Suppose we were to take into account not only the universal laws of physics but also the illusory violation of those laws.

Japanese have long taken pride in their ability to adopt, adapt and improve on customs, practices and styles from other countries.
Some of the results have been, well, interesting to say the least, as can be discovered at the Ice Cream Exhibition being held through to Sept. 30 at Namco Nanja Town in the Sunshine 60 building in Tokyo's Toshima-ku.

"Adults are just obsolete children"
Dr. Seuss
Menger's sponge (sometimes wrongly called Sierpinski's Sponge) is a fractal solid that can be described as follows. Take a cube, divide it into 27 = 3 x 3 x 3 smaller cubes of the same size and remove the cube in the center and the six cubes that share faces with it. You are left with the eight small corner cubes and twelve small edge cubes holding them together. Now, imagine repeating this process on each of the remaining 20 cubes. Repeat again. And again ...

If you're running Mozilla -- my new bestest friend -- you should immediately install the Mozilla Gestures add-on. Gesture support works like this: hold the mouse down and zoom right to go forward, left to go back, up to open a link in a new tab and down to open it in a new window. Booyah!

"Harry doesn't know how long it will take to wash the sticky cream cake off his face.
For a civilised young man it is disgusting to have dirt on any part of his body. He lies in the high-quality china bathtub, keeps wiping his face, and thinks about Dali's face, which is as fat as the bottom of Aunt Penny."

Oompa Loompa doompadee do,
I've got another puzzle for you,
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee,
If you are wise you'll listen to me,
What do you get from a glut of TV,
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three,
Why don't you try simply reading a book,
Or could you just not bear to look,
You'll get no,
You'll get no,
You'll get no,
You'll get no,
You'll get no commercials,
Oompa Loompa doompadee dah,
If you're not greedy you will go far,
You will live in happiness too,
Like the, Oompa, Oompa Loompa doompadee do.
