Odds and Ends, Randomly Useful and Totally Useless Ideas and Information

Counting

For those of us with inquiring minds, here is a vert simple infographic detailing the basic differences between the three systems of measuring the temperature.

  • Fahrenheit = Really Cold Outside
    100° Fahrenheit = Really Hot Outside
  • Celsius = Fairly Cold Outside
    100° Fahrenheit = You’re Dead
  • Kelvin = You’re Dead
    100° Kelvin = You’re Dead

So there you have it! A nice little tidbit of information that is probably useful for absolutely nothing at all!

  • Number 1

Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.

  • Number 2

In the 60’s people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

  • Number 3

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

  • Number 4

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

  • Number 5

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

  • Number 6

Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can’t tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

  • Number 8

Life is sexually transmitted.

  • Number 9

Death is the number 1 killer in the world.

… and as someone recently said:

Don’t worry about old age, it doesn’t last that long.

This nifty infographic shows you how to measure remaining daylight with your hand! Here’s how it works:

  • 1. Face The Sun

Face the sun and extend your arm in front of you so that your palm faces toward you and your fingers are parallel to the horizon.

  • 2. Position Your Index Finger

Position your index finger so that it rests just below the sun, and your pinky finger is parallel to the horizon.

  • 3. Count The Number

Count the number of fingers it takes to reach the sun from the horizon. Each ascending finger represents 15 minutes until the sun sets.

  • 4. If Space Allows

If space allows, line up your other hand directly below and continue counting. Each hand represents approximately one hour.
