Formica

On a particular moment that I was not behind the computer at work, I noticed that the edges of the formica table I've used for almost two months, has this barely visible extra strip were the vertical and horizontal edges meet. It is barely visible unless you put your face close to the table, which I did.
It has a slightly lighter color than the other parts of the table, apparently it seems to make the table look old when it finally starts to decay by the constant use of the edge, for example by resting the hands there on a daily basis.
Interesting.

It's a sad day...

Pushing Daisies has been cancelled after only two seasons...

Things that call my attention

Car versus Man.

The car can only use gas to run, if you put something else in it, it won't work.
On the other hand the man is a extraordinarie machine. It can extract energy from thousands of sources.
I heard that people stranded on an island survived the 3 or 4 weeks prior to their rescue solely by eating the coconut flesh and drinking its water.
A neighbor of my mom in her home town managed to live almost 100 years, and his diet was mostly composed of the most basic foods, like corn tortillas and beans.
It can also create energy from sodas, chips, fried food, and almost anything that you throw at it. Of course, with no so pleasant secondary effects.
