Pancakes on Wednesdays

Well pancakes on Wednesdays  is back, and the vacation is over.

Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays

Wednesday, March 24, 2004

Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data.

Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks.

We have links, lots of them.

Look it up!

From the Radixionary

MUNDUNGUS

Rubbish; refuse.

The Spanish have a perfectly respectable word mondongo for the tripes, the stomach linings of cows or oxen that are served as food. Many people adore tripe, especially served with onions, but others find it mildly repulsive. Hence our slang use of tripe for worthless stuff or rubbish. The English borrowed the Spanish word in the seventeenth century, at first with the same sense , but then hacked it about a bit to fit English mouths and applied it figuratively to any offal or refuse.

Later, it was used in particular for a foul-smelling form of cheap tobacco. In his Journal of A Voyage to Lisbon, published in 1755, Henry Fielding wrote: “It was in truth no other than a tobacco of the mundungus species”. It has largely gone out of use, except when an author is attempting to reinforce an historical period, as Patrick O’Brian does in HMS Surprise: “If you have finished, Stephen, pray smoke away. I am sure you bought some of your best mundungus in Mahon”.

Rufus King 1755

Rufus is less well known for the fact that his dogs always called him by his nickname, Roof!

John Powell 1834

Life is something like a remarkable, exciting puzzle - It comes piece by piece in packages marked days.

There is an amusing story about a Greek mathematician and physicist named Archimedes. He was born in the town of Syracuse, on the island of Sicily, in about 287 BC. Hiero II, the ruler of Syracuse, had a fantastic crown of gold made for himself. But Hiero did not trust the goldsmith who made the crown. After it was made he wanted to make sure it was pure gold, and not alloyed (mixed) with silver by the goldsmith. Hiero asked Archimedes to find out without destroying the beautiful crown. At first Archimedes was confused by the problem. Then one day while he was it the bathhouse, he noticed that the water level rose as he got in. When he got out the water level went down. Instantly he realized how to solve the kings problem.

This bathtub has been reserved for TomKow6.

Archimedes Principal

Archimedes first took two equal weights of gold and silver and compared their weights when immersed in water. Next he compared the weights of the crown and a pure silver crown of identical dimensions when each was immersed in water. The difference between these two comparisons revealed that the crown was not solid gold.

Would you like some Cognitive Dissonance with your pancakes?

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation.

Blueberry pancakes and a bit of butter, and paradise cannot be far away.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,
if you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree,
or Washington crossing The Delaware.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
When her muscles start relaxin',
up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso.
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' The Trilon.
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on.
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba.
Here's her social security numba.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
for he went and married Lydia!

I said Lydia...
(He said Lydia...)
They said Lydia...
We said Lydia, la, la!

Andrew Mellon 1855

The problem of the government is to fix rates which will bring in a maximum amount of revenue to the Treasury and at the same time bear not too heavily on the taxpayer or on business enterprises. A sound tax policy must take into consideration three factors. It must produce sufficient revenue for the government; it must lessen, so far as possible, the burden of taxation on those least able to bear it; and it must also remove those influences which might retard the continued steady development of business and industry on which, in the last analysis, so much of our prosperity depends.

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle 1887

alt

They didn't call me "Fatty" because I had an aversion for pancakes.

Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle was one of the leading comedic film stars of the silent era and one of the most recognizable personalities in the world......until tragedy struck.  During a raucous Labor Day weekend party in San Francisco, an actress named Virginia Rappe began complaining of abdominal pains.  She died later that week at the hospital of a ruptured spleen and Arbuckle was arrested for her murder.  The press sensationalized the story and 'Fatty' became the poster boy for the immorality of Hollywood.

Would you like some refraction with your Pancakes?

Refraction occurs when a light ray changes mediums. Light traveling from air and going into water would be an example. The speed of the light ray changes upon changing mediums. In almost every case the direction of the light ray changes also.

Some people look at pancakes from a different angle than we do here in the Canteen.

About a hundred dollars.

Steve McQueen 1930

Television-turned-movie star Steve McQueen was the sexiest and toughest leading man of his day. With his rugged good looks and piercing eyes, he was adored by women and admired by men. He was the epitome of "cool," and his love of racing only added to his tough-guy image. "It takes total concentration to become successful" was one of Steve's beliefs, and his tremendous career showed no signs of slowing down at the time of his death. His starring role contributed to the success of "The Great Escape" which is considered one of the greatest action pictures ever made.

What we have here is a failure to0 communicate about the neccesity of a good pancake breakfast.


Happy Birthday


Louie Anderson 1953

I have been known to devour a few pancakes now and then.

 

  Thermal Ratchets in Physics


Thermal ratchets are overdamped systems that transport Brownian particles with nonzero macroscopic velocity along one-dimensional asymmetric periodic structures due to the effect of nonequilibrium fluctuations, although on average no macroscopic force is acting. It is believed that various biological motion can be explained by the function of tiny motor proteins operating at the molecular scale using the ratchet effect. The statistical description of these mechanism is often referred to thermal ratchets or Brownian ratchets. Our research group at Notre Dame, led by Professor A.-L. Barabási, focuses on the application of the ratchet effect to various systems in condensed matter physics.

Peyton Manning (NFL) 1976

I sure threw a lot of flat things in that Championship game against the mighty New Enmgland Patriots.

One hen

We are counting carats

You can buy a lot of pancakes with a few gems like these.

Carat weight is not a factor which denotes diamond quality. It purely denotes the size of a diamond, by its weight. Obviously it also affects the value or price of a diamond, because consumers tend to prefer bigger rather than smaller diamonds. Large diamonds are also rarer than small diamonds. Because there is higher demand and lower supply for large diamonds, they command higher prices.
Often people talk about the size of diamonds. Size in this context really means weight, as large diamonds will normally weigh more than small ones.

Rye and Egg Pancakes with Carrots

Orange you glad the corny pancake mouse over text is almost finished?

Ingredients

For four people

300g rye flour
1 medium onion
150ml carbonated mineral water
3 medium free range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large fresh carrot
2 teaspoons runny honey
150ml sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
100g Emmental cheese, grated
3 tablespoons olive oil

Recipe

Mix the rye flour with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Grate the onion into the rye flour, then mix the mineral water and beaten eggs into the flour and onion mixture and leave to soak for 30 minutes.

Wash, peel and grate the carrot, then mix in the lemon juice, honey, a little salt and the sour cream. Sprinkle the salad with the mint.

Stir the grated cheese into the rye flour mixture, then shape the mixture into 4 pancakes. Heat the oil a little at a time and fry each pancake until golden brown on each side.

Fold the hot pancakes onto plates with a mound of the carrot salad. Serve to a select ' brunch' of jovial friends after an early morning game of tennis.

On this day

1721 - In Germany, Johann Sebastian Bach published the Six Brandenburg Concertos.

Few musical works are as loved--and as often performed--as the six "Brandenburg" Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Even though he didn't call them the "Brandenburgs," Bach still thought of them as a set.

Each of the six concertos requires a different combination of instruments as well as some highly skilled soloists.

1664 - A charter to colonize Rhode Island was granted to Roger Williams in London.

Rhode Island was a haven for religious dissenters and minorities during Colonial times.

1720 - In Paris, banking houses closed due to financial crisis.


On this day


1765 - Britain passed the Quartering Act that required the American colonies to house 10,000 British troops in public and private buildings.


On this day

In March 1765, Parliament passed the Quartering Act to address the practical concerns of such a troop deployment. Under the terms of this legislation, each colonial assembly was directed to provide for the basic needs of soldiers stationed within its borders. Specified items included bedding, cooking utensils, firewood, beer or cider and candles. This law was expanded in 1766 and required the assemblies to billet soldiers in taverns and unoccupied houses.

 


On this day

1792 - Benjamin West became the first American artist to be selected president of the Royal Academy of London.

The Royal Academy of Arts, London, is the oldest fine arts institution in Britain. It was founded in 1768 and its collection consists of paintings, sculptures, memorabilia, prints and drawings from the 18th century to the present day.


Math Humor

Two mathematicians were having dinner in a restaurant, arguing about the average mathematical knowledge of the American public. One mathematician claimed that this average was woefully inadequate, the other maintained that it was surprisingly high.

"I'll tell you what," said the cynic, "ask that waitress a simple math question. If she gets it right, I'll pick up dinner. If not, you do." He then excused himself to visit the men's room, and the other called the waitress over.

"When my friend comes back," he told her, "I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to respond `one third x cubed.' There's twenty bucks in it for you." She agreed.

The cynic returned from the bathroom and called the waitress over. "The food was wonderful, thank you," the mathematician started. "Incidentally, do you know what the integral of x squared is?"

The waitress looked pensive; almost pained. She looked around the room, at her feet, made gurgling noises, and finally said, "Um, one third x cubed?"

So the cynic paid the check. The waitress wheeled around, walked a few paces away, looked back at the two men, and muttered under her breath, "...plus a constant."


On this day

1878 - The British frigate Eurydice sunk killing 300.

The Eurydice—it concerned thee, O Lord:
Three hundred souls, O alas! on board,
Some asleep unawakened, all un-
warned, eleven fathoms fallen

Where she foundered! One stroke
Felled and furled them, the hearts of oak!
And flockbells off the aerial
Downs’ forefalls beat to the burial.

For did she pride her, freighted fully, on
Bounden bales or a hoard of bullion?—
Precious passing measure,
Lads and men her lade and treasure.
 
She had come from a cruise, training seamen—
Men, boldboys soon to be men:
Must it, worst weather,
Blast bole and bloom together?

No Atlantic squall overwrought her
Or rearing billow of the Biscay water:
Home was hard at hand
And the blow bore from land.

And you were a liar, O blue March day.
Bright sun lanced fire in the heavenly bay;
But what black Boreas wrecked her? he
Came equipped, deadly-electric,

A beetling baldbright cloud thorough England
Riding: there did stores not mingle? and
Hailropes hustle and grind their
Heavengravel? wolfsnow, worlds of it, wind there?
 
Now Carisbrook keep goes under in gloom;
Now it overvaults Appledurcombe;
Now near by Ventnor town
It hurls, hurls off Boniface Down.

Too proud, too proud, what a press she bore!
Royal, and all her royals wore.
Sharp with her, shorten sail!
Too late; lost; gone with the gale.
 
This was that fell capsize,
As half she had righted and hoped to rise
Death teeming in by her portholes
Raced down decks, round messes of mortals.

Then a lurch forward, frigate and men;
‘All hands for themselves’ the cry ran then;
But she who had housed them thither
Was around them, bound them or wound them with her.

Marcus Hare, high her captain,
Kept to her—care-drowned and wrapped in
Cheer’s death, would follow
His charge through the champ-white water-in-a-wallow,

All under Channel to bury in a beach her
Cheeks: Right, rude of feature,
He thought he heard say
‘Her commander! and thou too, and thou this way.’

It is even seen, time’s something server,
In mankind’s medley a duty-swerver,
At downright ‘No or yes?’
Doffs all, drives full for righteousness.

Sydney Fletcher, Bristol-bred,
(Low lie his mates now on watery bed)
Takes to the seas and snows
As sheer down the ship goes.
 
Now her afterdraught gullies him too down;
Now he wrings for breath with the deathgush brown;
Till a lifebelt and God’s will
Lend him a lift from the sea-swill.

Now he shoots short up to the round air;
Now he gasps, now he gazes everywhere;
But his eye no cliff, no coast or
Mark makes in the rivelling snowstorm.
 
Him, after an hour of wintry waves,
A schooner sights, with another, and saves,
And he boards her in Oh! such joy
He has lost count what came next, poor boy.—

They say who saw one sea-corpse cold
He was all of lovely manly mould,
Every inch a tar,
Of the best we boast our sailors are.

Look, foot to forelock, how all things suit! he
Is strung by duty, is strained to beauty,
And brown-as-dawning-skinned
With brine and shine and whirling wind.

O his nimble finger, his gnarled grip!
Leagues, leagues of seamanship
Slumber in these forsaken
Bones, this sinew, and will not waken.

He was but one like thousands more,
Day and night I deplore
My people and born own nation,
Fast foundering own generation.

I might let bygones be—our curse
Of ruinous shrine no hand or, worse,
Robbery’s hand is busy to
Dress, hoar-hallowèd shrines unvisited;

Only the breathing temple and fleet
Life, this wildworth blown so sweet,
These daredeaths, ay this crew, in
Unchrist, all rolled in ruin—

Deeply surely I need to deplore it,
Wondering why my master bore it,
The riving off that race
So at home, time was, to his truth and grace


That a starlight-wender of ours would say
The marvellous Milk was Walsingham Way
And one—but let be, let be:
More, more than was will yet be.—

O well wept, mother have lost son;
Wept, wife; wept, sweetheart would be one:
Though grief yield them no good
Yet shed what tears sad truelove should.

But to Christ lord of thunder
Crouch; lay knee by earth low under:
‘Holiest, loveliest, bravest,
Save my hero, O Hero savest.

And the prayer thou hearst me making
Have, at the awful overtaking,
Heard; have heard and granted
Grace that day grace was wanted.’

Not that hell knows redeeming,
But for souls sunk in seeming
Fresh, till doomfire burn all,
Prayer shall fetch pity eternal.

1900 - In New Jersey, the Carnegie Steel Corporation was formed.

U. S. Steel had its origins in the dealings of some of America's most legendary businessmen, including Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, and Charles Schwab. However, its principal architect was Elbert H. Gary, who also became U. S. Steel's first chairman. At the turn of the century, a group headed by Gary and Morgan bought Carnegie's steel company and combined it with their holdings in the Federal Steel Company. These two companies became the nucleus of U. S. Steel, which also included American Steel & Wire Co., National Tube Company, American Tin Plate Co., American Steel Hoop Co., and American Sheet Steel Co. In its first full year of operation, U. S. Steel made 67 percent of all the steel produced in the United States.

Neither a rags-to-riches biographical sketch nor a perfectly scanned-in image of Mr. Carnegie could serve as as great a personal tribute to the great Founder of Libraries, the earnest Champion of Peace and the resolute Captain of Industry as presenting his own words online--available electronically and immediately to the whole world through the World Wide Web. He would be tickled pink.

1906 - The "Census of the British Empire" revealed that England ruled 1/5 of the world.




1920 - The first U.S. coast guard air station was established at Morehead City, NC.

In March 1920 the Coast Guard's first air station was established at Morehead City, North Carolina, when the service took over the abandoned naval air station and borrowed a few Curtiss HS-2L flying-boats (good pics at links) and possibly one or two Aeromarine Model 40's from the US Navy.  However, funds were not provided to support the operation and the station was closed on 1 July 1921.  During 1925 LCDR C. G. von Paulsen, USCG borrowed a Vought UO-1 seaplane from the US Navy and, operating from Squantum, MA and later Ten Pound Island in Gloucester Harbor, he demonstrated the potential of aviation in combating the smuggling of whiskey.

With an appropriation of money by Congress for the purchase of five aircraft--three  Loening OL-5 amphibians  and two Chance Vought UO-4's--the first to be owned by the service, these were flown from air stations established at Ten Pound Island, Gloucester, MA, and Cape May, NJ.  From that point Coast Guard aviation continued to grow and stations were established around the country.

1947 - The U.S. Congress proposed the limitation of the presidency to two terms.

Amendment XXII

But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

Thank you so much. She is much better although still feeling the aftermath of the incredible fever, but is on the mend. Her sisters assure me she is being well looked after. Frankly, I think it was the power of prayer that turned this scary situation around so thank you all again.
