Useless Information Overload~: Why is the clockwise direction in a clockwise direction?
http://triviatriviatrivia.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-is-clockwise-direction-in-clockwise.html
Saturday, September 29, 2007. Why is the clockwise direction in a clockwise direction? Ever wondered why clocks go in a certain direction? There's actually a reason for this!

Wednesday, October 03, 2007. Why does the moon have phases? Notice that when you look at the moon, it looks round on some days and on other days, it looks like a boomerbang or like a half of a pizza (yes i'm hungry). Those are, crudely explaining it, the phases of the moon. So what's going on? Again, this is a concept that's difficult to explain using words, so here's a site. With diagrams to explain. Do read about it and teach others about the correct reasoning! Labels: moon phases misconceptions.

Thursday, September 27, 2007. The other day, when my friend and I were walking past a departmental shop, a DVD we had with us triggered the shop's anti-shoplifting system.
