What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

In summary, the conversation consists of various discussions about documentaries, the acquisition of National Geographic by Fox, a funny manual translation, cutting sandwiches, a question about the proof of the infinitude of primes, and a realization about the similarity between PF and PDG symbols. The conversation also touches on multitasking and the uniqueness of the number two as a prime number.

I am glad to hear that. :biggrin: Is there a trial period for you to understand real me ? Whatever I say is only words which probably wouldn't convince you at all.

I think this is a little cute and funny at the same time. I like the reaction faces so I felt like sharing: https://tapastic.com/episode/408481

At the moment I decided to post this it had over 137k views. A few minutes later the counter updated to over 146k views and it's still growing. It looks like it's been shared everywhere. Check it out if you want to laugh a little. :smile: Here is a preview. Cheers for the author.

And that place has other who are also very funny, like this one from the same author: https://tapastic.com/episode/118152

I must say, the reaction faces are awesome. Specially the shocking faces :DD.

If I played ' go fetch ' with a dog, using a boomerang, I wonder how long it would take for the dog to notice there was something strange going on.

Maybe it is not such a good form , when you're competitor says " may the best person win" , to say " Thanks!".

The correct polite way should be: "Pft. Robert, please, you know I will win."

Strange sign at a Hillary rally: " Love Trumps war". Why would anyone love Trump's war? And why would they be in Hillary's rally? Then I realized there was no apostrophe in 'Trumps'. Still, pretty weird phrasing. How about: " Love Trumps War, but Trump Loves War"?

Good reason to visit Manchester
Archaeologists have uncovered a forgotten 200-year-old pub beneath the city of Manchester, England. And the best part? It still has full, untouched bottles of brandy inside, The Independent reports. Archaeologists discovered the underground pub — once known as the Astley Arms — when they were brought into inspect the site of a future skyscraper. During the excavation, they found pottery belonging to Thomas Evans, who was the landlord of Astley Arms in 1821.

Probably an antiwar statement. Some folks think Hillary is hawkish .

i hope Salon is an acceptable source. (Wikipedia says they're liberal.)

It’s not just Libya, though. Almost every time there was an internal disagreement within the Obama administration about whether to use force, Clinton could be found on the interventionist side. She successfully pushed for an escalation of the war in Afghanistan, and has been open about her desire to intervene further in Syria.

Says will be there at 1:00 PM, but arrives earlier and only opens the door at 1:01 PM. Then says on purpose: "I'm sorry I'm late..."

Well I'd never expect that a trilogy of music videos would be one of the sickest stories I'd experience at anyone time.

For those that aren't afraid of gore and great trash metal, check out the videos that come with slayers last album.

I just had some thoughts that led me to a revelation about how the world operates and so, reminded me what an amazing place it is to be in. Of course its an amazing time too, because of all the knowledge we now have that makes us see this great beauty around us.
But it also reminded me how much I hate hidden variable theories and the many worlds interpretation(not sure about the latter!), because they completely destroy that beautiful structure.

They're probably in the air. I have the same problem with my fish tanks.
Some days, it seems that they've been finally defeated, but the next day, they are back and they are stronger!

William Maillis started accurately identifying numbers at 6 months old and speaking in complete sentences at just 7 months old. He followed with a range of http://hsrd.yahoo.com/RV=1/RE=1476454441/RH=aHNyZC55YWhvby5jb20-/RB=/RU=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb3N0LWdhemV0dGUuY29tL25ld3MvZWR1Y2F0aW9uLzIwMTYvMDkvMTYvUGl0dHNidXJnaC1QZW5uLVRyYWZmb3JkLUhpZ2gtU2Nob29sLWdlbml1cy1XaWxsaWFtLU1haWxsaXMtYXR0ZW5kaW5nLWNvbGxlZ2UtYXQtOS15ZWFycy1vbGQvc3Rvcmllcy8yMDE2MDkxNjAwMDMA/RS=%5EADAorJY76yptDsHCNziJla5gsg.5AY- , including doing addition at 21 months; multiplication, reading and writing at 2 years old; algebra, sign language and reading Greek at age 4; geometry at 5 and trigonometry at 7.

William was originally turned down when he tried to enroll in kindergarten at age 4 after failing an entrance readiness test.

I think I remember a discussion of whether or not gray (or grey) is a colour from 4th grade. Many sources identify gray as a color, and Wikipedia's article mentions it as an achromatic color, or an intermediate color (shade?) between white and black.

This morning I watched local TV news and heard an 11 year old boy was run over by a big container truck while trying to cross the street with his bicycle. That is truly horrible and I was truly shocked.

Apparently Google Maps is not updated often enough. Had to travel like an extra hour to make up for it. As amazing as it is, I need to complain about its minor problems ;).

Indifferent.

Even when Google Maps is up to date, the local authorities here sometimes seem to allow major roads to be closed for roadworks without telling anyone. A few days ago we were returning in the evening from London and avoided the M3 motorway because of a scheduled closure by going via the A31 trunk road, but suddenly came to a road closed sign and a diversion via a much longer route on minor roads. Google Maps was still showing the main road as clear. Unfortunately, the diversion signs were misleading (we later realized that one was pointing the wrong way, probably left over from a previous occasion) and we ended up going in a loop, but the second time round we managed to escape.

Only a couple of days ago on the way home we passed two junctions where there were very similar "Diverted traffic" signs pointing BOTH right and left for traffic coming from our direction. That's worse than useless!
