Damn you all. Now I'm craving pizza. And Greek food, which is kinda random.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, and Jesus has returned.
Former British spy David Shayler has cleared up the confusion for Christians all over the world. That's right, you Christian folks can stop worrying about that whole "second coming" deal because, well, David Shayler is the Messiah.
Praise David!
How do I know it's true, you say? Well, because David says that it's true - and the Messiah can't lie. Duh.
[David aka the Christ conciousness]: "I am the last incarnation of the Holy Ghost (aka the Holy Spirit) or the Yeshua or Jesus Spirit (aka the Christ consciousness).
Now I'm craving pizza.
I have leftovers....

Tonight is the series finale of Kim Possible! I'm way more excited about this than I should be.
On Sunday, I have to go into work for a few hours. Boo. Also on Sunday, there is electronics recycling, so I'm going to try yet again to get rid of the friggin' TV set.
Other than that, I'll be sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, and feeling sorry about myself.
1) You are driving a car, and you accelerate from 0 to 25 mph. Say the amount of energy required is x. Now you continue to accelerate from 25 mph to 50 mph.
What is the total amount of energy you used to accelerate from 0 to 50 mph?
energy required = x times the square of (velocity divided by 25).
If you accelerate to 50 mph, you have four times the energy as if you accelerated to 25 mph. (Fifty divided by 25 is 2, square that to get 4.)
2) You drop a heavy object from a height of 10 feet, and when it hits the ground it has a velocity of y. What would be the velocity if you drop it from 20 feet? From 40 feet?
velocity = y times the square root of (height divided by 10).
So if you dropped it from 20 feet, it would be the square root of two times y (1.41 times y, roughly); if you dropped it from 40 feet, it would just be 2 times y.

My local RWA chapter is having a potluck and meeting tomorrow. Other than that, no plans at all, except for the usual of laundry and grocery shopping. And while we were away last weekend, we talked about goals for the next 5-10 years. I think I'm going to try to write down some first steps toward those goals while I'm still feeling all hopeful and inspired about everything from losing 50 lbs. to buying a house by the time DH is 40 to spending the summer of 2015 in Europe.
