Don't shoot him. Just don't. This is pure Zen.

a burning toothpick in a microwave: is this plasma? Why didn't I know about this years ago?

how to dismantle many things. Does not include lives or relationships.
There are some things in life that one can safely miss. This is one. More similar food excellence by navigating.
Fish "tacos".. Are they not really tacos? Or ... tacos, nudge nudge wink wink
My local supermarket has a free advert board like this. It is used by that odd group of people who use quote marks for emphasis.
thus
Mazda 626 registered till "June 06" Presumably the June 06 is because they edited the June 01 rego sticker carefully with a marker pen?
But my favourite is written in that little-old-lady handwriting and just reads "Massage" table
an open-source-y approach to new ideas. Such as adjustable high heels
Etiquette and an almost mathematical precision show us a nice way to wrap parcels
More on the difference between how many and how much.
When things hurt, the scientist in some of us looks for a pain scale
Without going into the old "how do we tell if sensation is linear or logarithmic" debate, here is one such scale
Can one think without language? Does it depend on our definition of thinking? Or of language? Or is it our defn of thinking and language?
As always one can get an idea of the shape of things by looking at their edges. Such as how deaf peope think
This article tries to take this approach.
These are good problems to argue in bed, I expect.
I have had just about enough of the Bible quotes from people who can't think for themselves. Really, it serves no purpose except to irritate me and make you look like a fool. Yes, You. With the long hair.
Here is one in return. It is Psalm 137:9.
It comes only a few lines after Psalm 137:1, which is used in a few spiritual songs and runs "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion"
But 8 verses later we have:
Psalm 137:9. "How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock." Lovely?
Please don't bother me again with quotes from sources as inconsistent as this. Just go visit here instead, and use your brain. I assume that to be possible despite the evidence to the contrary.
Apollo 12 astronauts had a small book of flight procedures in a "cuff checklist" book. The book included a couple of ... unexpected ... images
For example this and this. The entire book is also on the NASA site at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a12/cuff12.html
In this image, there is the complete script of a film. Pulp Fiction, in fact (the source of the obligatory poster in all arts student share houses)
Click and enlarge if you don't believe me.

[ the number or the amount? ]
"To understand the two different modes of evaluating amounts, imagine picking the shortest checkout line at the grocery store. You could count the number of shoppers in each, in which case you'd be thinking discretely, in terms of numerosity. However, if you were a hurried shopper, you would probably take a quick glance over each line and pick the one that seemed the shortest, thinking in terms of continuous quantity."
A study by neuroscientists at University College London and Caltech has dentified the region of the brain active in performing basic mathematical concepts such as counting and arithmetic. It also explains how our minds differentiate between "how many" objects we see or "how much" of something is in a particular space.
the number of students or the amount of students?
