These are some of the common questions DBT readers have been asking.
What inspired the creators to give such a name to the magazine? Is it supposed to torpedo into my brainship and sink it like the Titanic?�
'Bangalore Torpedo' is about the only thing named after our beloved city. Its
better than having something like Madras eye -itccchhchch or Bombay duck-stinnnk- or a name like Calcutta which itself comes close to a swear word)�
Bangalore torpedo is a Pipe closed on one end. You fill it with gunpowder and slug, add a fuse and point it to a target and light it. Time it using the fuse. It is a good timing device and ideal for committing suicide. The very first Torpedo of this kind was manufactured in Bangalore. Please let us know if there is any other recorded use of this contraption anywhere in the world before.

Was wondering why the 'da' part in some places. Does dbt have something to do with
reggae / Jamaica?�
No appropriate explanation for the 'da' fetish. But it can be attributed to some subliminal infusion of Jamaican slang in normal
English usage. Part of the globalisation process. It is also easier to type in instead of T-H-E. And of course inspired by da song : De Do Do Do De Da Da Da (Sting) da Album : Zenyatta Mondatta da Group : Da Police.
Amazing!!! What would be regarded as worse than having to waste your valuable time maintaining this website?�
DBT is on a mission to get people to voice their opinions on world issues. It is also a step towards getting people to
exchange information and share their ideas and thoughts. With the increasing number of members, we believe we are getting there. Since DBT is a non-profit effort (because we haven't made any money , yet), we appeal to its members to lend a helping hand to keep this thing going.�

So, who's running this show?
DBT was started by a Bunch O' Bangaloreans (now scattered around the world). The original idea was to keep in touch with each other. We later decided to have a bigger Circle O'Cronies. We now have members from different backgrounds. Presently the site is
maintained from Mumbai, India.
