Humour

Think you are good at maths? Give this a try

 

There are 25 levels,  see how high you can get.  Very interesting in that the answer forms the url for the page that has the next question on it.  The only way to know if you are right or not is if you get to the correct page.

Give you engineering mind a mental workout.

The physics of Santa Claus

 
If Santa Claus were real then he would have some pretty awesome capabilities.  In fact I'm pretty sure we can expand this out a little with a bit of imagination.  I'm sure he's just scratching the surface.

Should we teach evolution or intelligent design?

 
There is a lot of debate in Texas as to whether students in their schools should be taught evolution or intelligent design,  or a misture of both.  It is taken very seriously,  in fact  their Education Agency's director of Science has quit (or was fred,  it's not entirely clear) over expressing views about the teaching of evolution in schools.  Christine Castillo Comer forwarded an email discussing evolution and creationism where apparently she had to remain neutral on the subject.

So,  are humans,  and all living creatures on this planet, the result of brilliant engineering,  or is it just a matter of trial and error?  And which should be taught in our schools?

Want to slow down the earth?

 

This is just a silly cartoon but the science behind it is probably correct (just on a rediculously tiny scale).  Turns out that the Earth may in fact be slowing down (very slowly mind you).
