Jell-o fracture

November 18, 2008

You know, I was eating jell-o when I noticed something about the way they broke when you scoop it with a spoon. They seem to break in a pattern that ends up similar to an igneous rock called an obsidian:

I wonder if the process that leads them to break that way are similar, or if it is a big coincidence.


“There is no spoon Virus”

Or at least that is what this fool says. (Say it in Neo’s voice! ^_^) Yeah, forget modern science, they are too elitist, money grubbers, conspiracy junkies, who know nothing despite centuries of studies, but I know better than those stupid scientists, forget this is the 21st century, Yeah! Yeah, I don’t know. It is one of those what the *bleep* moments… It seems like this one is one of those fringe lunatics in the world of alternative medicines. This one, though, is quiet excessive extremely stupid, I repeat, really concentrated form of stupid, a stupid so stupid that such stupid could tear the fabric of space and time, a stupid so stupid that untrained readers could have brain damage and be in a vegetable state by the end of it. This guy denies the germ theory of diseases and makes arguments so stupid… Orac has a full takedown on this. I just recommend you to be ready for a good laughter against that idiot.

Once, Aristotle wrote about what consisted of a perfect tragedy, Oedipus Rex (the king) being the perfect one. Someone should write a book about what consists of the perfect woo too, this one being the perfect one, and all the other woos should be held to this standard.

Madness?! This is Megaman 9!!!

November 18, 2008

Actually, it is both. Yes, it is too paradoxical for your little minds to grasp, like particle-wave duality (me, trying to impose physics on you? Pfftt, where did you get that from… *acting paranoid*) But since I am merciful, I will slowly attempt to describe the utter madness of the game, so that you can dig it in your feeble mind. ^_^ Oh, and don’t take this as a criticism of the game, I really enjoy it, it’s just that I haven’t played something this hard for such a long time that I forgot how it used to be, K?
