It's true! He said he only likes the singing parts so the slow part in the beginning he doesn't like and the guitar solo music break he doesn't like.

I love this song & clip!

Howdy 5, MC and everyone else!

MC, it seems that your husband has very strange and selective taste in music.

 

[Moon Child]

You could say that. We do share some music tastes, like Maiden, which I take credit for getting him into but most of the time, there's stuff I like that he doesn't.

Last night, in a place in the south east of the Netherlands, a temperature of -13,3 was recorded.
You Fins, Norwegians, Swedes and North Americans are going to laugh about this, but:
In our country, this was the lowest temperature ever measured halfway March.

There's a live webcam stream up from the Vatican in case people are bored and would like to watch the Sistine Chapel chimney all day (endless fun and excitement)

Hehehe.

I thought this was great! Awesome dad is awesome:

I have to say for such a beautiful Chapel the chimney is frighteningly average...

Here's a riddle: Do perfect circles, or perfectly straight lines exist in nature?

I dunno if anyone has answered this, but isn't a pupil a perfect circle? That's the only thing I can think of.

 

[Perun]

I never thought about that, but you're right!

Now the only occasion I can think of when a straight line occurs in nature is when you drop a weight attached to a string. Know what I mean?

 

[Wästed The Great]

I do exactly what you mean. Hmm. I'd say that's the only thing I can think of. Although, that's affected by a human to get that way.

 

[Perun]

But it's an observation that could be made in nature. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense how straight lines turned out to be so important to humans: The straighter (is that even a word?) a spear or arrow is, the better it flies. A bowstring is perfectly straight if the bow is well built. Could that be a reason for the importance straight lines have in our sense of aesthetics?

 

[Wästed The Great]

That would make sense. I would think that, somehow, humans figured it was faster to walk in a straight line than follow a curved path.

 

[Perun]

That's also an interesting idea. As far as I remember, the first hominid footsteps to proceed in a straight line.

This is true in the conventional Mathematics aged 2500 years. In 18th century or something one student of German mathematic Gauss did an experiment. He assumed that the 5th axiom of Euclid is not valid and started to construct a logic world. He expected to face a wall, to arrive to the impossible, but he didn't.

A non Euclidian geometry was born. I believe there are 3 of them today. In those Geometries, the shortest path between two points IS NOT a straight line.

Remember, our conventional mathematics (but even the more modern ones, like the mentioned) are a poor translation of a very small portion of the whole.
