A lot of things have unusual origins, such as how Corn Flakes were originally made to prevent masturbation.
Graham crackers too.

Offline We currently have three Irish exchange students in class and today they were asked to present a poem about the differences between Ireland and Germany. One of them finished with the sentence (and here also comes the fact I’ve learned from their poems):
‘Ireland may be a small country but we are proud to have brought the world Ulysses, U2, James Bond and Dracula.’
At least the last one surprised me a lot and during the presentation I somehow had to think about a certain forumpudlian…

But I thought everyone here thinks Bono is a w****r!
Another surprising Irish contribution is Oscar Wilde, who yes was Irish and not English.
Question time Martha, do they have good German? I imagine they’re doing transition year which is why they’re over in Germany (unless they’re only there for a week). But I’ve generally found the foreign language standard of your typical Irish student is weak at best.
Also can I sneak over to your school and casually go on exchange, I could pass easily as a 15 year old!

Offline If you came over, that would raise the average language standard of our exchange students significantly (you would have to look like 17 though, not 15
). Maybe they are a little shy but they even refused to introduce themselves in German and one of them has not spoken a single German word in my presence yet. But to be fair, they only stay for two weeks and have not had German for too long. Concerning their grade, after they have finished this grade, they still have two more years to go.
If you look at German students, their English knowledge is mainly acceptable because we learn English since we are seven or eight years old. However, our language skills in French, Spanish or Italian are quite little and in Irish mostly nonexistent, so I should probably not judge them for not talking in German so much. The only thing that makes me sad is that they seem to hate Germany because we are not that relaxed as you are in Ireland…

Ah zee typical Irish, I WILL NOT SPEAK GERMAN, YOU SPEAK ENGLISH TO ME…PLEBS!
And I guessed right with my transition year assumption, bless their little hearts

But, no, seriously, I find this stuff fascinating. One fossil rewrites everything that has been believed for over a century. It’s what I love about the sciences, that they’re not about proving an answer as right, instead looking for things that prove it wrong.

I sense a “Beatles Trivia, Even Easier” question coming on. What song did John write after using Tropicamide eye drops?

Does it? I think it makes you look like you’re on acid as it dialates the pupils, but does it have a psychotropic effect?

Offline No there’s no psychotropic effect although it can apparently cause a psychotic episode in infants. But I was referring to the visual effect. I had to have the drops this week and it was a strange visual effect when I was out on the street with everything blurring and looking a little strange.
On the subject of eyes I saw this which I think is awesome.

On a similar topic: In physics class we have quantum mechanics at the moment and we watched a video about quantum entanglement and the professor in this video said that it’s possible all particles in the universe are still entangled as they were as the big bang happened and therefore space is only a construct, an illusion of distance. That’s quite simplified but still mind-blowing.
