Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Karabiner]

BTW Ralph, did you remember to save the bone for Kizzy?

Of course I did Tom, that's two bones in the bone-bank now.

I must be going blind as I walked all through the cash game area on Sunday night after going out just before the second break 12.15ish I think it was, and didn't see you. I had a quick chat with Mickey Jones on the ramp near the cash desk and toodled off home as I didn't feel like jumping straight into a cash game after four hours of tourney poker.

Please tell me I didn't walk straight past you.

Its taken me a few days, reading a page here, 20 there, but I finally made it to the end (sofar).

What an excellent thread, I've enjoyed the stories, the pictures, snippets of information and even the pee taking at times as made me howl. It has been a brilliant read with a good mixture of current affairs, past experiences and poker.

 Thank you,

All the best

Mike

Why thank you kind sir.

I know the diaries aren't everyone's cup of tea, and I have to confess that I often get self conscious about the stuff I post. I'm sure the other diarists would say the same.

A little feedback (Not necessarily praise, just comment) makes all the difference.

I just learned something amazing. Molten glass seems to become a solid when it cools, but it actually remains a liquid. (Albeit a very viscous one)

The glass in your windows behaves like a liquid, it just moves very very slowly. After 20 years or so though, it will be measurably thicker at the bottom than at the top.

For an example of something else which is also ultra thick, but still a liquid, look at the pitch drop experiment. In 1927, scientists put bitumen in a jar, and measured how long it took for it to drip through. On average it takes 8 years for each drop to fall - the experiment is still running today.

I love this bit


To date, no one has ever actually witnessed a drop fall. The experiment is in the view of a webcam although technical problems prevented the most recent drop from being recorded.

This is one of the most fascinating things I have ever read - the tenacity of people doing experiments beggars belief. 8 years for the first drop to fall? I think I would have lost interest after a couple of weeks. "Nope that's never going to work" type attitude.

British experimenters ftw - he's from Oz but obv all australians originated from the Uk so yet again a brit shines.

Mind you, at 8 years a drop it's positively speedy compaired to glass.

And compaired to our lass getting out of bed to made me a cup of tea it's greased lightning.
