The Second Coming
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, ‘OK, Mrs. Jones, what’s the problem?â€
The mother says, ‘It’s my daughter, Darla. She keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight, and she’s sick most mornings.â€
The doctor gives Darla a thorough examination, then turns to the mother and says, ‘Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant — about four months would be my guess.â€
The mother says, ‘Pregnant?!? She can’t be. She has never even been left alone with a man! Have you Darla?â€
Darla says, ‘No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!â€
The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out of it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, ‘Is there something wrong out there, doctor?â€
The doctor replies, ‘No, not really. It’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the East and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be darned if I’m going to miss it this time!â€
Full Moon
The full moon rises over a mountain top. Taken by Vincent Jacques during December\’s Perigee Moon when the moon was closer to earth than it\’s been in the past ten years. spaceweather.com/archive.php?month=12&day=12&year=2008&view=view
Teeny Ted from Turnip Town
At 0.07 mm X 0.10 mm, ‘Teeny Ted from Turnip Town’ is a tinier read than the two smallest books currently cited by the Guinness Book of World Records: the New Testament of the King James Bible (5 X 5 mm, produced by MIT in 2001) and Chekhov’s Chameleon (0.9 X 0.9 mm, Palkovic, 2002). By way of comparison, the head of a pin is about 2 mm.
The team used a focused gallium-ion beam and one of the electron microscopes at SFU’s nano-imaging facility. With a minimum diameter of seven nanometers (a nanometer is about 10 atoms in size) the beam was programmed to carve the space surrounding each letter of the book.
