from your game forever.

Golf's 6 Degrees
of Separation

Analysis by Tom Ness
with Matthew Rudy

Almost every player has a primal urge to get the clubhead on the ball as soon as possible. Unfortunately, that desire leads to the swing problems that curse most amateur golfers. The act of trying to get the clubhead moving faster - by throwing or flipping it toward the ball - is the single biggest source of frustration in the game.

The impact photographs in this article prove that good players let the hands lead the clubhead through impact - about 6 degrees in front, for tour players. Poor players let the clubhead pass the front arm before impact. In fact, there's a direct correlation between when the shaft catches up to the lead arm and handicap. The later it catches up, the lower the handicap. It's really that simple.

So how can you beat back that primal urge? First, stop thinking about getting the clubhead to the ball and start thinking about getting the handle past the ball. For the average player, that means a fundamental change in the position of the hands at impact. If you flip the club, your trailing wrist flattens and the leading wrist bends through impact. A good player's leading wrist is flat and the trailing wrist is bent.

It might seem like impact happens too fast for you to be able to have any control over it. Try the two drills shown below to get a feel for a tour player's impact position. You'll be surprised how much control you can really have over your ball.

Don't let handle go backward
To get an immediate sense of what tour players do at impact, grab a club just below the grip and make some small swings two different ways. First, try throwing the clubhead down at the ball by unhinging the wrists. Most average players already do this to some degree in a real swing. The butt end of the club will move backward, away from the target, and up toward your belt - leading to the classic chicken wing. Now try a different way. Drive the butt end of the club forward, toward the target, which keeps the club trailing your left arm through impact. Tour players make this move on every swing.

---

Keep the balloon in place for pure impact
Another way to ingrain a good impact position is to use a balloon (or a grapefruit-size rubber ball) as an impact guide. Place the balloon between your elbows at setup, then hit some chip shots with short, below-the-waist swings. If the body moves in sync with the arms during the swing, the balloon will stay in place. It also means you're keeping the shaft behind your left arm through impact and compressing the ball. If the balloon falls out, you've over-accelerated the clubhead, which forces the elbows to separate. To make crisp contact, your arms should straighten through the downswing. The club will release naturally with your body turn.

» To view full-motion swing sequences click on a player's photo below.

Long leverage If you throw the clubhead with the wrists, you're stuck with a club-length lever. Let the hands lead the clubhead and you extend your lever exponentially. Michelle Wie hits it 300 yards by taking advantage of longer leverage.

Power secret Pound-for-pound, Charles Howell III is one of the longest hitters out there, and it's because of this picture below. At impact, look how far ahead of the ball his hands are.

Tom Ness, who was selected by his peers as one of Golf Digest's 50 Greatest Teachers for 2003-2004, is based at Chateau Elan, near Atlanta.

Watch Tiger's carved a shot destined to be one of the most memorable
in Masters history, a chip that swung around and down a ridge and
seemed to die at the edge of Augusta's 16th hole before tottering in.

here's something i brought back fr the land of smiles for all of u !

We've all heard about people having guts or balls.
   But do you really know the difference between them?
   In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed
   below...

   GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met
   by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still
   cleaning,or are you flying somewhere?"

   BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling
   of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the
   butt and having the balls to say: "You're next."

   I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.  Medically
   speaking,there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately
   result in death.
