New iGoogle theme

December 8th, 2007

I was checking out the new themes added to the iGoogle page. For those of you who don’t know what iGoogle is, it’s a personalized version of Google which you can add widgets and choose themes.

Anyway, the theme I’m using right now is called Seasonal Landscape. It’s quite cute, and for some reason the ladybug and the frog reminds me of Ams and I. The frog would be me and the ladybug would be Ams. Look at the screen shot below. :P

Seasonal Landscape

Don’t hit that bottle from the top!

December 8th, 2007

I remember this one time at Bramalea City Centre with Ams. We were eating lunch at the food court, and this guy was trying to shake his bottle of iced tea by hitting it. However, instead of hitting the bottle from the bottom, like you’re supposed to, he hit it from the top. The result? The bottle shattered instantly at the bottom.

Today I came across this page talking about how to blow the bottom of a beer bottle. Apparently the pressure from the rushing liquid is enough to break the bottom completely off. I guess when you hit the bottle from the bottom, the metal lid at the top prevents the bottom from breaking?
