There were three contestants - V.S Sivakumar from UDF, Panniyan Ravindran from LDF and E.K Padmanabhan from BJP. </span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Here I am not trying to express anything related to kerala politics. The matter is somewhat strange.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">In the evening of November 18th, after polling is over, veteran magician from kerala - Mr.Muthukad confidentially predicted the polling results in a sheet of paper and sealed it off in a highly secured bank locker. The event was presided over by ministers, police officials and other eminent personalities from Kerala as a proof of confidentiality (predicted result was not shown to anybody).</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">Today, verdict from the people has been announced and it is declared that Panniyan Ravindran of LDF won for a majority of 74,200 votes. LDF got above 3,80000 votes, UDF got nearly 3,10000 votes and BJP got a vote below 35,000.After the declaration of polling results, the result predicted by the magician has been taken into account for verification. Here is the miracle - <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">The result predicted by Mr.Muthukad is approximately equivalent to the final verdict given by the people, which was announced four days after the bye-election as well as the magical event.</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">Thus a magical mystery has been successfully demonstrated by the magician- Mr.Muthukad. His attempt was to disprove the scientific theories, as it violates the very confidentiality of voting. <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Now it is the time for everyone who believes in science to rise against this and give a clear-cut proof to the above mentioned magical mystery.</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"></span></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">arvind</div>Arvind Pottihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14996760373150898552noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12482552.post-1131904888159343852005-11-13T20:39:00.000+05:302005-11-13T23:53:33.830+05:30Upcoming Threat ?<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5836/1060/1600/062805Google_Earth.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5836/1060/320/062805Google_Earth.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">It is n</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">ow</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"> </span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">p</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">o</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">ssible for everyone (who uses computer) to travel </span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">through any part of the world vi</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">a</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">G</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">o</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">ogle</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Earth</span>.
