discoveries

[migrated from livejournal]


1) Did you know that low frequency sounds can cause a Polar Bear to become aggressive?
2) Did you know that Svalbard does exist (if you're a Pullman fan then you should know what I am talking about)?

For number 1, according to what I saw at National Geographic, this is not the sole cause. Pollutants in the atmosphere are carried to the arctic (air currents?) and due to the harsh weather, the cold etc etc, those pollutants condense and mix in with arctic waters.
Those are in turn, ingested by planktons which are eaten by fish which are eaten by seals and then finally reach the apex of the food chain - the polar bears. They consume the blubber of seals which contains about a billion times the pollutant (according to NG). This intoxication to the polar bears are considered to be the cause of recorded aggression from Polar Bears. Although, p. bears are not naturally aggressive, factors like low frequency sounds (passing aircrafts, motor noise from ships, oil plantations etc etc) accumulate to cause their aggression.

trivia: Most fatalities caused by the bears are from the male sex. Male bears are very curious compared to female bears which are cautious and calculating.

3) Did you know that the cashier at Ate Fe's (I'm not sure if she's the owner or what) has a daughter taking up nursing.
-Haha. I am not a stalker. I just saw them this morning waiting for a tricycle near ministop.

4) I didn't know that Neanderthals were considered to be a different species from moder humans. There was a discussion in NG about how unlikely it was to have Neanderthal decendants today. I got the impression somewhere that no offspring would have been created if a Neanderthal and Modern Human shagged. (haha)

5) Did you know that my favorite song as of the moment is (Timbaland feat. Fall Out Boy)'s One and Only? If you don't know the lyrics: 

"One & Only"
(feat. Fall Out Boy)

[Verse 1 - Timbaland]
I get over heels for someone (I)
That I really can't deal with (deal with)
I want to block her out my mind
But I really can't do it
I tell myself this the last time
I'ma let her do this to me
Whenever we do spend time
I realize that I can't get enough of you

[Bridge - Patrick Stump (Timbaland)]
Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)

[Chorus (Patrick Stump):]
To be despised
To be loved
To be dreamt of
To be sought
I'm the inside of "I don't care"
Right in the middle
I'm right in the middle
To be despised
To be loved
To be dreamt of
To be sought
I'm the inside of "I don't care"
Be my unholy
My one and my lonely

[Verse 2 - Patrick Stump]
I wear scarves and hoods
'Cause it's the only poker face that I've got left
And everything I love about you is a mess
Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand
I want to be better than I am

[Bridge - Patrick Stump (Timbaland)]
(Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)
Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)

[Chorus (Patrick Stump)]

[Verse 3 - Timbaland]
Girl, just look what you've done
How could you do this to me?
I gotta put my foot down
I can't let you do this to me
I can't forget those good ole times
And all the things you've been doing to me
I wanna hit that one more time
I mean love, what your doing to me
I'ma say it loud, right here
Let's fuck in this crowd
Why we arguing
I thought me and you were supposed to be
Friends
Let's chill for minute
Better yet we could heal for a minute (for a minute)
Baby, put down the knife
Sometime I wanna save ya life
Why don't you


6) And finally, did you know that PRISON BREAK just keeps getting better and better?! If you didn't catch up! Watch Ep. 12. Man on man. It was so exciting I didn't even notice the hour pass by. I was close the edge all through out the episode. Although, I was already expecting Molly's appearance but she hasn't yet which got me talking that perhaps they shot another storyline. It's totally different from the spoilers I have been reading. She should have already come out by now...she was supposed to kill Gretchen after all. Man oh Man. I am hating Linc each and every episode. What a time to pull out a grudge for someone?! Nearing the critical moment he goes all dramatic about his Father's death! I thought your son was important for you! Don't fuck Michael's plans over your vendetta! Shit! Hahaha. Sorry. I got carried away. Hahaha.

7) Ooops. PS: Will this cycle continue for the next weeks? Again, I have no sleep! I didn't get any sleep exactly last week because I was finishing up the integration of my FAT16 (csv) firmware with the Axel Activity Monitor firmware + Power Optimization feature. Hmm. But for this week, thankfully I have already finished that integration, I was having fun doing the LCD firmware. Haha. I had a vision you see...so I wasn't satisfied with having the screen use the horizontal addressing or whatever for the display (in layman's term: horizontal -> for texts, vertical -> for images)....but since my vision required the integration of both....I pursued and ACCOMPLISHED!

PAWNED.
