Just a bit of Fun

Trying not too post many bits of news as i know it is a saturated market but when you come across pieces of news like this....

...things like this really amaze me how creative and inventive some people can be. Be it a little random and pointless...and this...

...personally i can't figure out if this one is funny or not? Or if it's just plain stupid? I might even be pushed to say counter evolutionary? I don't know but it did make me chuckle.

Won't it stop raining?

For anyone in the UK at the moment. Be it on holiday, on summer vacation from school/university or taking a couple of days off from work, the weather isn't very summery. Britons should be used to our non-summer weather by now. As it is too wet to go out you might be sitting, looking out of a window and thinking "Why raindrops come in so many sizes?"

Well the answer is at hand. Here, on the BBC website, it is explained that raindrops over a certain size are too heavy/large to stay in one droplet. They flatten as they race to Earth from the clouds. Air then creates a pocket in the rain drop and bursts into many smaller droplets.

Fascinating, but it doesn't really give us any hope of a nice summer does it?! The worse thing about the British weather is we get a week of really nice weather then a month of really bad weather. It's like the weather gods are playing game with us mere mortals. It makes planning an outing a game of Russian roulette.

But these rainy days arn't all bad. It's good laying in bed (till 11am) weather. Also its a good time for going out for a walk, with your favourite person in the whole world on one arm and a large brolly in the other.

How did the ducks get down from the ledge?

I'm not really one for posting about the news. My thing is pictures rather than social commentry on current affairs. But i do read the news pretty much everday and somethings are just worth posting.

I found this article on the BBC website a couple of months ago.

This article/video not only underlines how diverse humans actions are but should be taken as a kind of lession by the media. The media covers so much news containing hate, murder, pain and dysfunction, but they don't really cover enough stories that highlights good things we humans do.

More acts of kindness like this and coverage of them by the media might actually make the world a nicer place to live. Reader, it might just be me trying to be an optimist rather than a pessamist. But i do beleive it. Otherwise i wouldn't have posted it.
