You know, after more than a month after Mr. Adams should have come back, I'm starting to think he's not dead just for tax reasons ...
Sigh.

Happy B-day! :)

Happy 50th to Mr. Adams (yes, I'm feeling very respectful today). I reccomend we all celebrate all the comedians who have died in the last year or so (starting with DNA, ending with Mr. Milligan 
) by eating cake 
and drinking drinks of appropriate strengths for your age 
. *grins* Cheers, then.

Any suggestions?

Okie dokie, since I clicked the wrong button at the wrong time, I can't edit my space ... ^_^;; I think I'll let it recover from me for a few minutes. Heh heh ...
Anyway, I *have* finished school, and I wanna make sure that I learnt all that rubbish for *something*. So if anyone happens to want an entry on the following subjects, and there isn't one already, ask me and I'll write one and send it in ... 
Biology stuff - Cells (biological), enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis, homeostasis (an organism maintaining a stable internal environment), biological systems (e.g. circulatory system, respiratory system, etc.), plant development & growth, diseases & disease-causing organisms, variation, gene stuff, genetic engineering, genetic technology (e.g. DNA fingerprinting), evolution
Chem stuff - analytical chemistry (basically identifying stuff in things - finding out what stuff's made of, how much there is in it, etc.), rates of reaction & equilibrium (how far a reaction will go), industrial chem (e.g. making sulfuric acid), supplying & using energy, food chemistry (proteins, carbohydrates, fats; digestion; etc.), stuff on the periodic table, nuclear fusion / fission (and, finally, I learnt where E=mc^2 comes into it!)
Physics stuff - waves (e.g. sound waves), electric power (e.g. how it's produced), electronic systems (diodes, capacitors, logic gates, etc.), movement (velocity, acceleration, etc. - including Newton's Laws), safety equipment, springs, collisions, free falling stuff, oblique projection (chucking stuff at certain angles & speeds & predicting where it'll go), circular motion (stuff moving in circles), gravity & satellites (stuff orbiting other stuff), materials & structures (how long stuff'll last before it breaks), light & matter (including wave-particle duality), electric fields
Maths stuff - factorization & expansion (putting stuff in brackets & multiplying stuff that's in brackets), graphs, trig stuff (all that sin, cos, and tan stuff), log graphs (b^i = n and so on), natural logs (stuff to the base / power of e), derivatives and antiderivatives (finding the slope & area under graphs), probability (if you've got two red balls and five green balls in a bag, what's the probability of pulling out one of each ... urg), graphs of circles & ovals, imaginary numbers (where i^2 = -1 ... in other words, i = the square root of negative one), volumes of revolution (spin a graph around an axis - how big is the shape you make?), mixture problems (get a vat of water, pour in a mixture with salt in it at a certain rate and drain it off at a certain rate, then figure out how much salt's in the container - urg again)kinematics (more about moving stuff - put a block on a slope and I'll work out how fast it'll slide)
(I took two different maths courses this year ... ^_^;
Add to the list anything in my 'likes' pile above and that'll do for now ... *sighs tiredly* I'm willing to research almost anything once. Mwa-ha-ha-ha ...
