By the end of today, I'd have built my 8th rocket launcher.

I could imagine if a Chinese has "Strgwgyr" as his first name, his phonetic Chinese name would be really long. Like, "Strgwgyr Shang Guan Wei Ren" would have like 12 characters. Coolness.

I wonder if the theory of evolution is falsifiable.

I would recall here the most obscure yet amazing coincidence I've seen. We just learned about the distinction between (something like) "Je ne sais quos" and "Je ne sais pas" (Along the lines of "I don't know anything" and "I don't know") in a KI lesson. In the very same lesson, Mrs Leong came up with a thought experiment about language involving the Quah twins. After that particular lesson, someone asked Wang Rui and question, and she walked out of the classroom, saying "I don't know anything." I was about to say "Je ne sais quos", and just then one of the Quah twins walked past us, towards the other twin.

It's things like this that make me marvel at the elegant universe.

If I could bring one person from the past to the present, it would be Jesus. I'd like to watch his response as He Googles His name.

Anyway, the way Mr HS Tan conducts his normal physics tutorials are quite amusing.
(while teaching us about the uncertainty principle talks about the photon scattering argument for the uncertainty principle)"... that's the argument here. Are you all convinced by this argument? ...Actually, this argument is wrong. A better answer would be that... (invokes the superposition of wave argument)... by the way ignore this slide. Really, really. Ignore this slide."

"Now, the uncertainty principle only sets the boundary for momentum and position in the same direction; it does not set any limits for the momentum and position in different directions. So, does that mean that there is no limit for the momentum and position of an electron that orbits a nucleus? Actually, to counter that argument, you could invoke the... never mind. (Laughs sheepishly)"
