Ok then, I'm off to the nudist beach.

The post count was unintentional; Honest!

p.s. sorry

Why? That just had me really laughing out loud.

More pics of the Passion Fruit Flower. It's too unbelievable.

I'll probably do it, but for now the answer is 42.

I just put together another CD for my car; this one contains more than an hour of Tchaikovsky's finest works. I just hope I don't do something stupid while driving and listening to the finale of the 1812 Overture.

I dunno. The idea of strapping a canon to your car and driving around shooting it off in time with the 1812 is almost as good as dropping napalm from helicopters blaring Die Valkirie.

When they arrest you, you could sniff deep and say something like, "I love the smell of cordite in the morning..."

They look like Dr Seuss drew them.

Look out Buddy (my duck). The female was circling above while the male was perched on my power pole just waiting.

@ thanks for the pic. -edited it a bit
Hope you don't mind, say hello to Torty from me.

Ignoring elephants is a misinformation, worth a ban.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Awesome!

Yeah. I wish all my neighbors with dogs would get tortoises instead.

They look like Dr Seuss drew them.

Hmmm...he used to live in La Jolla, a little north of here. That would explain them.

Interesting. What does it mean?

Reminds me of a Turkish postdoc student ... apparently written Turkish is a completely phonetic language - if you can say the alphabet, you can read anything correctly. There are no "double letter" sounds - e.g. th is always pronounced as in "hot-house", not as in "this" or "that".

The post-doc was very fond of using numbered lists of points in his presentations. And the t-hird one in the list usually raised a smile...

Oh no, I see the old obsolete Bohr model in the new Physics Forums logo . I...can't...breathe...help...I...am...suffocating...

Ban 'A Brief History Of Time' first then me -Anyway Hawking's version is more popular than any hindu myths [Though I think he uses tortoises in the story...] and also including an elephant [or four, if you prefer] may have led to confusion...
( Want an elephant- just upload me a pic )

Running out of gum and coffee-need to get some ASAP.

My work seems to almost end here, I am still trying to move around to learn something new if any, to discover new bugs, etc. But everything would probably be around and around from now, there 'll be nothing really new with an old system to be upgraded. This is one of the reasons I personally am interested in changing my career from time to time. I need a fulltime job to work with one project for some months then change to another, which is really more interesting. Or trying to get drowsed with more than one project at the same time is what I may likely prefer... bored a little...

In his travels among the Plains Indians in the 1830's, artist George Catlin met a shaman who told him the world was supported by a giant tortoise at each of the four cardinal compass points. The next day, the same shaman mentioned the Earth was resting on the back of one giant tortoise. Catlin stopped him and said, "Yesterday you told me it was FOUR giant tortoises." The shaman made a sour face and walked away.

It's interesting how many primitive peoples all over the world seem to have picked the tortoise to support it. Probably because it explains how the world could be so stable, usually, but also move sometimes, as in earthquakes.

 

[Enigman]

Actually, I think there was another version of the myth in Hindu mythology: Instead of Four tortoises it was four elephants which stood on a giant tortoises.
The Norse explanation is my favorite: Loki* the miscreant god was chained and locked in a cave with a snake kept over his head, the snake would drop his venom on Loki but fortunately for him his wife would catch the falling venom in a bowl but when the bowl got filled up a few drops of venom would fall on Loki while his wife emptied the bowl, Loki writhed in pain causing earthquakes.

*Yes, the guy from Avengers.

All of those tv commercials with cartoon characters singing and dancing about how awesome Blue Diamond Almond Milk is, so I broke down and paid almost $4 for a half gallon container.

I got it home, shook it up well, anticipating a wonderful taste of almonds, it's soy free and lactose free and...Flavor free!

Well, not completely flavor free, it tasted like someone had wrung out a piece of cardboard in a large vat of water, giving the water a slightly "off" taste. If someone had handed it to me without telling me what it was, I would have to say it was cold, dirty water.

I don't get it, why would anyone pay for this? I was going to use it on cereal, but it's just like water.

Would I recommend this to anyone? HELL NO!

And I'm requesting my money back, it's really that tasteless.

Aw too bad, I love the stuff! But it's hard for me to digest, ironically. Did you get Original or...what's the other one, Vanilla?

You need a forecast to know it will be raining? I was under impression it is lack of rain that is worth of forecasting.

Wow. I leave for a few months and the site has a brand-new look. I like it!

 

[Evo]

Aw too bad, I love the stuff!

I thought you drank the almond silk (soy) stuff. I didn't try that because I tasted soy milk once.

Did you get Original or...what's the other one, Vanilla?

Original.

Ok, I just gave it another try.

No, I cannot drink this stuff. Maybe it's a medication I'm on affecting something in it. It has no aroma, and this time it tasted bad, as opposed to yesterday when it just tasted "not good". If you were near me, I'd give it to you.

Today, the outcome could have been:

• horrible,
• really, really bad, or
• bad but we can live with it.

All were equally likely. Turned out to be, bad but we can live with it. So, I'm happy.

I just love it when you have a bottle with 200 tiny pills in it and the cap won't come off until suddenly, it pops off and the pills go flying all over the room. Finally, you manage to pick all of the pills up and place them back into the bottle, then as you go to set it on the counter, it slips and falls and...
