Korean-like

WBCⅡ（2009 World Baseball Classic）複賽又發生了蔑視主辦國和對手的插旗行為。

來觀賞一下“Korean-like”

Square Root Day

有位印度人在本宅犬的新twitter告知「happy square root day」。

國內都沒人寫關於Square Root Day的事，只好google一下。

Square Root Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on days when both the day of the month and the month are the square root of the last two digits of the year. For example, the last Square Root Day was March 3, 2009 (3/3/09), and the next Square Root Day will be April 4, 2016 (4/4/16). The final Square Root Day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081. Square Root Days fall upon the same nine dates each century. The exceptions during this millennium are during the 21st century with the 10/10/2100 day and 22nd century with the 11/11/2121 and 12/12/2144 days also being the Square Root Days.

Ron Gordon, a Redwood City, California high school teacher, created the first Square Root Day for September 9, 1981 (9/9/81).

One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating square radishes, or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections (thus creating a "square root").

毒吸管

「黃、橘吸管含鉛」 大賣場緊急下架。
這是今天下午最夯的新聞！
其實這報導有二個問題點，一是鮮艷顏色製品(而且是食具!)含鉛，另一個是塑膠加熱析出有毒成份問題。
