Calvin and Hobbes

I’m starting to think that Calvin might be my long lost twin brother (if you don’t pay attention to little details like him being a six year old boy and, well, a figment of someone’s imagination)…

Where would we be without air? It is one of the most essential basics for us humans.

Yet, most of us seem to underestimate the hidden uses of air by only relying on it for breathing. What hidden uses, you say? (Yes, you do. Admit it.) Well, it seems that one creative mind certainly likes to think out-of-the-box and has thereby discovered a quite imaginative approach to air (and its hidden uses). Throw some garbage bags in and you’re all set for an original -to say the least- display of art. Enjoy!

Do you ever get the feeling of standing still, while everyone else seems to be rushing by you?

I do. It’s a strange feeling. Like you’re temporarily in a completely different dimension than other people.

But I’ve never really felt it the other way round – rushing by while others are standing still.

Today I’ve decided to give you all a glimpse into the wacky (yes, that is the correct word) world of Psychology. And in particular, a link posted on our virtual blackboard by one of the professors.

Apparently ‘a magazine’ held a competition, inviting its readers to submit new scientific theories on any subject. Below is the winner.

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet. And when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat’s back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground.

If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

This theory received a reply from another reader. Continue reading The Theory Of Purrpetual Motion…

Through his genius comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson showed me today that the mind of a college student does not differ much from that of a six year old. Behold.

Turn The Box Around

Today I was reading a random magazine which had a few pages dedicated to humorous anecdotes from readers. Two of those short stories made me smile, so I’ve decided to post ‘em here (just in case I might need some relief from any future depressing mood).

I’m the manager at an electronics store, and ordered part number 669 at the manufacturer. When the package arrived I noticed they sent me the wrong part, namely number 699. I sent it back with an angry letter. The next day I received the new supply. It was the same package, but this time accompanied by a note reading: “Turn the box around.”

If you thought that one was funny - like I did – you should definitely read the next one too. Continue reading Turn The Box Around…
