Womens Domestic Capability

Fuck it. That'll do.

I think this is Women's attitude to cleaning compared to men's. And this is why I think this.

Women can multitask

This is true.  Human multitasking is the best performance by an individual of appearing to handle more than one task at the same time. And Women do better at it as the part of our brains that allow us to multitask is actually thicker (allowing for more brain power so to speak) then men's.

But!

The brain cannot fully focus when multitasking, and people take longer to complete tasks and are predisposed to error, which is why although women can multitask better, the task's that we carry out are usually not done to it's fullest. For instance; In the morning I always wipe down the kitchen side after I gorge down my breakfast but I never get right into the corners of the counter (although this could be down to laziness.) Men however, when they do a task they get right into it! I mean when you force them to or your lovely husband decides to surprise you by cleaning the counter, the corners of it are sparkling!

The reason why men typically are better at housework (although it always depends on the individual) is because they can't multitask very well so they complete every task to the fullest to compensate so to speak.

So for all these unfunny joke's made by douches (not all by men) about 'Women get back into the Kitchen' or 'Make me a Sandwich' how about YOU get into the kitchen and make me a Sandwich because your obviously better at it. BOOM! Roasted!    

 

IFA expo have a lot of Gadgets it's just no one can afford them

It can be suspected that this particular technology firm missed the news about there being a reccession as many of there new gadgets will most likely be left to gather dust on the shelves.

The annual IFA expo in Berlin is filled with the newest products - everything from the smartest mobile phones to the biggest TVs. Seriously if your a gadget guy you'd be in heaven! But some of this new technology is not only pointless but far too expensive. Take a look at this very fine specimen (I mean the Samsung Pavilion not the model with it.)

 

 

Something tells me I won't be needing this new technology anytime soon as I am very content with my mobile phone that look's like a brick but it definately is very impressive.

Worrying

Worrying because no one see's the point in themselves owning the latest and greatest gadgets and so firms that make new gadgets can never return there investments. Shows like the annual IFA used to direct the way the tech world would be in the months and years afterwards.

But with more people having money struggles it can be assumed that these companies will have to lower there prices of these new gadgets so that the majority can afford them and thus these companies can break even until the economy picks back up. Hopefully that will be soon which means good news for us and bad news for bankers!!!

 I can't wait to own whatever it is in the picture, finally I could impress all my other Nerd friends.

The advantage of being small

                                                Who wants to be tall?

In today's time, everyone is obsessed with height as they mistakenly assume that being tall means power over the little people. FUCK NO! In fact short people such as myself have so many more advantages compared to the tall people. And this post is going to explain why....


My science teacher is maybe about 6ft tall and always jokes about with me about how short I am. I am 5ft 3, and in the science lab he always has to reach the little test tube thingamabobs off of the shelf for me, because I just cant reach. But what most people do not know is that short people, many scientists hypothesis, that shorter people thrived better than the lanky people in prehistoric times.

Reason number 1;

Faster reaction time.

How are you going to survive in the wild if you cant react quick enough? The most probable reason why shorter people have quicker reaction time is because we aren't weighed down with really long bones and muscle. I can actually validate this as I have the quickest reaction time in my class with catching a ruler as measured in our science experiment.

Reason number 2;

Size isn't strength.

It's an evolutionary thing to not mess with the 7 ft  300 pound guy because you assume he could squish you. But Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Tony Jaa and Tom cruise are all very short guys and could probably beat any tall guy to the ground because of course they have the necessary training to do so. But it all depends on the individual as anyone with a brain cell can work out as some tall people could beat a small guy and some small guys can beat up the tall one. So this misconception that size equals strength is wrong, it's all about the individual.

Reason number 3;

Small people require less energy to function.

Being small you don't have to eat to much to feel satisfied and so in the wild you don't have to spend hours a day hunting for food as compared to a taller person.

Reason number 4;

Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.

People with a taller stature are more likely to have a heart attack or such likes because there heart has to beat harder to get the blood all around there body whereas a small person's heart doesn't have to because they only have a little body and can relax a lot more.

Reason number 5; 

We live for longer.

See all reason's above.

Being small isn't bad at all. I know were not living in a world where we are battling for survival and so all these reaons may seem obsolete because for whatever reason everyone is holding tall people up as the example of accomplishment. But hey, the tall people aren't making millions like this guy are they? Fuck no.

Talk to the hand.

My Favourite Equations

Hiya fellow Science geeks

Prepare yourself for some right nerdy post as I tell you some of the most beautiful equations that you should know in the universe. Who needs party tricks like back flipping or eyeballing vodka when you can impress all the chicks with your extensive knowledge on equations? I mean it worked for Einstein in getting laid why not the rest of us!

My Favourite equation number 1.

Newtons law of motion

 

Besides from being very simplistically beautiful it also describes how the moon goes round the earth.

 

My Favourite equation number 2.

Eulers Formulae

 

Describes two equivalent ways to move in a circle. This is the first one;

 

 

 

Here is the second one;

 

Last but not least my favourite equation number 3.

The Drake equation

 

The drake equation is an estimation of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

 

what the little symbols means;

 

R^* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy

f_p = the fraction of those stars that have planets

n_e = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets

f_ℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point

f_i = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life

f_c = the fraction of civilisations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space

L = the length of time for which such civilisations release detectable signals into space

 

 

 

Now I've given you all the equations to impress all the chicks at the bar so put on your best trousers and go pull some girls!

 

 

 

 

Although probably not these trousers....

 

 

Smarter kids are more likely to use drugs

 

Its True (Unfortunately)

Thankfully I do not know this from experience but from using the little peanut in my head. Many people would find this statement very surprising at first glance, but when you mull over it, it makes perfect sense.

Stimulation

My hypothesis is that children with higher IQ's and a higher dedication to learn will be more likely to try drugs at least once during there lifetime's.

You see, whether Adults like to admit it or not, school no longer serves a purpose. Its just a place in which we dump our children so that we can go to work, and since our youngsters and teenagers have no economic value anymore like they did back in the industrial period, we leave them in school because they would be in the way. (Which they probably wouldn't if we gave them a chance)

And in this school, it becomes a sort of prison environment, where the inhabitants live in a bubble. A bubble where there actions have no 'real' consequences. I remember a girl in my class was angry because she wasn't allowed to go on a school trip because she was due to be in seclusion that day (which they also do in prisons), and she said in her last school (she was excluded from the last) she pushed a girl down the stairs and broke her wrist but she was still allowed to go to a theme park the next day with the whole school. There are no real consequences when you live in a bubble because your actions only affect everyone locally, they don't actually even cause a blimp on the radar in the 'real' world. (The real world being the one where we all work and socialise with our co-workers.)

In the Bubble

So with a lack of consequences and without a purpose and no stimulation, children and teenagers very smartly and resourcefully create a little makeshift hierarchy and little world (like what happens in prison), in which nobody wants to be at the bottom of and so people claw to be at the top where they are safe.

But smart people who want to learn don't claw because they simply don't want to be popular. Instead what they want is to learn. And this is what makes them easy targets because they (or we if you classify yourself in this group) instead of going to parties, prefer to read book's and practise for that test on Monday morning. I'm not saying Nerd's don't want to conform, it's human nature to want to be part of the herd, but people who crave stimulation of the intellectual kind want to be smarter more than over being popular.

Have you ever wondered why poor white people from the southern states of America are one of the most racially abusive towards black people? (of course this does not apply to every white person from the southern states of America as I tend to find most of them quite sweet)


Often it's because Black people in there view are the only group of people in which they can tread on to make themselves appear to be higher up the hierarchy. Which is wrong because no one is either above nor below each other, just as no child is either above or below one another, but because of this kill or be killed mentality that seems to infect teenagers and children they feel as if they have to have someone below them. And the people at the bottom are more often then not smart people because being 'smart' is not a desirable trait compared to being attractive and envied.

 

How could we not expect them to use drugs?

Living in a bubble in which they don't fit in and being there only world that they can live in during there secondary school years can make them feel bored from the same routine of endless teasing by peers and the lack of purpose of school. And this can make one want to seek stimulation, as that it what makes someone smart someone that seeks new challenges to stimulate brain activity, that they cannot get from school and want to escape the bubble that I have just described (and bored you with, very sorry). So when there world is this cruel and boring, who are we as Adults (who see ALL of this and just blame it on hormones getting to them so we can continue working to survive this economy crash btw) to tell them not to?

And the worst part is I don't have a theory (very unsual I know) on how to make it better for the children.

'Humans are top of the food chain'

No we're not -_-

And we never shall be (which is a very good thing because imagine the terrible things we'd do if we were!) So who is sitting on the top of the food chain? Sharks? Hippo's? Lions? There not even a blimp on the radar.

Microorganisms

Yes, something so tiny has the potential to wipe out all species on earth. Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and parasites are like a double edged sword to us. They can cure us such as the Fungi Penicillium chrysogenum produces a byproduct of penicillin or they can kill us. Horribly.

So in no particular order we have 3 truly awful diseases ever known to the earth.

1. Mad Cow disease.

Poor Cow that was inflicted with mad cow disease

Mad cow disease's official name is Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy. It affects the brain and spinal cord and has a very long incubation period of 30 months to 8 years and can affect both Cattle and can affect humans in the slice of Beef they eat was from an infected cow. The cause of this disease is a little misfolded protein called the Prion protein.

 

When infected with this disease you experience depression, insomnia and anxiety and as it progresses you experience muscle spasms. You then lose muscle control and coordination, and may also face some problems involving vision and memory. Starting with  blurred vision, and then forgetting people and things that they do in their daily life. Dementia thus begins to spring it ugly head and all mental and physical functions will become weakened. During the final stages of the ailment, the patient may go into a coma which finally leads to death.

 

Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy became an epidemic in 2004 and really scared people. And rightly so because it turns your brain to mush! But this is what I think of of mad cow disease...

 

 

 

2. Rabies

 A poor man infected with Rabies in restraints

 

The Rabies Virus is a viral disease (obviously) that can be transmitted through blood and saliva. It is Zoonotic like mad cow disease (which means it can be passed from animal to humans) and is almost always fatal when not treated before symptoms occur. Which is what makes it so fucking hard to treat because nobody can know if they have it if they aren't showing symptoms yet.

The Rabies virus cannot survive in water and so infects the host with a paralysing fear of water and an inability to swallow. The first symptoms appear flu like with a raised temperature, sneezing and coughing. Soon after, the symptoms expand to slight or partial paralysis, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, agitation, abnormal behaviour, paranoia, terror, hallucinations, progressing to delirium within four days of initial symptoms occurring. People with the Rabies Virus can often walk around in circles without purpose and often become violent, which is why the man depicted above is in restraints.

 

Only one person has ever survived Rabies without the intervention of a vaccination beforehand. Many people say that if a zombie apocalyse were to ever occur (these people obviously live on the internet) the Rabies virus would be responsible.

 

This Racoons not looking so sweet now is he?

 

3. The Ebola Virus

 

 

The Ebola Virus is a truly terrible virus that makes HIV look like a common cold.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever is potentially lethal and encompasses a range of symptoms including fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, generalised pain or malaise, and sometimes internal and external bleeding. Mortality rates are generally very high, in the region of 80% – 90%, with the cause of death usually due to hypovolemic shock or organ failure.

 

You can obtain this virus from unsterilised needles, hospital contagion or person to person contact. Well actually you could get it from anywhere which is why it could easily become an epidemic.

 

 

 

So here is WhatTheJunk's 3 terrible diseases that make me want to sterilise everything I own and become a shut in. And now you probably do to.

 

 

 

 

 



How does Classical music enhance brain activity?

The Joy of Classical music

I love classical music. Being I nerd, I don't have a choice, otherwise I am no longer allowed in the nerd circle at school. And its not like I'll be welcome to any other cliche's in the school yard. Anyway,other day, one of my non-nerd friends asked ''does Classical music actually make you, like, cleverer?'' (Her word's not mine)

I don't know as all studies conducted on this subject all seem to contradict each other. But if it were to
enhance brain activity and make you ''cleverer'' so to speak, then I imagine it would be because of the following reason. So Jenna, my buddy, this is answering your question ;)


In classical music the instruments do not always play at the same time and at the same note. And it is this pattern of stimuli that requires the brain to logically process this different note playing at different times stuff. And the brain loves it! Without stimulation the brain tissue would die even if you were to preserve it with the nutrition and temperature, which is why when people are locked in an empty room without social stimulation they go slightly crazy. (Which is what my family does to me quite often) :/

And because classical music is a harmony of  beautiful, and genius mathematical precision when the brain detects this it consequently stimulates both hemispheres of the brain and causes to begin to fire in sequence of the particular piece you are listening to.

Damn if the neurons begin to fire to the sequence of the music your listening to, imagine how fast there firing when your listening to this!
