Cats vs. Dogs Round 52

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Cats have over 100 vocal sounds, while dogs only have about 10.

So I’m guessing dogs compensate for that by making their barks extra loud?

Lego

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Because I miss playing with LEGO, here’s a bit of trivia for you about it:

LEGO comes from the Danish, ‘LEg GOdt,’ which means “play well”.

Garfield’s Hidden Talent

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

And I don’t mean the cat.

It’s said that President James A. Garfield (of  USA) could simultaneously write in Latin with one hand and in Greek with the other.

Now that’s taking ambidexterity to another level.

Moving Rocks

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Stumbled upon a Wiki site that I thought was extremely interesting.

Did you know that there’s a record of stones that move by themselves? Called the "sailing stones", "sliding rocks", or "moving rocks", these can be found in Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California. Nobody knows why these move: the rocks are too heavy to be moved by wind. Other factors are also not considered, since if water or anything else moved them, the tracks of the rocks would’ve been disturbed. They also couldn’t have been moved by humans, because the footprints would’ve appeared on the ground pretty easily (the soil/sand is such that anything that happens on the surface level would leave marks on it).

You can read more about it here.

So is that why the place is called Racetrack Playa? Because the rocks race each other?

Becha Didn’t Notice That…

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

The "save" icon in Microsoft Word shows a floppy disk with the shutter on backwards.

It’s not like people would actually notice, anyway. I mean, who uses diskettes these days?
