Righ Hand of Doom


People who have watched Hell Boy would understand what I am talking about..I saw this movie when it got released..I was skeptical after looking at the character as to how this demon like creature would bring about change in the world.

HellBoy(Anung un Rama )is a creature summoned by the Nazis at the end of the world war and later discovered by the US army. Then Professor Trevor Bruttenholm becomes his father/mentor and reads him stories of the demons and the underworld and also creates The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense to fight the paranormal and the occult. Hellboy grows up to become a big red demon with a huge right hand known as the "Right Hand of Doom".He likes nachos and salsa, Baby Ruths and kitten...
Both the movies are good and refreshing from the usual superhero movies.
He is pretty much like wolverine in the sense that he can heal from wounds easily. His right hand is big enough to punch a hole in the wall and equally capable of catching a fly.
His love interest can also match up to him. The lady I am talking about is Liz sherman. Born in Kansas city, she has the ability to create fire..but doesn't have control over it until later on in life..She gets the control only in Helllboy 2 after taking lessons from monks on how to control it. She is the love interest of Red and at the end we come to know that they are having twins..
Very nice film...worth watching..

Cancel your card when you die!!

I came across this in an email:
A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank.

Here is the exchange:


Family Member: ‘I am calling to tell you she died back in January.’

Citibank: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.'

Citibank: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'

Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'

Citibank: 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!'

Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?'

Citibank: 'Excuse me?'

Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?'

Citibank: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'

Supervisor gets on the phone:


Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance.'

Citibank: 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'

Citibank: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'

Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given)

Citibank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'

Family Member: 'Sure.' (Fax number was given)

After they get the fax:


Citibank: 'Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'

Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.'

Citibank: 'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.' (What is wrong with these people?!?)

Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?'

Citibank: 'That might help.'

Family Member: ' Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.'

Citibank: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!'

Family Member: 'What do you do with dead people on your planet???
(Priceless!!)
