August 8
So we start today’s session a little bit on the “late” side.
So sorry.
Anyway, to my defense, my poor PC is still off in la-la land.
…
And, well… I start off listening to a particularly…
…interesting man singing off “una loca pegada en la pared!”
--Tin-tin--
“En la pared!”
…
…Interesting, indeed…
…So…
First question:
Dear Anonymous,
Regarding to your question sent on… hmmm, Barack Obama’s birthday, in fact (August
4) to my listening “una loca parada en la pared” self, which goes something
like this:
Fact: Some cardiac patients takes nitroglycerin
Fact: Nitroglycerin goes boom if it gets hot or shaken
Question: How come that cardiac patients don't go boom?
I have to say one thing:
That gave me a headache. XD
So, yep, let’s start.
When nitroglycerin is used in pharmacology, it goes under the name of…
“Glyceryl trinitrate”
But which still remains basically the same thing.
Nitro.
Oh yeah.
…
Anyway, nitro is used when there’s angina and heart failure.
And, well… apparently those cardiac patients fortunately don’t go…
As you so eloquently put it…
“Boom” when nitro is stuffed within.
Nope.
You see, nitroglycerin is diluted with some stuff and given in such small
doses that it doesn’t explode.
Sadly, there are some secondary effects:
Head-aches…
Dancing intestine…
Painful peeing…
Incredible lack of sexual desire…
…
I’m sure that last one is especially tragic for a lot of people.
……
Look at the positive side...
It’ll prevent you from having any sort heart attack.
:D
Anyway, see ya!
Thanks!
Have fun!

Dear TF,
Regarding to your question sent on the day where Mexico and the Soviet Union
once-upon-a-time became something-akin-to friends (a.k.a August 4th), to me,
The Pyromaniac Greki (beware, my friend, beware), and which goes something
like this:
About the stone statues/Moai of Eastern Island/ Rapa Nui… What are they
looking for?
I have to tell you something:
About Moai.
Moai are the living faces of the truly, super cool and super awesome, long-dead
ancestors.
Rather long-faced ancestors, to tell the truth…
Anyway, they are these ton heavy monolithic figures carved out from volcanic
ash and used to represent these all-too-important figures of the past.
But why were they placed near the sea?
Who knows.
Ask the dudes who invented them.
Anyway, Moai are almost always looking at the sea.
To be honest, it is within my belief that they’re frustrated.
Why?
Well, they’re sooo close and yet soooooo far away from the sea…
And not able to move and all…
Under the sun…
Among the hotness… XD
Yep. I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes.
…They don’t have shoes, anyway.
So, yep, all together they share this big familial grief…
Under one big family, of course…
“Fraternal Order of Moai”.
And still looking for newbies. :D
Soo, if you ever had dreams of becoming a Moai…
Check out this website:

All your dreams might come true.
So… thanks!
Take care!
