Tobi 冷知識: 人死為鬼，鬼死為聻。[ 聻: 漸 (粵)]

出自《五音集韻》說：「人死為鬼，人見懼之；鬼死為魙，鬼見怕之。」 [魙: 同"聻"]

著名的《聊齋誌異》中亦有提及。

《聊齋誌異‧章阿端》: 「人死為鬼，鬼死為魙。鬼之畏魙，猶人之畏鬼也。」

那聻死為什麼？聻可以死嗎？

My Easter Present

Well, I never expected to get a Easter present because I am not accustomed to celebrate Easter nor people around me. It's just another holiday to me like Labor Day, National Day, et cetera with no special feelings attached to it.

Then my housemate Brad bought me a giant chocolate egg on the past Saturday. It was as big as my head! (maybe I have a smaller than average head...) It was really a surprise and I liked it.

Unfortunately, it has to be broken into pieces in order to eat it and that's what I did last night.

Good bye, chocolate egg.

Is this what Mormonism teaches?

I have not verified the truthfulness of this video nor it is worthwhile for me to do so. It's simply fun to watch.

I am a Satanist

"I don't believe in God anymore. I am a Satanist."

"I think that's a atheist. Satanist...... do things to goats."

What religion on Earth can possibly be more misunderstood than Satanism?

If you can come up with one, please kindly tell me.

When most people hear the term "Satanism", they think of things like animal sacrificing, digging graves, heavy metal music and teenage fans, or any other ridiculous things they see in the media and movies that they believe is real.

What if I tell you there is a kind of Satanism that the followers are rational and responsible adults, atheistic and do not believe in Satan as a supernatural deity, do not do human and animal sacrifice and harming children as it is explicitly prohibited, do not proselytize their beliefs?

Hard to believe, huh?

Now, can you see Darwinism at work?

This is definitely a "natural selection" to eliminate the incompetent.

So, you are straight...

The Heterosexual Questionnaire (Source)

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and how did you decide that you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?

4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

6. Do your parents know that you are straight? Do your friends and roommates know?

7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?

8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

9. Why do heterosexuals feel so compelled to introduce others into their lifestyle?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?

11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to

please each other, being so anatomically different?

12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships between heterosexuals?

13. Statistics show that lesbians have the lowest incidence of sexually transmitted disease. Is it really safe for a woman to maintain a heterosexual lifestyle and run the risk of disease and pregnancy?

14. How can you expect to become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?

15. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

16. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his/her own leanings?

17. There seems to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?

18. Would you want your child to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?

19. Are you sure you're heterosexual? You don't look heterosexual.

The intent of this questionnaire is to ask heterosexuals the questions, typically asked of homosexuals. By trying to answer these kinds of questions, one can gain some insight into how oppressive and discriminatory a “straight” frame of reference can be to gays and lesbians.

This may not be your first time watching or reading this, but I still think it's worthwhile to post it here.

You cannot escape...

You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

- James Allen

It terrorized me that I cannot escape from what I think, because I am always unsatisfied with my thoughts but I cannot stop acting upon my thoughts.

There is no escape.

I must evolve.

Balls

While we were walking to the bus stop after I delivered a package... Me to my housemate: I have bigger balls than you do. He said: How do you know? Me: I peeked through the window while you were having a shower. (which is impossible without a ladder.) I was wearing a fuzzy hat with two dangling decorative fur balls. End of story.

Open/Closed Minded, Introspection & Convictions

If you ask anybody if are they open minded, they will most probably say yes. But not everybody is open minded. Is this a problem of introspection or the person is just bragging? To be honest, I think I am a bit closed minded. I would say I'm somewhere between open and closed minded (the little gray area). If someone came up with a point which is challenging my convictions, I will probably first deny the whole thing (a normal reaction just as everybody does) and then examine it thoroughly, to determine whether the new argument or my conviction is more practical and useful. Then just discard the impractical one. I don't care whether it's the new one or the old one. As long as it works for me, it's fine. Practicality is the measure of my convictions. 

Definitions: Open-minded - "unprejudiced: free from prejudice and receptive to new ideas" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "willing to consider ideas and opinions that are new or different to you own" (Cambridge, 2003) Closed-minded - "closed to new ideas or opinions: rigidly and obstinately averse to the consideration of new ideas or other people's arguments" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007) Introspection - self-examination: the detailed mental examination of your own feelings, thoughts, and motives (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "examination and consideration of your own ideas, thoughts and feelings" (Cambridge, 2003) Convictions - "firmly held belief: a belief or opinion that is held firmly" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "a strong opinion or belief" (Cambridge, 2003)

有有弄錯？

事情是這樣的， 通常我每天的食糧是一叮即食的 microwave food， 我常吃的是 Salmon with pasta。 醬汁跟 pasta 是分開兩個 tray 的， 先把醬汁加熱，然後再放 pasta 進去一起加熱。 但是每一次把 "Salmon with pasta" 加熱的時候， sauce tray 都會"爆炸"，導致醬汁四濺， 害我每一次吃這個 Salmon with pasta 都要清潔微波爐。 我是有依照建議加熱時間及指示的。 Tray 1: 850 Watts 2 min 之後 Tray 1+2: 850 Watts 4 min. 可是我的微波爐只800 Watts， 就算我依照 850 Watts 的建議時間用800 Watts 加熱，(所以energy input 少了些許) 我也得要清潔微波爐。 因為是海鮮，我又不敢減短加熱時間。 (平時還拉不夠肚子嗎？) 叮 Beef & mushroom with pasta 又沒有問題。 到底有沒有弄錯？ 我想是時候給那些沒事做的食品意見熱線的接線生一個電話。 要不是有這樣的情況發生，誰會有空打去給意見？ 先去清潔微波爐......

懷舊一下

陳潔儀 - 等了又等

不可小看一隻小鳥的力量!

一隻小鳥跟牠的麵包可以幹什麼呢？ 弄壞 造價接近百億美元 世界上最大的 粒子加速器 LHC﹗ 話說在十一月三日，一隻小鳥不小心跌了牠的法式麵包碎， 而這小小的麵包碎巧合地跌落LHC的外置電力供應系統， 導致短路，觸發了保險裝置而關閉了LHC的部分降溫裝置。 發言人說︰「小鳥安然無恙的飛走了，可是牠失去了牠的麵包。」 我覺得CERN應該要賠償小鳥的損失 (說笑)。 而小鳥和麵包碎怎樣走了進去也令人費解， 這個不是multi-billion dollars的機器嗎？

獄龍札記的由來

其實開這個新blog是沒有什麼特別原因， 只是不喜歡舊的platform不夠簡潔， 而且又真的用了太久，需要換一換風格。 在這裡，我會寫我的所見所聞、所思所想。 說真的，請不要對我的札記有什麼期待， 我是一個大悶蛋(笑)。 我再不多用我的中文， 我可能會失去中文書寫能力。 敬請細心閱讀我的自我介紹， 因為我也花了不少心思才寫成的。
