wait a sec...i saw a sign there pointing to north pole, but couldnt see the distance. I would guess it would be Circumference/2 - 4998 = 20000-5000=15000km approximately. But distance to capetown is close to 11000, so that is more than 70% of the distance to the north pole??? wtf? I cannot picture that on geoid like the earth - especially since capetown is in the same hemisphere as new zealand. Thoughts?
No, this is not Rhum. I thought my name and posts so far would have been dead giveaways but I have yet again overestimated your admittedly modest intellect. I am someone you know, but don't quite know; and I will be happy to remain nameless. You can think about this as you gallivant half-naked on Australia's beaches today. :P
haha, yes its me! I am taking 2 econ classes this term, and a math class, and a class called Causes and Prevention of War. 14.382 seems really hard though..
Yes, don't take classes that are too difficult for you. Stick with freshmen classes like last semester. :) Which 18 class? I'm sure u'll have fun with your 14 classes. Perhaps you can work with Will. I'm sure you both will discover something amazing and perhaps even write a paper. Good luck. Btw, in Sngapore right now and went into a Hindu temple and prayed with everyone. I even put my hand on top of the candle and then wiped my head and face with the spiritual smoke ... Or something like that. I'll soon become more Indian than you. Watch out my little American friend. :)
So the classes I'm taking this term....18.704-seminar in algebra, hope it sort of consolidates what I learned in 703 - I have to give my first presentation next week. 14.54 - Intl. Trade(Full of distilled idiots). 14.382(oh shit..) and 17.42(Causes and Prevention of War, so far the most exciting class I've ever taken!). I might also sit in on Passage to India with Mahesh.
You dont wipe your face with smoke, you idiot. You place your hands above the sacred fire(sacred since it has just been offered to God), and also place the God's ashes on your forehead(it is called viboothi - white in color). I can understand why you want to be more Indian, and join the 1.2 billion strong club. After all, the 3 million Lebanese Club that you are part of is in serious danger with the Arab riots!
1. nice classes. Good luck with 14.382 and 18.704. Although we did well in 703, we could not have done as well if not for Yotum. ;) We did get 92 on the final though. 2. Oh, that's what they were doing! I thought they were just doing some silly ritual. You see, in Lebanon, developed country, we don't have such superstitious habits of rubbing ourselves with fire. I will take pictures next time ... 3. if we continue, I will post the notes we wrote in 14.416 in class. ;) Things will turn ugly.
What religion is prevalent in Lebanon? Oh yes!, its Christian right? Since you are Christian.....no wait! its part of Persia, so there are also Muslims right? Oh! and the Miracle Worker also travelled those places 2000 years ago, so lots of Jewish people as well! In Lebanon you probably dont have the time for such superstitious habits...it is a busy, bustling place...WATCH OUT!!!!!! Hezbollah is attacking Israel!
Lebanon is a complex country, unlike India where the official language is English. Watch out for the inevitable Lebanese expansion, engulfing Persia, the russian empire and greater pakistan (Pakistan and India). It's on my little brown friend. ;)
jaja... I LOVE the last pic (except for all the random stuff in the background).

ReplyDeletesome random dude from Ohio nearly jumped on me to ask me if I was a student there.
ReplyDeletelol, love the last pic. Ur sense of humor is intact I see.. :)

ReplyDeleteRhum, is that you?
ReplyDeletecheck yur math, and perhaps i will tell you what the distance is ;)

ReplyDeletethen it must be Vladimir, trying to run for his life from Joseph to play chess with Adolf.
ReplyDeleteI'll send you a picture of my gallivanting while you wrestle with course 14 classes this semester my little (brown) friend.
