Exploding Water Balloon in Space

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Have a look at some videos of a water balloon exploding in space and other fluid experiments. The low gravity makes it suspend in an unearthly manner.

The Strangest Animals

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

While doing educational study for college, I was looking for some unconventional animals. Hemmy.com compiled a pretty good list of some popular animals and other lesser known strangers who don’t get much attention. There are pictures and description.

If 0.9999999… goes on infinitely adding nines after the decimal, will it equal 1? Yes. It catches people’s temporal senses off-guard, but Dr. Math shows us the mathematics and reasoning behind this. Infinity is 1 although it may seem that you are always a speck short. But infinity of 9’s lingers as long as One [...]

Lipsum Generator will whiz up some Latin text as filler content or dummy body copy to be copied into your design layout, typography testing, or that essay you forgot about that’s due for class tomorrow. This will save you hours of time typing out Hamlet or your client’s life story by hand.
