There is water at the bottom of the ocean - David Byrne

About Me

I love tea, playing piano in the dark, avacado maki, edamame, mexican food, indian food, my cats, France, and vegan treats. I hate entertainment news shows, the words "guesstimate" and "brain-fart", When people say fewer when they mean less, it makes me grind my teeth. Nothing does a song more injustice than calling it a "tune" or a "cut" or a "track". I am in an orchestral pop group called the heavy blinkers and a own and operate my own sunshine factory SCIENCE FACT #1 Recently scientists discovered that the answer to the "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" debate is the egg. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life. Therefore, the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. So, in light of this development, I am free to make tea and watch test patterns. SCIENCE FACT &# #2 When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 million to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300o C. The Russians used a pencil
