The end of mercury thermometers

European Union made year ago another "wise" decision... they forbid the mercury thermometers, because they are supposed to be unhealthy... well maybe if you eat ten of them per day as a medieval cure for your sore throat.

But what is more interesting is, that one daily in the Czech Republic recently made a test of the electronic thermometers and also nurses in hospitals say, that the electronic thermometers are sometimes 2 degrees of Celcius of the scale. Two degrees!!!

Well the mercury thermometer measuers the temperature between 35 and 42 degrees... I guess that the deviation of 2 degrees is hell of a nightmare, because it is quite difference, if you have 36,7 or 34,7 (39 or 41) you name it... it is a difference between healthy (36,7) or a dying person (34,7), or quite ill (39) or dying person... (41).

Really hope I will not break my mercury thermometres I have at home :o).

Dante

Well, I am reading Dante Alighieri now and have to think... why in the time of advanced 3D cinematics no one did the film adaptation of Divina Commedia?

That would be hell of a roadmovie :o). Well, there certainly was a playstation game, but that sucks...

Well at least I see one problem with the adaptation... the main hero, supposedly Dante himslef, does not give crap much about the transitions between the inner circles. Sometimes he faints etc. and wakes up in the next level...

Well I guess that closest to the depiction of the Hell was the movie "What Dreams May Come", which was my favourite when I was at that time.

Tram and theatre

Today it was all pee and old people in the tram, so I came up with an idea of a theatre play.

It would be based in Spain in a retirement house and main characters would be:

Doña Incontinenta and Don Impotente. As a genre cloak and sword/dagger drama would just be it.


I love going in tram to work.

Reading Bible

Recently I started reading Bible. The reason was, that it is often said, that Bible is what made the Western Civilization... must say that it has not changed my mind about the God (yup, He still does not exist for me, not even some Flying Spaghetti Monster), but it is very interesting book to read.

One can see how life was back there for example from all those things which are forbidden etc. I cannot imagine that nowadays priests would be liked if they would be speaking in churches about not f***ing your own mother, because no one who is actually NORMAL does not have such thoughts... but the list in Leviticus of which family members are not bangable, made me really laugh, because someone living in the era, when this was "normal" HAD TO write that list.

Eitherway from this little example we can say that the author was quite succesful. Only the thought of it is like atrocity these days. But on the other hand, it was written back in the old times, where genetics was even not idea and people would not know DNA, but still inbreeding is very bad because of the physical and health damages. So it is both morally and genetically wrong.
