"Does that cheat sheet look like it has extra dimensions to you?"

I recently was involved in the festivities of SWOT 2005 at uni, and the topic of cheat sheets came up during one of the physics tutes. There is such a thing as the string theory, which states that there are more than the more widely accepted Einsteinian 4 dimensions (the fouth dimension is time), but that all but 4 are too 'small' for us to 'see' them (you can't really see the 4th dimension as such, but you feel its effects).

Knowing this, I propose that we create cheat sheets where the extra dimensions can be enlarged so that the sheet is different depending on how you look at it.

Now, given that the most popular theory seems to involve 10 dimensions. From cheat sheet theory, which states that 2 dimensions of cheat sheet will allow 2 pages worth of notes, you can theoretically fit 10 pages of cheat notes onto one of these polydimensional sheets. Another popular theory is the 26 dimension theory. Think of what you could do with 26 pages worth of cheat notes...

The only problem is that the process of unveiling the extra dimensions might be a bit too obvious for the examiners. You would probably have to bring with you some super sized gadget in order to warp space time in order to swap the dimensions around.

So, to combat this I propose another method: bring in a second gadget to put everyone else in your exam into light speed so that to them, you aren't doing anything and then you have all the time you want to do the questions on the exam, which is an added bonus. However, you should watch out for the other people being at light speed for too long, because you might have grown a beard in that time...to your embarrassment I'd imagine.

Well, enough of this transdimensional talk. I have to get to work if I'm to make a profit from this stroke of genius.

Another boring day in the life of Wayland

It's been a while, and the amount of sloughed off dead skin cells that has accumulated on this blog was substantial, but finally I am posting here again. Just to show appreciation to my roots as a blogger I suppose. Can't forget our roots...especially when they're as delicious as taro, as healthy as carrot, as medicinal as ginseng and as potent as mandrake. But I digress.

So, what's been up lately? Nothing really. Having rediscovered the old game of "Heroes of Might and Magic III", it has been slowly but surely consuming my weekends. Not that there are a great many other things I could be doing with my time. Especially not study, seeing as it is wasted since all the information is learnt during intense cramming (crampede, as I used to say) sessions anyway.

One interesting thing I suppose has been my recently reignited passion for martial arts movies. Having watched Kung Fu Hustle, I went to my local library and collected quite a bounty worth of various movies. One of which was Bruce Lee's The Way of the Dragon, which I must say is very good, and exquisitely choreographed. I'll never get tired of watching Bruce Lee go psycho with a pair of nun-chucks, which were conveniently tucked in the back of his pants, as you do. This movie also single handedly redeems Chuck Norris in my books. Much better than any of his Hollywood drivel or his woeful Walker, Texas Ranger. I suppose one reason this old Hong Kong flick seemed much better is that Chuck didn't actually have that many lines. All he had to do was fight, and he did that well enough.

Well anyway, there were also various birthday celebrations in the past month or so, they were fairly good but I'm too lazy to write anything about them.

...and that pretty much wraps up what's been going on...
