Mongolian Death Worm
The Mongolian death worm is a creature purported to exist in the Gobi Desert. It is generally considered a cryptid: one whose sightings and reports are disputed or unconfirmed. It is described as a bright red worm with a wide body that is 2 to 5 feet (0.6 to 1.5 m) long. The worm is the subject of a number of extraordinary claims by Mongolian locals such as the ability of the worm to spew forth sulfuric acid that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (and which would kill a human), as well as its purported ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge. Though natives of the Gobi have long told tales of the olgoi-khorkhoi, the creature first came to Western attention as a result of Professor Roy Chapman Andrewss 1926 book On the Trail of Ancient Man. Habitat and behavior: The worm is said to inhabit the southern Gobi Desert. The Mongolians also believe that touching any part of the worm will cause instant death.

Why organize your ideas, and how to do it
Posted August 3rd, 2015 by Tanner Christensen Just as important as the process you use for developing ideas is the process you use for organizing them. Idea organization matters on many different levels: from getting your ideas out of your head and into a more malleable medium, to having a place where they can smash together serendipitously and evolve from one another. While the “organizational” part to this concept is loosely defined (more on that in a moment), the capturing part is not. If you’re not writing your ideas down, doodling, or even simply journaling, you’re already missing out on the benefits of idea organization. Your mind has a limited memory, it cannot hold onto every idea and it certainly can’t hold onto many ideas while also evolving them. Even if you’re not a writer, you should consider writing. What happens when you start to collect ideas or musings in a central place is that things which otherwise might not have made a connection are given a chance to do so.
What does 0^0 (zero raised to the zeroth power) equal? Why do mathematicians and high school teachers disagree
Clever student: I know! Now we just plug in x=0, and we see that zero to the zero is one! Cleverer student: No, you’re wrong! You’re not allowed to divide by zero, which you did in the last step. which is true since anything times 0 is 0. Cleverest student : That doesn’t work either, because if then is so your third step also involves dividing by zero which isn’t allowed! and see what happens as x>0 gets small. So, since = 1, that means that High School Teacher: Showing that approaches 1 as the positive value x gets arbitrarily close to zero does not prove that . is undefined. does not have a value. Calculus Teacher: For all , we have Hence, That is, as x gets arbitrarily close to (but remains positive), stays at On the other hand, for real numbers y such that , we have that That is, as y gets arbitrarily close to Therefore, we see that the function has a discontinuity at the point . but when we approach (0,0) along the line segment with y=0 and x>0 we get Therefore, the value of that will make the function ! . as
Hedgehog's dilemma
Both Arthur Schopenhauer and Sigmund Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state of individual in relation to others in society. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and weak relationships. With the hedgehog's dilemma, one is recommended to use moderation in affairs with others both because of self-interest, as well as out of consideration for others. The hedgehog's dilemma is used to explain introversion and isolationism. Schopenhauer[edit] The concept originates in the following parable from the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's Parerga und Paralipomena, Volume II, Chapter XXXI, Section 396:[1] A number of porcupines huddled together for warmth on a cold day in winter; but, as they began to prick one another with their quills, they were obliged to disperse.
