Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays. Wednesday September 17, 2003 |

Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.

I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing in-decipherability, transcendentalises intercommunications incompre-hensibleness |
RHOPALIC |
Of text in which each word contains one more letter or syllable than the one preceding it. This word derives from the Greek rhopalos, for a club or cudgel which, like most of its kind, is thicker towards one end than the other. Though the English word is first recorded only at the end of the seventeenth century, the technique is almost certainly much older. It is commonly applied to poetry whose words advance each time by one syllable, or sometimes one foot, but it can also apply to prose. The classic example of the latter form was created by Dmitri Borgmann: I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing in-decipherability, transcendentalises intercommunications incompre-hensibleness, which manages the difficult feat of reaching a word of twenty letters. (David Crystal, who quotes this in his book Language Play, remarks: It would be ultraconscientiousness to go further. Even overintellectualisation, perhaps.) In poetry, such wordplay has also been described as snowball verse and wedge verse. |

A man went to the doctor with a really bad infection. The doctor informed him he had Aids with just about every kind of infection there is to go along with it. The patient asked the doc what they were going to do for him. The doc answered that he was going to put him on a diet. "A diet! What kind of diet?" questioned the patient. "Pizza & pancakes," answered the doc. "Pizza and pancakes! Will that help?" queried the patient. The doctor replied: "I don't know, but it's the only thing we know of that we can slide under the door to you." |

It is shown how, within the framework of general relativity and without the introduction of wormholes, it is possible to modify a spacetime in a way that allows a spaceship to travel with an arbitrarily large speed. By a purely local expansion of spacetime behind the spaceship and an opposite contraction in front of it, motion faster than the speed of light as seen by observers outside the disturbed region is possible. The resulting distortion is reminiscent of the ``warp drive'' of science fiction. However, just as it happens with wormholes, exotic matter will be needed in order to generate a distortion of spacetime like the one discussed here.

Below is an animated proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Starting with a right triangle and squares on each side, the middle size square is cut into congruent quadrilaterals (the cuts through the center and parallel to the sides of the biggest square). Then the quadrilaterals are hinged and rotated and shifted to the big square. Finally the smallest square is translated to cover the remaining middle part of the biggest square. A perfect fit! Thus the sum of the squares on the smaller two sides equals the square on the biggest side |
