Today I learned that early lava lamps contained carbon tetrachloride; which, if you are exposed to high amounts of it for long enough, could put you in a coma and/or cause liver and kidney problems, cancer, or death.

Lovely. I’m very happy they stopped using it or my Yellow Submarine could have been a Yellow Deathtrap. ahdn_paul_01

 I learned that factoring is dividing other numbers into one number and hoping that you don’t end up with a remainder, so a factor of 10 would be 2, 5, 1, and 10.

I disagree, sometimes you screw up and if you trust no one with nothing, then you would need to do everything yourself.

I was talking more of trust issues, some people pretend to be trustworthy to your face but their actions say a lot of about them when you are not around

I learned, well not today, but in sixth grade, that you can determine the sum of any series of sequential numbers by applying the formula S=n(n+1)/2, where S is the sum and n is the highest number in the sequence.  So, if the highest number on a roulette wheel is 36, the sum of all the sequential constituent numbers would be 36 X 37=1,332; divided by 2=666. 

That little factoid has come in a lot less handy than you might think, but it has stuck in my head for some strange reason.

I have a good one today 

I was on the phone talking to my mother and I was telling her about my future trip to Liverpool.  My mum then Out Of The Blue said “Did I ever tell you I met The Beatles when I was 11”  cue total shock and wondering why I have not heard this before.  

The story went like this

My mum and her friend went down to a cinema where the Beatles were due to see if they could catch a glimpse of them.  When they got down they felt a bit nervous and out of their comfort zone because they were only 11 and everybody else was around 18.  My mothers friend then decided she needed to go to the toilet.  Being nervous they did not want to go into the cinema or a pub next door so my mothers friend decided to go down an alleyway and asked my mother to keep an eye out because of the amount of police around they thought they were in trouble.  

While my mother was keeping an eye out two cars arrived down the alleyway to the back of the cinema and five people got out of the car, one in a suit and four in jeans and jumpers (The Beatles). All of them said Hello Little Girl as they were led in the door by a woman.  

My mother told her friend who just went in the door because my mothers friend was too nervous to come out because she heard the cars and thought they were the police 🙂  Something tells me they should not have been down there 🙂 

My mothers friend must have kicked herself for not coming out

Great story!  Do you know when and where it was?  We could find it on Joe’s timeline if we know a little more about it. Or one of our Forum historians could undoubtedly pinpoint it. Were the lads saying hello to your mother or were they greeting the woman who led them in?  Was the fifth guy Brian? Mal?  This is too good not to know more about.

Was it in Dublin @Gagamee ? That matches up with their Adelphi Cinema concerts on 7th November 1963. 

If it was in Belfast, it could have been on the 8th November 1963 at the Ritz Cinema.

 

Either way, that’s pretty cool!

definitely not little baby animals, and things are only babies when they’re completely helpless.

But they are completely helpless. What can they do to save themselves from being turned into purses and pillows? Nothing. Their fate is set in stone and they have no choice in the matter nor do they have the ability to revolt against the dirty savage humans who confine and slaughter them.

If their fate is set in stone, no point bring it up since if it is truly set in stone than we can’t change it so it would be better to focus on problems that aren’t set in stone.

It’s called survival of the fittest, Evangelina. Ostriches are allowed to kill people in the wild, and people are even allowed to kill ostriches in the wild (unless there’s a law against it, I guess). The only problem with this is that humans actually have a bad superiority complex and think that we are a lot stronger and powerful than we truly are. Most humans probably would not be able to take an ostrich in the wild. Also, two wrongs don’t make a right. You can’t argue that ostriches deserve to be made into purses just because they kill humans.

If ostriches can’t protect themselves from humans then they deserve to die, isn’t that what “survival of the fittest” means? If we humans wouldn’t be able to “take” an ostrich in the wild why are purses and pillows still made from ostriches? Humans are superior to animals because we have the brains and the know-how to make things and provide a better life for ourselves. If animals could do that, then they would be considered human.

Same applies to people, we are more fit than the ostriches since we have our intellect which can be used as a weapon allowing people to so easily conquer the ostriches. People forget that we are also animals and are just as much apart of nature as any other animal. Beavers build dams, we build buildings, it’s our adaption that has been developing for thousands of years.

Humans are powerful, power doesn’t equal physical strength.

My own thought is if you go into ostrich territory you deserve to be eaten or attacked. Humans are the problem. Hate how people think they can walk near to an animal in he wild and if it attacks them it deserves to die; am very much on the other side of no you deserve to get eaten, beaten whatever.
