Superhero Battles

Filed under: Humour, RotD — Tags: , , — chiragchadha9 @ 12:48 am

Well, that’s actually not a good start. But anyways, the post is about REAL superheroes and not like ^. Superheroes that you’ve seen since childhood. I had been thinking about this post for quite some time now and I really hope you like it. Most battles are really epic while some of them are here just to make you laugh.

1.) Hulk vs Thing

The battle everybody wants to see. Hulk, the beast vs Thing, well he’s a beast as well. Thing is made up of brown rocks while Hulk has a green body with a ugly looking purple cloth covering his private parts. The catch is the hulk gets stronger as he gets mad and its pretty easy to make the incredible hulk mad. A lot of people have written about this epic battle and simple googling would give you interesting reads. All I can see out of this battle is just sounds of these two beasts throwing each other away.

My Winner – Hulk

2.) Batman vs Iron Man

Bruce Wayne vs Tony Stark. A child of wealthy doctors who saw his parents being gunned down to death in Gotham vs A genius child of a wealthy weapon manufacturer who suddenly changed when he took shrapnel to his heart. While Tony has been able to create technology to fight any obstacles that come his way, Batman also boosts things like the Batmobile and Batarangs. Since both of them are mortal, the fight is pretty interesting and even.
I have thought about this fight for a long long time and couldn’t find a clear winner. The Batman slightly edges it because of his unquestionable intelligence. However, if its a no prep time fight I think the Iron Man could win.

3.) Magneto vs Wolverine

Don’t worry after seeing the picture. We haven’t switched to Japanese pornstars and are still talking about superheroes. Well, this is intra X-Men but a pretty exciting battle. Wolverine has those metal claws that can tear anything apart, but Magneto has the power to control metal. WTF! However, the catch is that Wolverine is practically immortal considering his healing ability. Even if Magneto controls him and throws him huge distances or does practically anything, Wolverine shall still survive.

My winner – Wolverine

4.) Batwoman vs Black Widow

This battle gets a mention for two reasons -

1.) People don’t consider me a sexist. I agree women superhero battles can be equally intriguing and fun to watch.

2.) I couldn’t really get my mind off Scarlett Johansson while writing the post. Hence, the above poster.

People who associate women battles with arguing or pillow fights, trust me this is going to be one hell of a fight. Black Widow is a world class athlete and gymnast and an expert in martial arts and various forms of kung fu along with being a weapons specialist. Her body is enhanced so that it is resistant to aging and diseases and heals quickly. (Note – Scarlett Johansson will age though) On the other hand, Batwoman lacks superpowers and relies on her artistry and Batman inspired equipment to fight.

My winner – Black Widow

5.) Dumbledore vs Gandalf

Well not exactly a superhero battle but the video is beyond epic. If they are to fight with words then this battle could last ages. However if they were to fight by hand, well not exactly by physically then I think Gandalf would edge it.

6.) Lex Luthor vs Joker (Idea Courtesy – Shubham Sogani)

The prospect of a villain vs villain battle is always exciting. If the villains are Lex Luthor and Joker, it gets even better. Precisely, two mad men fighting it out. Lex Luthor with his money and martial arts skills seems like a winner to me. Joker looks insane but is pretty smart and can work everything out. However, Lex does the same. However, I still think Lex would find a way to manipulate and outsmart Joker.

7.) Shaktimaan vs Krrish (Idea Courtesy – Meghank Garg, IIT Delhi)

An Indian superhero battle was a must have for this post. Unfortunately, Meghank’s idea was much better than my idea of having Ra.One vs Chitti. Shaktimaan the superhero we grew up with vs Krrish the first Bollywood superhero. I leave you with two videos that do not show their fighting skills (well maybe, they do). But, the videos will make you smile.

Thanks for reading. Please comment and rate the post.

Cheers.

IPL Scandals – A tale of money, women and scandals

Filed under: Humour, RotD — Tags: , , , , — chiragchadha9 @ 2:48 pm

The IPL over its 5 seasons has witnessed a huge number of scandals, majorly this year. The two main causes I see behind them are money and women. Here, I list some of them. Again, I may have missed out on the other big ones; but choosing 5 or 6 out of so many is pretty tough.

1.) Luke Pomersbach

RCB’s Aussie cricketer Luke Pomersbach was arrested by Delhi Police when American National Zohal Hameed alleged he molested her and hit her fiance Sahil when he objected to Luke’s behavior.

Sid Mallya, the hotshot RCB owner replied to these allegations by tweeting – “The girl who is accusing Luke is saying he hit her ‘fiance’…what a load of f****** s***. She was all over me last night and asked for me bbm pin, so if he was her fiance she wasn’t exactly behaving like a future wife.”

However, Hameed has withdrawn her charges after an off court settlement now and Luke has returned back down under.

2.) SRK’s Wankhede Brawl

SRK has created a lot of issues in the past but they were mainly smoking related issues. This time SRK went a step further by entering into a spat with a MCA security guard after his team beat Mumbai Indians at Wankhede. Officials say that SRK was drunk and abused them, while SRK claims that the guard manhandled his daughter.

SRK has been banned from the Wankhede for 5 years; however the BCCI shall intervene. An audio recording of the dispute can be found here –

3.) Gabriella Pasqualotto


Not many people know about this South African Mumbai Indian’s cheerleader who was fired in 2011 for secretly blogging about players at post-match parties. She had apparently written about the ‘flirtatious’ and ‘inappropriate’ behavior of the players. She described MS Dhoni as ‘polite’ and Sachin Tendulkar as ‘rarely present’.

One of her posts had read: “We are practically like walking porn. These cricketers are the most loose and mischievous I have come across. I have a long while still here, so I must remember my tip list: beware of the cricketers!”

Coming to the money part now.

4.) Stung by Sting

Five players suspended after they are caught in a sting operation. One of the players TP Sudhindra agrees to bowl a no-ball during a first class match. The other players in the sting are Mohnish Mishra, Shalabh Srivastava, Amit Yadav, and Abhinav Bali. BCCI sets up its anti-corruption inquiry. Sports ministry demands BCCI to come under RTI.

5.) Sunanda Pushkar

Sunanda was at the centre of a saga that ended with the ouster of two men from their positions of power.

In 2010, then IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi had claimed that Shashi Tharoor, a Cabinet Minister at the time, had gifted Sunanda a stake in Rendezvous Sports World, a co-owner of the Kochi franchise. There were allegations that Pushkar’s stake was a proxy for Tharoor.

Modi further alleged that Tharoor had instructed him not to reveal identities of the stakeholders of Kochi IPL franchisee. Tharoor denied these allegations. The two kept going back and forth with allegations. The war of words was the perfect opportunity for Modi and Tharoor’s detractors to dislodge them from their seats. Tharoor had to resign as Minister of State for External Affairs and Lalit Modi was stripped of all his posts in Indian cricket and suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

Football Superstitions

Filed under: Humour, RotD — Tags: , — chiragchadha9 @ 1:19 am

I am starting to get goosebumps now, thinking about the champions league final, even though my favorite club (FC Barcelona) are out of contention. Nevertheless, we all have been waiting for this game. As a buildup to the final, I bring to you some of the most weird superstitions that footballers/managers have. I list 9 of them, in no particular order.

Steve Phillips

The Bristol Rovers keeper cannot change his water bottle.

He reveals: “When I walk into the dressing-room the first water bottle I pick up I have to keep with me for the rest of the day.

“It doesn’t matter how dirty or battered it gets, I can’t use another one or else it’s bad luck.

“And not only that, but once it’s empty our kitman Roger Harding — and only him — has to refill it from a new bottle.

“Roger is the only other person allowed to touch my bottle. I don’t let anyone else anywhere near it.”

Laurent Blanc

The French defender kissed the shiny scalp of keeper Fabien Barthez before matches at the 1998 World Cup.

And the tactic clearly worked as France went on to win the trophy … ooh la la.

Bobby Moore

Classic pre-match ritual involved Moore putting his shorts on after everyone had done so first.

Team-mate Martin Peters copped wind of it and would wait for Moore to finally put his shorts on before taking his down again.

Peters would watch fascinated as Moore then dropped his again!

Gary Linekar

Former England striker would never shoot at goal during the pre-match warm-up.

Our Gary feared he would use up all his good shots if he practised before games.

Just imagine how many he’d have scored if he took his football seriously?

Johan Cryuff

The Dutch legend used to slap his goalkeeper Gert Bals in the stomach while he was at Ajax, and then spit his chewing gum into the opposition’s half before kick-off.

When Cruyff once forgot his gum, in the European Cup final of 1969, Ajax lost to Milan 4-1.

Looking back, Cruyff advised managers to ensure that their players are not influenced by superstition. “If it does influence them,” he cautioned, “you can’t play them in the next match.”

Pele

The Brazil legend once dispatched a friend to track down a fan to whom Pele had given one of his playing shirts with orders to retrieve it at all costs, after suffering a dip in form.

A week later the friend handed Pele his shirt back, and the striker’s form immediately returned.

His friend decided not to tell him that the search had been futile and he had simply given him back the same shirt he had worn in the previous match.

David Beckham

Image has always been fundamental for Beckham, so it should come as no surprise that he has an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which manifests itself in making sure that certain items are arranged just so.

Many might uncharitably suggest that his hair is the most obvious, but in fact his biggest obsession is ensuring that all of the items in his fridge are arranged just so.

And if he has just three cans of Pepsi, he will throw one away so that there is an even number.

Urinating

So many players’ superstitions revolve around passing water that it deserves a section of its own.

Mario Gómez, the German striker, always uses the urinal situated furthest to the left in the washroom.

John Terry, meanwhile, prefers to always use the same urinal in the dressing room toilets at Stamford Bridge, and if the spot is taken he will wait until he can use it, even if there are others free.

Sergio Goycochea, the former Argentina goalkeeper. had a legendary routine for facing penalties – and until the final of Italia ’90, it was a remarkably successful one – which involved him urinating on the pitch.

John Terry

Since, he misses out on the CL Final, he did deserve a lot of mention.

The Chelsea captain admits he has about 50 pre-match routines/superstitions.

JT admits he sits in the same seat on the team bus, listens to the same CD and parks in the same spot at Stamford Bridge, to name a few.

However, he still ends up slipping on the ground when his team needs him the most.

 

PS – If you’re still wondering why I had 9 superstitions listed, its because 9 is my lucky number and also that this is my 9th post on the blog.

Cheers

George Best

Filed under: Humour, RotD — Tags: , , — chiragchadha9 @ 7:50 am

Some of you might be wondering, why this post on WBILA? It’s simply because this blog wants random stuff and this guy is the most random, weird guy i’ve ever heard of.

So, George Best is an Irish footballer who played for Manchester United as a winger. This guy won the European Cup with Manchester United and was also European Footballer of the Year. Here are a list of quotes from this guy. Get ready for a hearty laugh.

  • I might go to Alcoholics Anonymous, but I think it would be difficult for me to remain anonymous.
  • I don’t drink every day, but when I do it’s usually for four or five days on the trot.
  • They say I slept with seven Miss Worlds. I didn’t. It was only four. I didn’t turn up for the other three.
  • Best on David Beckham – “He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn’t score many goals. Apart from that he’s all right.”
  • Before going to play at Vancouver – “Because I saw an advert on the side of a London bus inviting me to ” Drink Canada Dry”"
  • They’ll forget all the rubbish when I’ve gone and they’ll remember the football. If only one person thinks I’m the best player in the world, that’s good enough for me.

    All the bad times cannot wipe away the good memories, and despite all the ups and downs, when I look at my life as a whole, it is impossible for me not to feel blessed.

  • Reporter Sue Mott, taking Best’s mobile phone number: “God, do you realise half the women in the world would pay good money to get that number?”

    Best: “Half the women in the world have got it.”


    Apart from all this, here’s a sample of what he did on the pitch.
