Biped I am,
Who walks upright
and thinks with a one and a half kilo
mass of flesh.
And gosh, this flesh
does produce emotions
and questions, and I bet
you would agree with me.
A gigantic spherical vessel
{In a gigantic spherical vessel, Of some mass of 1000 exa tonnes, With some three trillion trees And another million trillion trillion of pr0-microbes, Hosting billions of bipeds And a Gogol of insects, And still hanging in space, Protecting itself from the Harmful rays, Where is the room for feelings and emotions, For fear and hate ?} Continue reading A gigantic spherical vessel

Despite these thick and thin locks, the person who wanted this very bike so badly, deftly managed to snaffle it by hoodwinking everyone in the courtyard. We must, proudly, appreciate his/her skill at cutting locks in broad daylight.
World energy needs as Itaipu dam equivalents
Humans have an intuitive sense for numbers. We know that 100 is smaller than 1000 and that a 4GB memory card stores less data than a 16GB one. Bearing this in mind, it was decided to approach the energy needs of Brazil and the world. Nowadays, it is very common to see a pie chart or a bar graph depicting various forms of energy consumption, in newspapers, televisions and magazines. One often wonders if these numbers makes any sense to a layperson. Is it possible to build on their numeracy skills, to further understand, say, their country’s needs?
