The best of both worlds

"The part where the dragon knocked Harry"

It seems that when slush touches the road, traffic completely dies. Everyone decides it's the best time to play bumper tag. Our bus arrived at the school at 8:25! Horrid! :o Luckily algeo was forgiving and the test wasn't immensely long.

So I call today the first day there was any real snow, not just the light flurries that dissolve when it goes near the ground.

It's windy.

You are insipid iff you are innocuous.

Ah, so as report cards arrive the tests go away, so it's a relatively low-pressure weekend.

Plus snow! :O

It's a good time to hear hippos and piglets sing.

Too apathetic to make a post title

Let's hope none of you are suffering from Acute Senioritis! :o If you are, or think you might be, I have no idea who you should contact, so best look elsewhere.

On a different note, if physics where to whirl me in a circular pattern at the end of a rope with a velocity of 140 m/s, how long would it take until either the rope snaps or I snap?

Restitute!

Some of Hammurabi's Codified Laws:

128. If a man take a woman to wife, but have no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him.

132. If the "finger is pointed" at a man's wife about another man, but she is not caught sleeping with the other man, she shall jump into the river for her husband.

155. If a man betroth a girl to his son, and his son have intercourse with her, but he (the father) afterward defile her, and be surprised, then he shall be bound and cast into the water.

249. If any one hire an ox, and God strike it that it die, the man who hired it shall swear by God and be considered guiltless.


Obviously Hammurabi's Laws are great practice for Geometry and Discrete Mathematics in working with conditional statements.

"If this woman is no wife to him, then he take a woman to wife, but have no intercourse with her." (true)

"If he shall be bound and cast into the water, then he betroth a girl to his son, and his son have intercourse with her, but he (the father) afterward defile her, and be surprised." (may be true)

The tops of taro and the roots of rice

If you were wondering how humans came to be according to a Chinese legend:

"[Fuyi and his sister] came across a turtle which said the two of them should marry. Fuyi and his sister said, "How can a brother and a sister marry?" and said if the turtle can come back to life after they beat it to death, they would marry. They beat the turtle to death, whereupon it laughed and crawled away. A bamboo also told them to marry; they cut it down, and it came back to life and laughed as they left. Venus spoke to them, and told them to build fires on two different mountains, and if the smoke columns joined, they could marry. They did so, and the smoke columns came together. Venus laughed, and the brother and sister married. They gave birth to a fleshball. Not knowing what to do with it, they minced it up and scattered the pieces, and the pieces became men and women."

Enthalpy of reaction of a tripeptide as it approaches x=3

(1) Tomorrow -> Chem Unit Test + Stress . . . . ΔHº=-52901 KJ
(2) Bio Unit Test + Calc Limits Quiz -> Tomorrow + Panic . . . . ΔHº=-7.94x10^56 KJ

Target Equ: Tomorrow -> Chem Unit Test + Bio Unit Test + Calc Limits Quiz + Death

Calculate the enthalpy change.

Ans: D.N.E.

Somebody (flavour) shot the food
