Ignorance is Beautiful

* audio: the journey kopano part III - hans zimmer *

Wow, the long weekend couldnt have come at a better time....I'm finally able to somewhat catch up on all those sleepless nights accumulated weeks before....and I still got one more day to enjoy before going back to the office.....luckily most of my superiors won't be here this week.......what a slacker yours truly is eh haha

I've decided to try and be educational today lol (half of it is useless info)


Did You Know.....

China will soon become the number one english speaking country in the world

The 25% of population of the highest IQ's in China, adds up to be greater than the total population in North America

1 out of every 8 couples married in North America last year met online

The number of text messages sent and received everyday exceeds the entire population of the planet

There are about 540 000 words in the english language, about 5 times as many during Shakespere's time

More than 3000 new books are published daily

It is estimated that a week's worth of "The New York Times" contains more information than a person was likely to come across in their lifetime in the 18th century

The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years. That means for a student starting a 4 year technical or college degree....half of what they learn in their first year will be outdated by their 3rd year of study

Predictions are that by the year 2049, a $1000 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the human race

If MySpace were to be a country, it would be the 11th largest in the world

Last but not least....

Name this country:

Richest in the world ----> Largest military ----> Center of world business and finance ----> strongest education system ----> world center of innovation and invention ----> highest standard of living......


Answer: England


Maybe you knew all that, maybe you didnt, just treat it as general knowledge I guess. Finally got the pics from the trip and my HQ outing all consolidated, might post them up later if I'm not too lazy. Haze was pretty good today, explains why I'm not so sick anymore....I can finally sleep in peace again. My back's also been acting up again....not sure whats going on, maybe need to go back for some physio or something.....sigh, sucks that my back will never be 100% again....all thanks to SBJ!! What if I cant play hockey anymore? =(
