Personal Diary Of Pikephish - Experiencing Physical Laws In Daily Life

Was taught yesterday that things become shorter the faster you are moving them. Must have been quite in a hurry today writing the theory or relativity down because afterwards my pencil was indeed a good bit shorter.

Pssible conclusions: 1) This law doesn't work in supermarkets. The faster a cue is moving the longer it will become. 2) Be careful with quickies. Your *beep* might get shorter.

Personal Diary Of Pikephish - Experiencing Physical Laws In Daily Life

June, 19th, 2000:
Learned yesterday that in rotating systems of reference there may be inherent forces that keep particles on their trajectory. These forces can only be detected from another inertial system which is in motion referring to that other system.
Today ordered a few pints of lager in the evening. When ordering the tenth pint I must eventually have gotten into another system of reference, because I felt inherent forces that kept pulling me towards the left-hand wall and my feet towards the right-hand wall.

Possible Conclusions: 1) Alcoholic systems needn't be inertial systems. 2) It always seems that you are the only one referring to this systems because everyone else doesn't seem to have similar problems.

Heard yesterday that photons carried an impetus.
Today waited at a traffic light. The driver in front of me didn't realize the light turned to green, so I gave him a flash with my front lights and indeed - the car was pushed forward and drove off.

Possible conclusions: 1) Must change the bulbs. My old ones are maybe a bit strong. 2) Perhaps the other driver was just frightened - and this physical law is really crap.

Read yesterday that any kind of matter consisted of not more than 12 different particles.
Today went into an McDonald's restaurant. Found that their food only consisted of 9 different kinds of particles.

Possible conclusions: 1) The other three kinds of particles may be definitely not eatable. 2) The other three kinds of particles would make the feeling of being hungry disappear. That's why McDonald's isn't too keen on using them in their food.

Was told yesterday that with every change at a system the system's disorder (entropy) would be increased.
Today tried to unwind the power cord of my vacuum cleaner. Finally used the broom to tidy up my room.

Possible Conclusions: 1) Shouldn't have tried to get the cord in a state of order. 2) Power cords are another virus-like species of lifeform developed just to spread the sickness of "civilisation dementia" among humanity.
