TIL: JRR Tolkien’s great granddaughter, Ruth Tolkien, is the only blind person in the UK to be a competitive fencer. She is currently ranked the #186th best fencer in the country.

What about Renaissance Weaponry? Broadswords are nice to look at but I'm more of a rapier type of person

Proof that someone has bitched and will bitch about young peoples’ technology throughout all of time and space.

I’m learning how to use a Pokémon ROM hacking tool called Advance Map. I was thinking on documenting my journey as I learn things and create. Let’s see what happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tried my hand at pokémon variations, and since I love blades of all types, why not try with Honedge? 

Might do more later, but no promises.

Beautiful design. However your third variation is more reminiscent of a saber than a foil

The Sound That Shook The World

August 27, 1883: the earth makes the loudest noise, louder than any it has made since. A volcano on Krakatoa was erupting and it did so with a bang. Literally – the sound was so loud, it was heard across a thirteenth of the globe. If you were in Washington, DC and heard a noise coming from Philadelphia, that would be incredible. But those cities are just 140 miles apart. Krakatoa was heard 3,000 miles away. It would be like if you were in Washington, DC and heard a noise coming from Dublin!   

A barometer at the Batavia gasworks (100 miles away from Krakatoa) registered the ensuing spike in pressure at over 2.5 inches of mercury. That converts to over 172 decibels of sound pressure. A jackhammer is about 100 decibels, and a jet engine is about 150 decibels.  To register as 172 decibels, 100 miles away? People’s eardrums must have been shattering.

Okay, but everything you just listed is now condemned by any modern ethical scientist. Science evolves. It gets better. Mistakes are acknowledged, and then we move on. Just because science USED to be an ethical and political clusterfuck doesn't mean it still is.

Quick fact. Ready? A pregnant mother should limit her caffeine intake to 300mg per day. This is due to the caffeine transfer that can take place through the placenta or breast milk, increasing the likelihood of caffeine addiction in the infant later in life.

Not only adults can be addicted to caffeine. Strange, huh.

Me, a science witch: There is a god/goddess for every element on the periodic table and they all are out to get me.

This is crazy.

Ok so my sister is a science teacher, and she was doing an experiment with ammonium triiodide where you’d put some of the little purple crystals on the table and beat it with a metre stick from a distance and it would explode in a cloud of purple smoke. The thing is, another teacher was helping her clean up afterwards and he dropped a load of the small crystals on the floor but they couldn’t pick them up because they’d explode if they tried.

So that’s how my sister and her science bro ended up walking around a lab with purple smoke explosions rising around them like really dramatic Disney villains and cackling at each other.

Mad Science [Sentence Starters]

“It’s alive!” ”I’m your new assistant.” ”You can’t just play god! It’s not right!” ”Hit the switch!” ”Look at my creation. It’s so beautiful.” “Do you think this will really work?” “Just another failure.” “Let me show you my laboratory.” “You’re saying I’m just a science experiment?” “Never tell anyone what you’ve seen here today.” “I hope you have a strong stomach.” “What does this switch do?” “You’re my new assistant, I take it?” “Be very careful. One wrong move and this place is up in flames.” “The world isn’t ready for your experiments.” “The world isn’t ready for my experiments.” “We’re going to change the world.” “What if we get caught?” “You’re brilliant. Twisted, but brilliant.” “You created me. Why?”
