from The Pop TartI think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

A king has to know these kinds of things.
Just so we all know, the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour, beating its wings 7-9 times per second (rather than 43). This is based upon published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study gives an estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour.
Reblogging for the wonderfully nerdish answer.

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.
This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.
…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

from CasualCynicBlogDear all current and future Bennington students:
Until you have done your four years here, you do not understand the meaning of senior work.
You do not know what it means to see something you have agonized, lost sleep over, been amazed and inspired by, and ultimately immersed yourself in for years, come to life.
Not just come to life, but be brought to life by your teachers, the support techs and staff, your peers, and most importantly, you.
You do not understand what it means to take something you care about so deeply, something that has lived inside you, something that cost you thousands of dollars and immeasurable energy to craft over the course of four years, and put it on display as a representation and culmination of your Bennington experience, which is almost impossible to quantify or summarize in any capacity.
And to not only attempt but succeed to do that; to take your deeply personal experience of your Bennington education and personal change and growth, and to boil it down to its essence so that it fits into a few art pieces, or an hour long show, or a thesis, is astounding.
To let other people into your experience that way is a truly admirable act.
In x number of terms, most if not all of you will have to do this.
You will have to examine your time here and attempt to explain what you came away with in your discipline.
When we graduate, we hopefully leave with more questions raised than answered, but those answered questions, that is what senior work is.
That is where you take everything you have learned out of the blender, and assemble it into some sort of concrete answer to those questions.
And then you have to stand in front of everyone and give your answer with conviction.
As a prospective student, freshman, sophomore, you do not understand what that is like.
As a junior, you will only begin to grasp what that means.
I think when you get to senior year, you will probably hope your teachers, and techs, and peers will support you in your mission to define your Bennington experience.
You will want them to respect your education as much as you do.
And the way you get that is by being respectful, and being conscious of the work that goes into every senior work.
Its fine if you cant or dont want to attend, if you cannot participate or help, if you went and left hating that persons work, but at the end of the day you have to be respectful.
To do anything to sabotage anyone’s attempt to create that work, is not respectful, in fact its appalling. It does not make you look better or wiser to do this. It makes you seem unprofessional, petty, and selfish, and it vastly decreases your chances of anyone wanting to support you with your senior work.
So again, even if you disagree or dislike what someone did with their time here, that is fine, there are productive ways to dissent. Undermining someone else’s efforts, is not one of those.
Get some perspective, be respectful.

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever reblogged. I think about this all the time.
Nobody can even comprehend this fact. There are 7 billion people on the Earth. You can’t comprehend an afterlife because it seems too crazy? Well I can’t comprehend this current life and nobody’s going to tell me it doesn’t exist.
Think about it.
YES YES I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THIS THE OTHER DAY because I have this all the time, especially when I travel by train which is one of the reasons why I DO travel by train a lot.
I’M REALLY GLAD THAT THERE’S A WORD FOR THIS WOW
Wow. There’s a WORD for it?
This is CONSTANTLY on my mind. With EVERY person I meet. It’s a bit overwhelming, yet so enthralling. :D
yes yes omg
Omg so weird. This takes up so much of my thoughts
