The Age of the Ring, a Lord of the Rings UK fansite 64 Things Every Geek Should Know - laptoplogic.com The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. 1.

Those six operations became known as the Huzita axioms. The Huzita axioms provided the first formal description of what types of geometric constructions were possible with origami: in a nutshell, quite a lot was possible! The six Huzita axioms. The six axioms are shown to the right. Solve all quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations with rational coefficients; Trisect an arbitrary angle; Construct cube roots, including the famous problem of "doubling the cube"; Construct a regular N-gon for N of the form 2i3j(2k3l+1) when the last term in parentheses is a prime (a so-called Pierpont Prime); Hatori's seventh axiom. Hatori describes his discovery on his web site.

The delay will depend on The temperature of the day and grain size of the P.P crystals, the hotter the day and smaller the crystals the shorter the delay. After the delay the box will fizz and emit a cloud of white smoke. POTASSIUM NITRATE + SUGAR Mix equal parts potassium nitrate and sugar in a metal or glass bowl, this is than carefully melted over a hot plate. This molten mix is poured into the container (I’ve found toilet rolls are a good size) , a fuse is inserted and it is left to set. AMMONIUM NITRATE + NEWSPAPER Probably the easiest and most effective of the homemade bombs is this one. NITROCELLULOSE + PVC SOLVENT In a bowl add some nitrocellulose, to this powder add just enough PVC solvent/cement to bind the powder together, mould this mix into the shape desired and let dry.

Personnages du Disque-monde Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Cet article vise à répertorier les nombreux personnages de fiction de l'univers du Disque-monde, qui sert de cadre aux Annales du Disque-Monde. Une courte biographie accompagne les personnages mineurs. La tortue A’Tuin et les éléphants[modifier | modifier le code] A’Tuin est une tortue de fiction qui transporte le Disque-monde. De nombreuses questions se posent à propos de cette tortue, par exemple à propos de ses pensées. Dans Le Huitième Sortilège, elle donne naissance à huit petites tortues avec chacune quatre éléphants et un disque sur le dos ce qui veut donc dire que la grande A'tuin est une femelle. D'après l'auteur, la Grande A'Tuin est la seule créature du multivers qui sache exactement où elle va. Selon l'Université de l'Invisible, A'Tuin fait partie de l'espèce Chelys galactica.

The Hobbit: The Official Movie Blog Realistic Lateral Thinking Puzzles Lateral Thinking Puzzles, unlike most puzzles, are inexact. In a sense, they are a hybrid between puzzles and storytelling. In each puzzle, some clues to a scenario are given, but the clues don't tell the full story. Your job is to fill in the details and complete the story. You can try solving these puzzles on your own -- that's certainly a legitimate way to go about this -- but usually you can have more fun if you involve other people. Warning: For some reason, these puzzles have a tendency to be rather morbid. The scenarios given on this page are realistic, if unlikely.
