That we are mostly, empty space.

If we magnify everything. Cell level, then atomic level, then subatomic level, it's mind boggling that mostly it's just, empty space.

1st Stage:  What?
2nd Stage:  How?
3rd Stage:  Why?

Mansairaku

In some countries, manhole-covers (or drain-covers) berbentuk circular berbanding di negara kita yg kebanyakkannya berbentuk segiempat.  The reason why they made it circular instead of segiempat or segitiga, was because :  a circle mempunyai diameter yang sama pada semua arah .. so, if ada sesapa yg berniat to do vandalism such as membuang manhole-covers tersebut into the drain, they cannot do it ..

berbanding dgn segiempat or segitiga, in which kita boleh flip it and jatuhkan into the drain diagonally ..

Trivia:  one of the questions during interview by Bill Gates, when hiring his staffs ...

Mansairaku

Fact 01:  Gi McD or KFC, sometimes we see "charity box" dekat kaunter pembayaran ..
Fact 02:  We are charged 5% government tax for every purchase in McD/KFC ..

As customers, by paying the 5% gov tax .. at the end of fiscal year, there should be a separate account?/balance sheet (not familiar with accounting terms) indicating bahagian yg kita "beli" and "5% tax".  Yg 5% tax ni nanti, pay to government? (correct?).  Now, individuals and companies are sometimes exempted partially from tax bagi bahagian yg they gave to charities?

Question:  yg kita letak in the "charity box" tu included as exemption from tax for McD/KFC ker?
Question:  McD/KFC pernah put in writing kat maner maner of how much dorang kumpul thru the "charity box" and announced to public ker? (i'm curious .. sbb me tak pernah jumpa?)

or maybe, dorang cannot declare because the "charity boxes" were sent directly to the respective charity organizations? I dont remember .. semua "charity box" ada tulis any particular organization ker?

Disclaimer:
..have nothing against McD, KFC or "charity boxes" ... genuinely curious ...

I can understand the first two line, but the last two...

What does it mean?

i always wonder why 7-11 have locks on their doors and store shutters when they are open 24/7/365?

Agul

Maybe when they want to count the money?

salah satu perkara yang mungkin dianggap remeh by males, tapi sometimes jadi a "dilemma" bagi those yang masak hari hari.  Most probably disebabkan the way female brains work, terlalu concerned dgn "variety" "creativity" "non-repetitive" "complementary" - dishes, while for guys:  "masak je apa yg ada dalam fridge" ?

cliches:  "tak tau nak masak apa", "takde idea nak masak apa"  ...

so my-alja jawab camner kat your son?

Mansairaku

maybe coz the cow ceased to be a cow?
when he started to question the nature of pigs? (pigs aint suppose to fly?) or
when the cow started to think .. that if pigs can fly, why can't I?

Mansairaku

ye tak ye jugak ... good observation!
