This is an on going collection of odd information I pick up from the trimedia (news papers, TV and the net) which I want to share to the world. Oddities are something unusual -- perhaps worthy of collecting; an eccentricity that is not easily explained or perhaps a strange attitude or habit- anything that caught my attention browsing the news which are funny (at least to me) unusual, strange or thought provoking which I want to share…urbi-et-orbi.

A huge steel-and-rock abstract sculpture installed in the stately grounds of the Palace of Versailles dubbed by it's British-Indian sculptor/artist Anish Kapooras as the "Queen's Vagina" sparked an uproar in France!
The 200-foot long, 33-foot high abstract, resembling a funnel in the form of an orifice, is set up in the garden aimed directly at the royal chateau, which attracts five million tourists a year. Kapoor, 61, actually titled the work "Dirty Corner" which is part of an exhibition of his work in the grounds of the 17th century palace and runs until November. Some French media outlets expressed unease at the level of provocation unleashed by Kapoor.

Colt filed for bankruptcy!
Firearms manufactured and sold by Colt. COLT BROCHURE SCREENGRAB |
Colt Defense, the 179-year-old creator of the legendary “gun that won the West”, announced that it filed for bankruptcy due to weak popular sales and government orders.
Colt dates back to 1836, when American inventor and industrialist from Hartford, Connecticut Samuel Colt revolutionized the firearms world by creating the first revolver. He founded Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company (which became Colt's Manufacturing Company and now known as Colt Defense), and made the mass-production of the revolver commercially viable for the first time. The Colt company through those entities and its current structure, has supplied small arms weapons systems to the United States Government and other governments throughout the world since the Mexican-American War of 1847.

Colt, which makes recreational guns as well as the M4 and M16 military rifles, warned bondholders in April of “increasing liquidity challenges" as a result of several recent business trends which included a drop in demand for Colt handguns and delays in US government foreign military sales.
