Cartoons

I don't know if anyone even clicked on any of the last links (c'mon guys, I need feedback here! At least an Lol or SOMEthing), but I guess this is just an update about me.
Well anyway, I've been watching The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon version and so far it's a bit confusing (not as good as the X-men cartoons) but decent. Anybody out there like any cartoon series or movie based off a cartoon?

Star Wars Comic

I thought these Star Wars comics were funny and shared them on Facebook. Decided to do it here too. XD

P.S. Don't forget to watch the vid in my last entry! :-P

Your FUN Economics Lesson

Since I'm in need of a post I decided to share this with everyone, and besides, who doesn't like to watch nice cartoons?

If you all have 20-some minutes here's an episode from Star Wars: The Clone Wars that very much reminded me of our financial dilemma here in the States. Ignore the senator-intimidating if you must, but it may be more real-life than you think:

Economics

I was doing some stuff on a government and economics forum on facebook and I thought to bring this into connection:

I was reading in the bible today about the poor. In the ancient Israelite society everyone had an ancestral property that stayed within the family, keeping them a productive member of their economy. If they became desperate and ran out of luck, they were allowed to sell this property (until the next 50yr space of time, the Jubilee, which had to be there or the ancestor-property thing wouldn't work and someone would buy it all up) in order to get back on his feet.
If they were still poor after that there were other methods they had to keep him from being poor forever. I just thought it quite interesting that back then they tried very hard to keep all of their people on productive land. It's also interesting that it tells us there to LEND to the poor, not to GIVE. That way they have to do something productive with what you give them in order to pay it back.


Just some thoughts.

Design 001

Yeah, the title is too fat, I know. Will fix eventually.

Math, kinda

There is a type of math in the Exact Sciences called Alternate Units (coined by Grassmann). This incredibly confusing non-scalar mode of math using vectors of directed steps across a plane uses equations like 2 x 2 = 0, a^2 = 0, AB = -BA, and 2 x 3 = -3 x 2.
Why I'm writing this in an entry I have no idea. Anyway, it's confusing and I hope I wrote that right as it's just what I think the book 'Common Sense of the Exact Sciences' is trying to tell me about....
