Christmas wishes!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Especially to those who've worked hard all year and deserve the day off. And to those who deserve a day off but will be working anyway.

To the nurses, the doctors, the firemen, the police, mothers and fathers, everyone who works so hard to make the day special: THANK YOU!

Christmas is the act of loving.

Remember this when you open your presents, when you're eating your Christmas dinner, when you're pulling a cracker: seeing isn't necessarily believing; sometimes the things which are most real are the ones that we can only feel.

So instead of asking your parents or Father Christmas for a new iPhone, etc, remember the less fortunate out there. Think of the simple joys that some wish for but can't have. And by LESS FORTUNATE, I don't necessarily mean those in third world countries: I mean anyone who doesn't have what you have.

Think of those people stuck in hospital, possibly waiting for an organ donor, not wanting to wish harm to anyone to get it. Maybe sign up to be an organ donor this Christmas (even though the Opt-out system is so much better) and give these people the gift of hope!

I hope you're happy this holiday, and warm. And content with what you have :) I know I have everything I could possibly wish for (well… maybe not but dissatisfaction runs in the human genes so...!)

Don't forget to laugh and have fun! And be safe!

One foot in the rave: The £20,000 hi-fi coffin that plays music on a loop so you can listen to your favourite tunes in the afterlife

The CataCombo Sound System is the brainchild of Swedish inventor Fredrik Hjelmquist, who says some people believe a beautiful melody 'can reach beyond our senses'.

Dear Mr Postman…

Lego

How many Lego bricks can be stacked one on top of the other before one at the bottom breaks?

Engineers at the Open University have finally come up with the solution to the conundrum and, here's a clue, its probably going to be bigger than you think.

Maths jokes :P

1:
A biologist, a statistician and a mathematician are sitting outside a cafe watching the world go by. A man and a woman enter a building across the road. Ten minutes later, they come out accompanied by a child.
Biologist: They've reproduced!
Statistician: No! It's an observational error. On average, two and a half people went each way.
Mathematician: No, no, no! It's perfectly obvious. If someone goes in now, the building will be empty.

2:
Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip?
To get to the other... Um...

3:
Why should a mathematician always keep him wife and mistress around? (for gender equality put husband and lover)
So that when his mistress thinks he's with his wife and his wife thinks he's with his mistress, he can do Maths!!

4:
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are staying in a hotel. The engineer wakes up and smells smoke. He goes into the hallway, sees a fire, fills the wastepaper basket from his room with water and pours it on the fire, putting it out.

Later, the physicist wakes up and smells smoke. He goes into the hallway and sees a (second) fire. He pulls a fire hose off the wall. Having calculated the temperature of the exothermic reaction, the velocity of the flame front, the water pressure in the hose, etc, he uses the hose to put out the fire with the minimum expenditure of energy.

Later, the mathematician wakes up and smells smoke. He goes into the hallway and sees a (third) fire. He notices the fire hose on the wall, and thinks for a moment… Then he says, "OK! A solution exists!" – and goes back to bed.
