hahaha silly bee
physics does not apply to you!*
*yes, somewhere it states that the surface area of a bees wings means it generates less lift then required to produce flight, but the equation misses out the fact that the bees wings are flapping, which produces ALOT of lift
The secret of honeybee flight, the researchers say, is the unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, and a very fast wing-beat frequency.
"These animals are exploiting some of the most exotic flight mechanisms that are available to insects,"
A-Levels are just a passing ground to promote University, and nothing more. It's a centre to oil up the gears for future debt.
Kids of GCSE age are taught VERY little about options outside of A-Levels which can still give them qualifications which may help them better than A-Levels.
of course, next up are the TOTALLY pointless Diplomas that are coming up this september, which (having had to prepare documents, schemes of work and syllabuses for one) take about 50% of the usual course content away from the old traditional qualification, to give a more 'open' view to learning. Basically, it's cutting back 50% of 'relevant' info that these kids need to pursue a diploma in a given career path.

I'm glad that most art-based things involve a lot of personal teaching,
rather then relying on other people to teach you how to do it.
It's like an A for anyone who took an exam up to 1993
and then an A is a B and B is a C etc etc
Except they don't have ungraded anymore so I don't think they can possibly fail.
I'm glad I don't have to hire people based on qualifications, its all such bullshit now, people with glowing results from pre 93 now look like fucking cretins on paper.

Robochrist Must Die!
Linkage for those in need weirdness... probably not safe for work (due to loud sweary music) or people with working brains (due to being Robochrist) - One of the best £2 I've ever spent went on his 'EP'

I've got no problem with the look
just all the stuff about "forgetful" robots, bad animation, repetetive animation and the overly "sassy-ness" of the lead girl character

the cartoon was excellent
but Genndy Tartakovsky wasn't kept on to do the CG one - IDIOTS!

the only good star wars things made are when the great fat bearded one isn't looking
Force Unleashed will hopefully be so too. perhaps they distracted GL by making a seperate game for him to wreck then binning the abortive efforts when he's not looking

the Phantom Menace
in my considered opinion, is the worst film ever made. I calculate this using the following equation:
Goodwill of audience / (amount of money spent x pre-film hype)

it was a lot of fun, like the first Star Wars.

Darth Maul, misused, he's the fucking film title and he gets about 2 lines.
Don't remember the Sith back story in it at all, except that there are only 2 at one time.
the pod race does nothing for the plot and has aniken yipeeing all over it. hateful child.

Do they ever burn it and get you all upset so that you go down to complain, but the foremans all like, "quit being a bitch, we get it right most of the time." and your all like, "Yeah lol I guess you do". Then you all sit down and have jam on toast?
