A Math Romance

They integrated from the very point of origin.Her curves were continuous, and even though he was odd, he was a real number.The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair.From then on it was a continuous function.They were both in their prime, so in next to no time they were horizontal and parallel.She was awed by the magnitude of his perpendicular line, and he was amazed by her conical projections. "Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum.He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude of his simple harmonic motion. They underwent multiple rotations of their axes, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit.After that they slept like logs.Later she found him taking a right-handed limit, that was a problem, because it was an improper form.He meanwhile had realized that she was irrational, not to mention square.She approached her ex, so they diverged.Technorati Tags: romance, ma...

What is your favourite colour?
2007-03-20 00:01:00
The clothes you wear, your home furnishings and the car you drive all give clues to your sexual personality. The key is the colors you select for your possessions. Most people claim they haven't got a favorite color. But look around you, and you'll notice a pattern, especially in your clothing and home furnishings. The predominant color for you is the one that appears most frequently, it's the one that mirrors the sexual you. A panel of psychologists explained the association between color and sexual patterns.RED: People who like red tend to be tigers in the sack. They are easily aroused and enjoy sex in every way imaginable. Once the sexual spark is ignited, it may take hours to extinguish. When two reds get together, the ensuing erotica could make Lady Chatterly blush. Lovers of red tend to be aggressors and weaker colors should be aware.YELLOW: If you tend to favor yellow, your sexual drives are complex and turn toward the adaptable. The favorite color of homosexuals is yellow...

True or false facts?
2007-03-17 18:03:00
False facts: Grapefruit burns body fat - Grapefruit is a great fruit, with 39 calories and 0 g fat for 1/2 fruit, but it does not burn fat. No such food has yet been discovered.All tuna cans have the same calories - Tuna canned in water has up to 160 fewer calories per serving than the oil-packed variety.Bananas are fattening - Let’s take 1 medium apple with 72 calories, 1 medium orange with 62 calories and 1 medium banana with 100 calories. Now tell me how fat can a banana make you?Using “non-dairy” cream substitutes or dessert toppings saves calories - Non-dairy creams have more calories than milk, because most of them have coconut oil in their composition, which has the highest saturated fat content of any vegetable oil.Your stomach shrinks as you diet - You can change your stomach size only surgically. When you diet successfully, you get used to feel satisfied with less food, but your stomach stays the same.There are foods with “negative calories” because of the energy...

Happy Pi Day!
2007-03-15 01:10:00
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two unofficial holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (Pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in American date format), due to pi being equal to roughly 3.14.Sometimes it is celebrated on March 14 at 1:59 p.m. (commonly known as "Pi Minute"); if Pi is rounded out to five decimal places, it becomes 3.14159, making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m. being "Pi Second". Pi Approximation Day may be observed on any of several dates, most often July 22 (22/7—in European date format—is a popular approximation of π).March 14 happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday, among others, and it is common to sing "Happy birthday Dear Albert".Some also enjoy celebrating "Pi Approximation Day" which can fall on any of several dates: * March 14: A common approximation for Pi (3.14) * February 27: The Earth is estimated to have traveled 1 radian of its orbit since the New Year * July 22: 22/7 in the majority of date formats, an ancient approximation ...

Captain America dies
2007-03-11 18:40:00
Captain America has undertaken his last mission at least for now. The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported. On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse. It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941. Over the years, some 210 million copies of Captain America comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in 75 countries. But resurrections are not unknown in the world of comics, and Marvel Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said a Captain America comeback wasn't impossible. Still, the character's death came as a blow to co-creator Joe Simon. "We really need him now," said Simon, 93, who worked with artist Jack Kirby to devise Captain America as a foe for Adolf Hitler. The superhero was spawned when a scrawny arts student named Steve Rogers, ineligible for ...

2007-03-10 04:03:00
The Karl-Marx-Hof in Vienna, Austria holds the distinction of being the longest single residential building in the world at over one kilometer in length (1100m) and spanning four tram stops.Karl-Marx-Hof was built between 1927 and 1930 by city planner Karl Ehn, a follower of Otto Wagner. It held 1,382 apartments (with a size of 30-60 m² each) and was called the Ringstraße des Proletariats, or the Ring Street of the Proletariat.Only 18.5% of the 1,000 metres long, 156,000-m² large area was built up, with the rest of the area developed into play areas and gardens. Designed for a population of about 5000, the premises include many amenities, including laundromats, baths, kindergartens, a library, doctor offices, and business offices.More Images can be seen in Great Building s _________________________________________ _______ Thank you for subscribe to the Blind Copy feed.

Automated parking garage

AutoMotion's Chinatown garage has two "rooms" behind sliding doors.You enter the room on the right. After driving onto a pallet, you lock and leave. The car and pallet are lowered into a storage area. They are then slid into a vacant slot. When you retrieve the car, the process is reversed. Still on its pallet, the car rises into the left-side room. The car emerges aimed at the street, ready to roll away.
