蕭亞軒 - 想念耶誕節

為什麼這個世界 節日只為戀人準備 卻忘了撥出一天 給落單的人安慰 
節日裏情人之間 總有感人的情節 我記得和他依偎 想起來像在昨天 
愛還在 我心深處裏面 雖然我口中說那一切都是過眼雲煙 
卻掩不住心中的想念 我多想 在愛一遍 像那一年的耶誕節 
看著流星 他許願 想要在我一千年 
我多想 兩個人的耶誕節 和鐘聲響亮的誓言 
張開雙眼 卻看見 我在離開愛情好遠 寂寞夏天 
就算平常的時間 相愛的人們也喜悅 遇到了祝福時節 
更箱擁有了世界 我卻一個人面對 逃避不及孤單滋味 和張貼琳榔滿街 
歌頌愛的廣告字眼 他心裏面 是否也有許多懷念 
在這個世界 某個人某段情 很難取帶重現

An Engineer's Xmas

There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house.

Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks.

This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.

The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them---Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).

600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance-this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.

Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in

.001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.

Have a Merry Christmas!

B.A.D. - Crazy

看妳低頭在哭泣我始恨我自己不該讓妳傷心怎麼辦?
妳在我心裡最美我不在乎那個誰我只愛妳不能說散就散
愛是溫柔的暴力我的心妳佔據那軟弱的抵抗也沒有什麼意義
I get a little bit crazy, Baby 誰都看出我愛妳
每一次見到妳 Crazy, Crazy 我都不明白自己
有一點瘋吧要妳多看我一眼惹妳注意黏妳煩妳
我只想靠近妳有意無意現實可以虛擬我的愛不可懷疑

不要對愛我害怕我的心是妳的家我會在妳的身邊永遠都在
妳那小小的身軀什麼力量讓我著迷
Girl, 我怎麼可以讓妳離開
妳的痛苦痛著我的心妳的笑快樂著我
沒有理由瘋狂愛妳管它明天就要來
I get a little bit crazy, Baby 誰都看出我愛妳
每一次見到妳 Crazy, Crazy 我都不明白自己
有一點瘋吧要妳多看我一眼惹妳注意黏妳煩妳
我只想靠近妳有意無意現實可以虛擬我的愛不可懷疑
(Crazy Crazy....Just a little bit crazy)

誰也不能瞭解有些狂野那親密私密無人代替
Everynight everyday everywhere
不願意我不願意片刻和妳分離

B.A.D. - 半點心

半夜三點我還在外留連不知不覺我又想起她的美
分手早已經過了好幾年只剩痛的感覺在身邊
她的身影又浮現她的眼有一種東方美 Oh~她的臉有一種西方味
她的笑好像那全世界都大聲喧嚷為她陶醉
but她的話刺痛了我不說 Oh no this is how I feel tonight
baby I love you 妳卻不懂

半點心只剩一半不能繼續留下我在獨自哭泣
傷痛欲絕我早已沒有勇氣
我的心只剩跳動不再有妳忍住眼淚不再懷疑
擁有的只有我沒有妳的未來日記失去意義

半夜三點妳沒有在身邊不知不覺我又開始在想念
童話故事情節已不見記不記得初吻的地點
她的身影又浮現她的眼有一種東方美 Oh~她的臉有一種西方味
她的笑好像那全世界都大聲喧嚷為她陶醉
but她的話刺痛了我不說 Oh no this is how I feel tonight
baby I love you 妳卻不懂

我的心跳不再有妳我的天空不再放晴整個世界不再美麗我的人生不再成立
your pretty face keep pop'n up you know my heart had just crush down
how do you want me to find out I just want your answer now

考試作弊的六大要訣！智、勇、仁、義、信、禮。

第一，智，考試時要眼看監考老師的位置，耳聽八方同學的答案，這就叫作智。
第二，勇，就算監考老師在旁邊走來走去，也要面不改色，不慌不忙的繼續作弊，這就叫勇。
第三，仁，有同學作弊被抓到時，要做出很同情的表情，這就叫作仁。
第四，義，自己作弊被抓到，千萬不可以把同學供出來，這就叫作義。
第五，信，千萬不要懷疑自己作弊的答案，要相信答案，這就叫作信。
第六，禮，考試的分數，千萬不要比幫助自己作弊的同學還要高分。
