Only a few hours till the launch of the Life project!
There are only a few hours left on the countdown, however for now the whole world is looking at the royal wedding!
Well Good luck Prince whats his face and whatchacallher middleton.. I could have just goodled their names but I am lazy..
Just did its William and Kate.
There you go now I know something about it.. yet I still don't think its that important. Marriage is great and its a huge expenditure of money sure, but what I care about is him ruling a country.. Not who he is marrying, people argue that she shall be the queen one day, sure and when she is maybe I will care.
Its not important stop talking about it.
And on that note I would like to leave you with this.
We are all made of starstuff, we where born of the cosmos and when our planet dies so too shall we become the cosmos once again.

NO BOOZE EASTER
So its 12:25 in the afternoon and I am already fairly well into my beers.
But lets recap.
It all started a few weeks ago my friend came up with the crazy idea of not drinking for a few days, well that ended up becoming lets not drink on a public holiday! (we where drunk when this was decided)
And so came the first holiday since, Easter.
So Thursday 1 night before Easter, I started drinking from getting out of bed onwards.
I was hosting a get drunk so we can be sober party! (yes that's what we decided it was called) and I ended up getting close to 20 people in on this idea of sober for the holidays.
About 2 hours into our party my friend brought out what he calls "The plasma grenade"
THE PLASMA GRENADE
__________________
You will need.
Lots of red bull
Lots of Jeigermeister
A shot of Tequila
A jug
two same size tumblers (glasses)
two shot glasses.
Now assemble the Grenade by pouring a shot of jeiger and a shot of tequila into two shot glasses and balancing them in a glass of red bull with the tequila shot higher up than the jeiger.
This means when you take your Tequila shot out of the glass it drops your jeiger into the red bull making a Jeiger-Bomb.
Now once your Grenade is assembled get another glass filled with just jeiger, and balance your Grenade with your jeiger glass in a jug filled with red bull with the Grenade higher so that when you take it out the glass with jeiger falls.
This makes the now dubbed PLASMA GRENADE.
It probably has some other name but we decided after making 4 of these in one night that it should be called the plasma grenade.
So the actual drinking part!
Take your shot of tequila, Chase with Jeiger Bomb, Chase with Jug sized Jeiger bomb!

Friday morning.
UGHGHG
I had a huge hangover and no beer to help me get through it.
I had to rely on my old hang over trick before I discovered I could just get drunk and it would go away..
So me and my friends staggered to our local kebab shop and bought a kebab and a Gatorade each.
SOOOOOOOOOO good.
After that most of my friends decided to go home and sleep accept me and one other.
We decided to go to an all night playboy bunny party.
Good fun and good music happening there.
Unfortunately no drinking which was difficult but good because I went to the city on only $30!
That morning me and my friend went home and that morning got up and journeyed back to the city to go to yet ANOTHER night club.
Still no drinking allowed..
EXTREMELY UNHAPPY HERE.
5AM rolls around and I have to get home.
But there are no buses!!
So I wait from 5am until 10AM for a bus in the freezing cold!
FREEZING COLD, get home at mid day, and first thing I want is a beer but no I have to wait another 12 hours.
I eat a huge amount of chocolate and dress up as the Easter bunny for my neighbourhood's kids! Which was something I wouldnt have done drunk i guess.
So then Anzac day (Easter monday), I had to drink, its anzac day so I went to dawn service and got amazingly drunk!
Then that night I went to disturbed which was a great concert and I enjoyed quite a bit of beer that night!
And then yesterday Tuesday public holiday, I stayed in bed all day, no drinking until Midnight! And I have been drinking since then!
No science today just a weird no drinking weekend!!

Rotating Potato actually gravity map of Earth
PLANETARY PULL from Science News on Vimeo.
^that there is a gravitational map of earth.
Gathered date from the European Space Agency’s GOCE satellite.
The satellite launched back in 2009 uses multiple accelerometers (like the one in your phone but much cooler) to measure exactly how the earths gravity is tugging on it.
The blue is the normal gravity and the red and yellow are deviations.
This new research is designed to help us better understand tidal currents and our earth as a whole..
This video has been lovingly named the "Rotating Potato" by many scientists.

NASA budget cuts leave ESA in the dust.
Two extremely vital astrophysics missions have fallen prey to NASA's strenuous budget cuts.
The first a mission to launch 3 identical craft designed to detect gravitational "waves" could have given new evidence proving that intense gravity (such as merging supermassive black holes) can ripple space time. This in turn would hold true and prove another facet of Einsteins special relativity.
The second a new Xray observatory, designed to detect even the earliest supermassive black holes.
But the NASA funding has been cut on both of these missions.
Why? you may ask?
Well Nasa's total funding works out at 1/4 of a penny per tax dollar.
Education works out at 1 penny per tax dollar and so on and so fourth.
But I say, If 1/4 penny of every tax dollar I spend goes to NASA, then I would just donate all of my tax to NASA (however I am not an American so that doesn't really affect me)
I know the country needs money for other things, but Most of NASA's money comes from private investors.
So now due to less tax revenue in the last few years coupled with so many natural disasters and the exuberant amount of money spent on defense NASA just can't keep up..
