Sir David Attenborough: The Truth About Climate Change

What happen just before 1900s?
Isn't Al'Gore house a massive pollutant?

Should I do a proper post with research rather than this lazy one as a resurrection?

Look at the graph before 1900s something massive happen and it gets my interest more than the current nobel news :P

Yikes

6 Biology students are now out :(

This is getting scary... they are accepting more students than last year but same labs with even less funding

History of the Middle Finger

A friend in facebook (one of those that i saw once and thats it) posted the following story:

--
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future.

This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").

Much to the bewilder ment of the French, the English ! won a m ajor upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew!

Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F, and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute!

It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird." IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!


And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing!!!!!!!

However wikipedia does not mention it... so I guess its not true :P
Does mention another salute though.

Mhe still interesting so I'm posting it to save for later

Good old days of proper insults

Yeah, as a gamer we know all about the "trash talk" ... but to be attacked in such a way as the ones summarized here on digg; those are priceless.
Deserve this posting

Parents visit and presents

So, lets see what I can post before boss starts running around the lab.

So last weekend my parents visited given the special occasion ... and no its not about the longest day on summer... and so I got to see them again.
Which is kinda funny, at the beginning you start laughing at parents being parents again, mom arranging everything and overall telling you what to do... then it gets kinda annoying again :P
I'm such a bad son.

Anyways back on track they visited me, and got to see the University... unfortunately it was a rainy day so we didn't do much walking.


That is the building I'm working at the moment.

Hey I took a picture with my mom also and I can not find it... so I will post about her on the this one.


Taken at Bubba Gump restaurant in Chicago. Yes expensive, but heck... its my b-day :P
I order one of the kids drinks that lets you keep the drink :)

So we also took a tour though the river was pretty nice... and then we had to go shopping :(


Anyways on my way back I got cards and a cool presents from my Bro and sis-in-law YAY.

Grim Fandango, one of the greatest games of all time metabelieve it ... which I thought it was point and click but I have to control my character through Gamepad or numpad... its odd.
Anyways just the voices that they have are funny.

My brother plan was to keep me from WoW... but my new best friend, who I've never met, although rumor has it that might change, decided to give me the expansion :P

Now I have to play both to keep everyone happy :P

Now... to find time for ME and play Company of Heroes... :P

Finally

well not really, don't see things changing, but this interesting article on digg

Though truth be told... I didn't finish reading it :P

gotta love these part

"The rational way to understand this is that ordinary, oppressed Americans are in a deep psychological state of self-delusion. Despite all the empirical, objective evidence of a failed government, they fail to see rebellion opportunities. Many still believe they live in the world’s best democracy."

"Why is there insufficient pain for revolution? This is a deadly serious issue. What is historically unique about America is that even the most oppressed and unfairly treated people are distracted by affordable materialism, entertainment, sports, gambling, and myriad other aspects of our frivolous, self-absorbed culture. Even failed school and health care systems do not drive people, paying enormous sums to fill up their SUVs, to rebellion. So, Americans are aware of their oppression, but the power elites have successfully drugged them with a plethora of pleasure-producing distractions sufficient to keep them under control."

Nope I was not looking through a telescope, but through a microscope.
