i'm a nerd (1)

well howdy.

firstly, camping.... didnt think it was too shabby for something we threw together in an hour :P all gurd :)
and gwyn touched a chicken in the end...bravo gwyn


yeah, anyways, i have a friend who has recently been asking me alot about black holes and the threat they pose to us: since ryan wont accept my answer of, 'NONE WHATSOEVER right now'.... i've had to go into some details.

the big one!
firstly, scientists believe the only threat to the galaxy is from a black hole in the centre of the milky way...and it's not hungry right now (in leymans terms). even if it was, we're 30,000 light years from it.

that's:
30 000 x (9.4607x10^12) = 2.83821x10^17..... or to write it in full: 2,838,210,000,000,000,000 km
in other words, we're safe..

the odd one
i was also asked how big the planets would need to be in order to form black holes in our solar system. this is, im sure, down to the fact i told him about the 'Schwarszchild radius'.

the schwarzschild radius is the maximum radius an object would need to be in order for a non-rotating, uncharged, black hole to form. any bigger than the radius and the object doesnt collaps into a black hole.... any smaller and the object becomes so dense that the escape velocity exceedes that of the speed of light... hence it becomes a black hole.
it can be calculated by this equation:

Rs=(2GM)/c^2

Rs is the schwarzschild radius
G is gravitational constant
M is mass of the object
c is the speed of light

so i worked them out :)

the sun- 2.949 km
mercury-0.487 mm
venus-7.21 mm
earth-8.86 mm
mars-0.952 mm
jupiter-2.815 m
saturn-84.3 cm
uranus-12.9 cm
neptune-15.2 cm

and there you go.

there are 3 other types of black holes that exist, but this is just one type. i cant be arsed to do all the workings out tonight

now i've done my maths, im off.
CIAO

how wrong is this dude?

hey

with regards the question in the title, i'll get to that later... for now, i just want to say, april fools day was shockingly poor for me...

i got 'pranked' about 3 times, all after the 12 oclock mark, which technically means they're assholes now. the fact i was pranked doesnt make me feel upset or anything, and please dont perceve this as me being a bad sport: i can take a joke...when it's funny

the thing that made me feel as though april fools day was crap again was my second prank of the day where one of my 'friends' decided that they would prank me by saying that their mother had been taken into hospital in a coma after being beaten and raped.... (i'll just let that sit with you for a second)

yes, dear friends, this is why Tony Davidson from western-supermare is my Douchebag For The Day!

if you were wondering, the first 2 pranks were someone telling me they were gay (it was the delivery that made it crap), and someone who told me they took my phone when i had it in my hand.....ino...(yeah ino)



and so we move to the title story (worthy of bold)!!!!!
i swear to god that if i hadnt given out my douchebag of the day award, i would give it to this guy... it's one of those videos that you just want to turn off because he's being so stupid and blind.

please watch, and please... dont face-palm yourselves.


goodnight vienna, we love you
CIAO

ah, the perfect amount of drunk

so, last night: the 'social gathering of friends' which was totally not a party, was pretty damn good. in fact, it's my personal opinion that last night's 'SGoF' was one of the best NON-partys in a VERY long time....

i believe this is due to the fact there were no people slandering or ridiculing or just being plain nasty, to people...it was a relaxed atmosphere where we could just be mates without fear of backdraught in the morning. if camping is like that, then it should be good, and i actually look forward to it.

and so to tomorrow.... the cock up performed by the chemistry department has ment that we, as chemistry students, need to go into school for tomorrow and blow shit up..... (alternativly we'll just have to do a really long and boring experiment with the presumption that this one actually bloody works...)

so A-level chem students will be unavailable between the hours of 10 AM and whenever Bevan lets us go...

and here i leave you...this week shall be a diary entry week kinda thing. CIAO for now bizatches.


and just random bit here..... tony blair now sounds kinda american :S tell me im not the only one.....?

the imortal wordings of a no-body

hey hey everybody. i hope if you went to the party last night you're all ok now...if not, more fool you :)

im starting up a lil ranting thing, pretty much stealing the idea from 'grumpy old men'.
so today i thought i'd mention (off the back of last night) alcohol


all you seem to see in newspapers and magazines is alcohol abuse mixed with teenagers. this fun combination seems to attract worldwide attention and none in the possitive aspect. i believe firmly that the reason people get pissed is because of two very distinct reasons:

1) they're douchebags
2) they dont respect alcohol.

now respect for anything essentially deadly is critical. if you dont respect it you end up fucking ill or doing something you wish you hadnt. its a fun life really, and if you want to spoil the party by blowing chunks and passing out.... well.... good for you, you fit the stereotype of a douche :)

however, if you're the person who, by contrast, knows their limits and doesnt try and get totally wrecked so you wanna do anything with a pulse, then well done... by contrast, you are boring and will probably never need your stomach pumped.... a waste of a good night, eh?

so my question for the day is, which catagory do you fall into?
thought for the day: where's the asprin?

CIAO

well you know how i work by now

yes dear folks im blogging, which means only one thing: this is my last resort....

i came home early from the party (epic, and i loved the first couple of hours :) ), coz it turned into an event where i didnt feel comfortable.... basicly, it wasnt my scene.

also certain people seem drunk to the extent im no longer laughing with or at them, i just want to leave them alone and prey to god nothing happens.

otherwise, happy birthday mair ily lots like jelly tots XD

and happy birthday liam for tomorrow/today :) x (special present later ;P )
