December 2006 Archives

This weblog turned five years old 2 days ago, which explains why I'm maintaining it with the diligence and dependability of a five year old.

On a different note, isn't it odd how the words 'practically' and 'virtually' are synonyms in one sense, and antonyms in another? Wonder if there are any other pairs of words with that property.

Another thing I wondered about today was the maximum practical height that a (regularly shaped) jelly could be before it would collapse under its own weight (my guess: about 30cm).

Worrying about entries turning out like this one is the reason I don't blog very often.
