[ art from driftwood ]
Ok, i'll agree this sounds like the sort of crap that gets called "craft", like pet rocks and those god-awful crying child dolls. But this lot is actually rather good.
[ the Gematriculator ]
"Gematria is searching for different patterns through the text, such as the amount of words beginning with a vowel. If the amount of these matches is divisible by a certain number, such as 7 (which is said to be God's number), there is an incontestable argument that the Spirit of God is ever present in the text. Another important aspect in gematria are the numerical values of letters: A=1, B=2 ... I=9, J=10, K=20 and so on."
(in case anyone wanted to know:
[ transformational geometry of cornrow hairstyles ]
History, software and mathematics of that wonderful cornrow hair braiding that looks so great on African and Caribbean kids.
[ the mathematical power laws of size ]
Take a creature. Double its scale. Its linear dimensions double. Its areal dimensions increase by a factor of 2^2 (eg, its lung area, skin area). It s volumetric dimensions change by a factor of 2^3.
So there ought to be some simple laws describing the functions that depend on two or more of these (eg, body heating/cooling depends on both volume of protoplasm and area of surface)
[ odd social study ]
The results of a five-year research study, published in the current Journal of Psychological Sexuality.
Only one thought: President Bush ? PRESIDENT BUSH?
Cmon!!! Please, say it isn't so...
[ 12 days of eBay ]
Moderately clever
[ sand drawing fun ]
Ooooh. who might have fun with this?
[ Universal Decision Maker ]
Coin-tossing too boring? Use this to make your crucial decisions..
[ More good maths stuff from John Allen Paulos ]
An excellent bunch of stuff. Including an interesting section on mathematics that a President should know.
[ Living Doll }
Sharon is a professional living doll. She has a website. And she has worked at the "World's Largest Indoor Flea Market" in Miami, Florida, and the Dupage County Fair in Wheaton, Illinois. Is that not enought recommendation?
Sharon Hallingdal has confounded audiences of all ages as the strolling Living Doll at Fairs, Parties and Conventions throughout the United States and Canada.
Audiences of all ages are fascinated by her hydraulic like motions, and delighted by the humorous situations that spontaneously arise when they find themselves interacting with a real-live robot!!"The expressions on faces of children are priceless". I ndeed.
[ Pope's Address ]
c/o The Vatican
Vatican City
OK perhaps more relevant: Pope Benedict delivered a Christmas message in which he warned of the evils of technology.
Ironically this was broadcast live on TV to millions of people, and is probably available from the Vatican website.
Devout Catholics dismiss it as yet another mystery of the church, along with transubstantiation, the miracle at Lourdes, the ongoing financial investment success of the Church and the progressive conviction of increasing numbers of clergy on child abuse charges
[ Ok you work it out ]
This is strangely compulsive
[ Secret life of teaspoons ] Your tax dollars at work:
A group of scientists from the Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research and Public Health in Melbourne secretly numbered 70 teaspoons and tracked their movements over five months.
[ play tic tac toe. Against a chicken ]
Why not? It's as pointless as most other games.
[ He's been quiet of late }
Why you havent got any text messages from Jesus recenty.
[ artificial constructs and manifestations of beauty ]
The fashion industry exposed. Click and see real vs fake (takes a while to load). Sad that so many people get so caught up in this.
[ beauty and symmetry: a new study }
At one stage I would have agreed with this. And this must have been a fascinating study. I have some data based on powers of 3 that they may wish to use. Though there are some situations when asymmetry is as appealing as symmetry. I think it depends.
[ taxi ride ]
take a taxi ride: there are more active keys than are suggested at first....
