[20 Aug 2008|12:19am] useless_facts [_53] [ mood | happy ] Eratosthenes, an ancient Greek philosopher, was the first human being in recorded history to calcualte the circumference of a planet (specifically, the Earth), and he did so with remarkable accuracy. Basically, he had two sticks stuck vertically upright in the sand in two towns, one in Alexandria, the other in Swenet. When the sun was directly overhead, casting no shadows from the stick in Swenet, he noted there was a shadow cast by the other stick in Alexandria at the same time. Measuring the distance between the two sticks (by basically having some dude walk from one town to the other and count his steps) and measuring the length of the shadow cast and angle of the light casting the shadow, he basically figured out not only that the Earth had to be round, but he went on to calculate it to an accuracy of 99% of the modern day accepted circumference of the Earth. All this using a couple of sticks, some dude walking and counting his steps, and a little maths. Since this probably blew your mind like it did mine, I'll give you a minute to clean up brain matter off your screen. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis, again with remarkable accuracy; and it is possible he also may have calcualted the Earth's distance from the Sun to an accuracy of 99% compared to that of today's accepted distance. He did all this around 200 years before Jesus walked the Earth, or a solid 1,700 years before man circumnavigated the planet and removed all doubt of the Earth being flat. Or, you know, he was all wrong and it's all a bunch of lies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geodesy#Hellenic_world 2 Lovers| Ghosts

Great Article [19 Aug 2008|11:19am] brucenews [chelsearoad] Hershey Park is my last dance with the E Street Band for a while. Maybe...and it pierces my heart to write this...ever. Check this article out...it's my life. From an article in the Charleston paper... They go by names like Crazy Janey, Killer Joe and the Magic Rat. Since last fall, they've been at it, kicking around the country. They call in sick to their jobs, catch late-night planes, drive all night. They scrape up enough money for another fix, swear it's the last time, and then do it again. They've got it bad. Now they're coming to Charleston. If you scored a ticket to the Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band show at the North Charleston Coliseum, don't miss the sideshow that's playing in the audience. You'll see people greeting each other like old friends at a high school reunion, comparing notes on what they've been up to since the "last time." Which is sometimes as long as three weeks ago. Were you at Jacksonville last night? Which night did you see at Giants Stadium? Did you catch any of the Pacific Rim shows in the spring? They take care of each other - trading tickets or selling them at face value. It's like a code on the back streets: You don't fleece another Bruce fan. They've got enough expenses just keeping up. Ask them how many times they've seen Springsteen, and many of them will give you a number that's in triple digits. The Boss himself reportedly once joked that it's the same people out there every night. In truth, there are hundreds of them - maybe a thousand. A lot of other rock stars have similar followers - the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, even Jimmy Buffett. But few of those folks are rewarded for their efforts as much as the Springsteen crowd. See, Bruce is smart. He mixes it up. While a band like Van Halen comes out and plays the same set list night after night, it's rare to see two Springsteen shows that are exactly the same. He might play 23 songs, or 30, stay on stage two-and-a-half hours, or three-and-a-half. And at least half of the songs he plays are going to be different than the ones he played the night before. Sure, you're assured of hearing "Born to Run," but the question is: What will he play after it? Or, more importantly on this tour: What will he play just before it? Could "Backstreets" or "Thunder Road." A few times, it's been "Kitty's Back," a song that, before this year, had not been heard much since 1978. That keeps those Jersey Girls and Johnny 99s coming. They compare notes: I haven't heard "Jungleland" yet this year; or I've missed "Sandy" by one show every time he's played it. Man, I wish he'd lay off "Bobby Jean" and "Dancing in the Dark." They watch the set lists, which Springsteen posts on his Web site after shows, comparing what he actually played to his handwritten set beforehand. He was supposed to play "Because the Night" in Charlotte but instead played "Prove It All Night?" Well, he'll get back to it next show (he did, in Greensboro, the next night). Springsteen plans a show every night, and then throws the set list to the wind depending on his whim, or the folks in the audience. You can't miss 'em in the crowd; they're the ones holding up signs that are simply song requests, most often obscure ones. Want your song played? The best bet is to let a little kid hold up the sign. In April, Springsteen caught a glimpse of a little girl holding up a sign for "Darlington County" and then called an audible on it. The hard-cores were upset when they found he probably jettisoned a rarity - either "Streets of Fire" or "Independence Day" - to play a fairly common song. In recent months, it's become a great game the band plays. Springsteen pores over the signs in a particular arena, picks one he likes or tries to stump the band. A few weeks ago in New Jersey, somebody requested "Little Latin Lupe Lu," a song the band used to play - in 1975. They pulled it off. A few people are still hoping for a tour premiere of "The Fever," "The Price You Pay" or an encore of the rarely performed "Drive All Night." Many folks collect these songs like baseball cards: I've never heard "Meeting Across the River." I've seen him 46 times and am still waiting for "Fade Away." Want to spot an amateur? Look for the guy holding up a sign for "Badlands." He's gonna play that one anyway. Don't waste the poster board. No matter what Springsteen does, which requests he honors, you can be assured that by the time the house lights come up and the thundering open of "Born to Run" rips through the North Charleston Coliseum, the hard-core folks will be deep in planning their trip to the next stop, in Richmond. *** It's an accurate portrayal. Except that Bruce didn't play "Little Latin Lupe Lu" in Jersey; he played it at Gillette. I know. I went to all three GS shows. 3 Lovers| Ghosts

mirror mirror on the wall [19 Aug 2008|12:41pm] useless_facts [tiger_tyger] Magpies can regonise themselves in mirrors. In addition to humans, only four apes, bottlenose dolphins and Asian elephants have also demonstated this ability. In humans, the ability to recognise oneself in a mirror develops around the age of 18 months. source 9 Lovers| Ghosts
