Happy Mother's Day - from dog

Happy Mother's Day to the person who usually gets stuck with feeding me, and walking me, and cleaning up after me, and taking me to the vet's, and hugging me, and worrying about me.

Happy Mother's Day - you are a Super Wonder Woman

I'm not saying I am Wonder Woman.  I'm just saying no one has ever seen me and Wonder Woman in the same room.

Claustrophobia, fear of closed spaces

Claustrophobia is the fear of closed spaces. For example, I'm on my way to a liquor store right now and I'm afraid it might be closed.

From Golden Ratio to golden arse


In mathematics,
two quantities are in the golden ratio φ
(phi, or 1.6180339887...)
if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum
to the larger of the two quantities.

Geometrically, the golden ratio represented as
a line divided into two segments, "a" and "b",
such that the entire line
is to the longer "a" segment
as the "a" segment is to the shorter "b" segment.





Expressed algebraically,
for quantities a and b,
with a > b






Many artists and architects have proportioned
their works to approximate the golden ratio ...

especially in the form of the golden rectangle,
in which the ratio of the longer side
to the shorter side is the golden ratio ...

believing this proportion to be
aesthetically pleasing.





In geometry, a golden spiral is a logarithmic spiral
whose growth factor is the golden ratio φ (phi).

That is, a golden spiral gets wider
(or further from its origin)
by a factor of φ for every quarter turn it makes.

Below is the figure of
an approximate and true Golden Spirals.

The green spiral is made from quarter-circles
tangent to the interior of each square,
while the red spiral is a Golden Spiral.

Overlapping portions appear in yellow.

The length of the side of one square
divided by that of the next smaller square
is the golden ratio φ (phi).





Now, what do you get
when you put 2 golden spirals together ? ...

A most aesthetically pleasing Golden Arse !




All very well, you say.
But what can you do with a Golden Arse ?

Good wine

The secret of enjoying a good wine.
1. Open the bottle to allow it to breathe.
2. If it does not look like it is breathing, give it mouth to mouth.

Income Tax Query - Golden Arse is the explanation


"Hello, is this Miss Singleton ?"

"Yes, it is."

"Miss Singleton,
This is John Smith, your tax accountant.

I must inform you,
your tax statement was rejected.
They say that your salary and your possessions
are incompatible ...

... Your salary as a secretary is too low for you
to be able to afford:
   - a luxury apartment
   - a new Mercedes-Benz
   - expensive clothing
   - jewelry
   - vacations in Europe
   - etc."

"Oh, and what can I do about it Mr Smith ?"

"Well, let's do the following:
Send me a recent copy of
your principal source of income,
and I'll see what I can do with it."

"Very well Mr Smith.
I am making a photocopy of it now,
and I will email it to you shortly."



Well, she must have the Golden Arse ...

Landslide over a highway in Taiwan


An entire hill slid over National Highway No 3,
close to Keelung in north Taiwan.

The landslide happened on 2010-04-25
and I was on this highway few days earlier.
Jesus ... that was too close for comfort.

Rubbish in my neighbour's porch

We live in a middle class suburb, everyone own their own home, and all the houses are well maintained ... except my neighbour's - the McDonald family. Check out these rubbish in their front porch ... the rubbish have been there for a few years and rats bred from there.

The owner is a divorced woman, living with a grown up son who seems to be a sensible guy and have a good job. Why doesn't he advise his mom to clear out the rubbish?

A married daughter who doesn't live there, comes home every now and then to visit her mom. She also seems to be sensible ... why doesn't she advise her mom about the ungainly rubbish too?

Strange family !!!
