• In my desire to procrastinate...

  I came across this article, while trying to avoid finishing up a research paper.  I found it to be very fascinating.  What I like are all the cool theories that they are trying to apply.  Some of those theories almost sound like they are out of Star Trek, but in fact Star Trek got the ides from those theories.  Now all we need is Zefram Cochrane to come around and develop warp technology.  We have the ability to create anti-matter, it's just a matter of creating a system to contain it.  Once that is figured out the rest should be easy.  If you can understand all that, you are just as big a nerd as I am.

  
  

  This article was also interesting.  Makes me think twice about eating a fast food hamburger.  However, I have to question the validity of the experiment.  Think about it, for a burger to be preseved for that amount of time the chemical constant will have to be near poisonous levels.  Not to mention the near ideal conditions that would need to exist.  For one thing there would have to be low to little humidtiy to reduce the likely hood of spoilage and furthermore the temprature would need to remain stable to ensure no parasite and mildew growth.  Anybody willing to try this experiment.

  
  

  I think for my next entry I will leave it to a vote.  Since asking for suggestions will lead to multiple ideas, I think giving a choice about you would like to hear about from me would be more prudent.  So here are the choices:

  
  

  A.  Food

  
  

  B.  Politics

  
  

  C.  Relationships or lack thereof
