Want answers to our past? Want to know if dinosaurs really had feathers? Or what exactly killed off the dinosaurs? Or if Jesus existed? What did he look like? So many questions...

I once had this conversation with my colleagues about this simple solution and this topic is once again brought up on a blog I frequent. (This is also indirectly inspired by one of the greatest sci-fi movies I had ever had the pleasure to watch recently: The Man From Earth)

I have the answer to get those answers!

The Mirror. Specifically, One big giant mirror in space reflecting back at Earth.

Hear me out:
Working on the same principle that when we look at stars up in the sky, what we actually see is the past of those stars. Given that the light from that star travels many light years to reach our eyes. So...

1) We make a giant mirror
2) Send it out to space.
- Place it 1,000,000 light years from earth if we want to see Earth 2,000,000 years ago
- Place it 1,005 light years from earth if we want to witness the birth of Christ
3) Aim that mirror back at Earth
4) Setup telescopes on earth to the mirror
5) Sit back and "reflect" on our past!

See? Easy-peasy.

Forgot what you had for breakfast a year ago? No problem!

* And for those of you that are picky about details regarding my picture above... the answer is "no", there isn't a reflection of a telescope in the mirror. Remember, the past will not have anyone looking back! Duh.

Ahhhh! I've gained weight!

With all the events happening Cat and Drew's wedding, Olympics, Chinese New Year dinners ect... I believe I've gained some weight. I dare not step on the scale but just want to go on the treadmill. In fact, I should do it now.

One Solution to the World: The Straw!

The world we know it is officially in a state of emergency. The wars we have are mostly due to religions or lack of land (Japan.. ok, that's an old story of WWone, but, c'mon, look at them.. they're stuck on a tiny island. They need space!). And, if you think about it, if we had more land, Religion wouldn't be an issue either. Like Lex Luthor said, "Real Estate is ALWAYS in demand!"

Then we have Global Warming. All that ice melting, threatening to turn Los Angelos into the next Atlantis. (I'm not feeling the beach front resorts in Minnesota.)

the solution: The Big Straw.

Ok, hear me out...

From the ocean, build a giant straw up to space. siphon some of the Earth's water into space. Not all of it, just say... 20% of what we have. Didn't need all of it. We have too much of it anyways. "75% of the Earth is water?!?" Not like human population is THAT thirsty. C'mon. Like I said, we need land. Ok, so, who's gonna suck the straw? Mother Nature! (Wait. on a side note... does she live in space too? or just confined to Earth?!?) Anyways... back on topic. Space is a vacuum. It will do it automatically. Genius, right?! No need for anything mechanical. Nothing fancy. Just a tube. We can regulate the amount of water transferred. Once we feel it's a good amount we pull the straw out. Done. It's literally a giant cylinder from Earth to Space.

And it's cheap to make! If the government(s) aren't willing to invest in such an awesome idea, the people can do it. Use the drinking straw. Sure, it's smaller in diameter, and it might take a bit longer to suck up the water, but, it's free!

Here's how we'll do it:
- A typical McDonald's drinking straw is 9 inches long.
- And each McD's probably has about 1000 pieces in stock at any given time.
- That's 9000 inches of straw in each restaurant.
- (According to Wikipedia) there's over 31,000 McDs worldwide.
- That means 279,000,000 inches (or 23,250,000 feet) of straw in all of McDs.

Our goal is the exosphere, which is only around 2,500,000 feet. So, we're definitely good. (Even with the overlap you need to connect the straws together.)

That's it. Simple, eh? World's problems all solved (well, except taxes).

Bonus: Wouldn't it be cool if we used those bendy straws instead!?

Ok.. I gotta stop smoking.

On the road to better living...

So I woke up this morning and found a book " Chinese System of Food Cures". I've decided I'm going to incorporate some chinese dishes and make up some of my own. I need these dishes to be healthy, easy and cheap. So our first meal for today is: brown rice, broccoli, carrot, turkey breast, orange and water. Tonee and Sephie is also getting the same meal just different portion. The one is the picture is Sephie's portion. Mine is a bit more and Tonee's the most. I forgot to mention about the sauce. I've made it tasty (ginger, oyster sauce, cornstarch, oil, black bean sauce).

360 days to go.

Lina's Weight Goal

During grandmother's 100th birthday banquet four days ago. I had made a promise to lose weight within one year. I'm not sure how in the world I'm going to do this but it has to be done! I've also setup the counter to motivate

Xmas feast: Turducken!

====

This is a Turducken. If you don't know what it is... it's a culinary beast of perfection! And when I say beast.. I mean THREE freaking beasts in one!!! What you see here is a whole de-boned chicken... INSIDE a whole de-boned duck... INSIDE a whole (almost) de-boned turkey!!! (only the wings and drumstick are left behind). Awesomeness.
