Chinese poem - 被遗忘的老歌

在沙与橄榄的地方
妳披着烟火
寻找
地平线那方的家

在狮子与鹿的乐园
妳提着朱砂
寻找
宁静的朝阳

妳
偶尔欢愉时而悲呛
一时快活一时惆怅
我不懂
缘来缘往
是妳
或是我的忧伤

妳披星戴月的步伐
有歇脚处吗
疲惫的心
遗落在何方

我见到妳
在流莺之地往返
我听到妳
在我回家的路上

妳的叮咛
我不愿轻忘
不想遗忘


Tz – 拾起点滴的忧郁，落笔于月光灰暗之下。

Young people just don’t get it

A research conducted by at University College London, UK, suggest that teen cannot discern ideas of adult probably. The experiment, as picture show, is to move the small ball left. As it is spoken by the man in the picture, youngster move wrongly two out of three of this trial. Iroise Dumontheil, a cognitive neuroscientist there says,

A possible future for humankind

Russia Science fiction novelist Vladimir Streletsky, made a list of predictions for Humanity. Some scary, some probable, few of them I would really like to see them through.

2010: Scientists will finally prove that the human soul exists after death;

2030: A complex of measures will be developed to stop the process of human ageing;

2090: Underwater cities will be built;

2114: Mankind will establish first contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations.

A point here really makes me wonder. When we finally got to know there is surely life after death and yet, we want to stop ourselves from ever going there.

I like the funky design. It says you can fart in the rest room, and how the seat electrocutes the woman who seats on it.
