Science and history = happy katie. If I would have gotten ontop of things in highschool I’d probably be in biology or geology right now. But I’m not willing to go back and do grades 11 and 12 bio/phys/chem just to do it.

Anyway, I’m doing this quick time because I still need to study a lot, and its 1 am … aka 7 hours until I need to leave for my exam. Shit shit shit.

First we’ll start with a couple "world’s oldest" things… The world’s oldest ritual and the world’s oldest computer. Stupid Romans and their Greek hating asses, we could have had some hyper stellar technology going on today.

This experiment with a Ruben’s Tube is really simple, but its also entertaining to watch fire. (Speaking of cool experiments… I made 8 mobius strips today while not studying. You look at it and you’re like, this is so simple! But check out the geometry behind it! Coool.)

I always knew that a praying mantis was one to watch out for… if you were another praying mantis, but I wasn’t aware that birds are at risk too. Some more enviromentalish things, I think I’ve posted about them before, but green cemeteries are cool and I’d like to be buried there if my body can’t be used for science. Here is an article worth reading about climate change and another on ecology and economics, I find that one incredibly interesting… the merging/clashing/conflict of the environment and economics has always captured me.

And now a few links that have nothing to do with science or history - I really like Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, you should go to that site and listen to his music. Its fantastic. I hope I get to meet him one day, people with such amazing musical talent have so much of my respect and groupie love. …Maybe next time I’m in New York I’ll be able to hear it live *hopes*. Speaking of New York, see some street pictures, and some beneath the street pictures. The underground ones are really great… but they all make me miss New York, a lot.

And that’s going to have to be it from me… Unless I can find the video I want to put in less than 3 minutes… ready… set… go…
Woot, I found it… you’ll have to trust that it took me less than three minutes. A pool filled with non-newtonian fluid…cooool

    Wicked links this time. Greeks were so interesting thats one time period I wish I were a part of instead of the one that is destroying the earth.

    Isn’t Lindsay one of Secret Society’s groupies? Ask her when the best time is to go to NY to catch them.

    Groupie is one way of putting it. My plan is to get in touch with her the next time I’m there to try and get in contact with SS… but that won’t be for a while.

    Trev - I’ve always thought it would be cool to be around during Greek times as well.

    The next show is in January; I have no idea about February, and I don’t think Darcy does, either.
