Pop quiz


Time to modify the Guessing Game a bit.

It is the only metal, except for mercury, caesium, and rubidium, which can be liquid near room temperatures; this makes possible its use in high-temperature thermometers. It has one of the longest liquid ranges of any metal and has a low vapour pressure even at high temperatures. What is the symbol?

Guessing game number four




No hints, do your worst. Place name please.

Kitty Litter Cake



It looked too real...couldn't...just couldn't.....

Happy Halloween



Today many of the "associates" at CVH dressed UP. Johnny Depp made an appearance by our IT guy, cutlass and all. Should have seen him with the soul patch, going "Aye" and "Arggh".

For lunch we had Pumpkin stew. Beef stew served in a hollowed out pumpkin, biscuits on the side. Various salads; hair ball salad, gobs of quacamole on shredded carrots. Red and blue jello with gummy worms ... and most disgusting of all...

All right then, I remembered to save these images with non location identifiers. Use your fiendishly clever intellect to tell me where this place is located. Do it soon, my short term memory really sucks. Just the country please, I have already forgotten the name of the city..jeez.

PARALLEL UNIVERSES



I actually googled the equation that describes parallel universes but I couldn't post it because it is TWENTY SEVEN pages of mathematical computation. And the cosmologists are still arguing about whether there are 9 or 11 dimensions AND the good folks are proposing the M theory. M stands for membrane. Membranes size is infinitely long and infinitely small. They think the big bang happened when two membranes collided. And they have math to prove that! And I forgot that all of this was in an effort to make Einstein's unified field theory work. There was an interesting little side bar at this web site. There was a lively discussion regarding how proud we are to be innumerate. Um,that means we are happy to be numerically ignorant. I think that thinking of complicated numbers can make you sleepy, so no wonder it takes 27 pages to describe parallel universes, they keep falling asleep.
