Yesterday night, upon returning from a lil' dinner cum grocery shopping (gotta stock up on food, a man's gotta eat ya know), I headed to the fridge to store some cold meat and fruits (and I eat healthy!). People living here sure enjoy storing surprises...
In the freezer, was a can of Exploded Coke... bits of icy Coke splattered all over (somehow reminded me of CSI). Anyhow, I myself have stored carbonated drinks in freezas before and nothing like this happened before. It must have been in there for a long, long, long ... x33850227597, long time... Curious as I have always been, I Googled for an answer, after cleaning up the mess of course. Since I feel generous, I decided to share my findings... (cheh wah!):
"Water, has an unusual characteristic whereby in its liquid form, its density is higher compared to when it is in solid form (ice). That is why ice floats in water. Therefore, when the Coke (liquid form) in the can was placed in the freezer, it freezes, thus becoming less dense (and expands). When the container can no longer contain the increased volume, it goes KaBoom!!! Pau Char!"
Thanks to the people from answerbag.com
There ya go, be reminded that this behaviour applies to all form of liquid in containers placed into freezers. The amount of time required for the "explosion" to occur will be proportional to the size of the container vs. the amount of liquid. Google for the formula yourself. Maybe in the near future, instead of grenades, armies can used frozen Coke in wars :: adds an element of surprise... hahaha! Anyone wondering what will happen if you place them in microwaves? Do tell me if you have an answer... *Kids, dun try this at home*
World Cup!
Not everyone follow the World Cup; me for instance, appreciates sleeping more than watching individuals chasing balls. Yah, yah ... yada, yada ... I know that it comes only once every 4 years, so? However, it seems like a lot do take the effort to stay up till wee hours of the morning to catch their favourite team take on and demolish their oppositions! Them, I respect, not their idiocy but their passion!
Ok, here comes the dreaded part, anywhere you go with anybody, everyone seems to be talking bout the game. Be it in the office, your favourite mamak (with your favourite gang), pubs, bars and so on ..... In these situations, you either join them or be shunned by them. But to join them, you will require some information about the matches, else it'll be much more like a chicken talking to a duck... Here are some of Jed's survival tips for the season ::
1. Keep track of the results, if possible, the goal scorers... (know the names = know the games)...
2. Watch the news, the highlights of the game will be repeated (which are superb because it shows how the goals are scored, and the near-misses :: the topics of discussion)...
3. Memorize some common terms used in soccer :: off-side, penalty, midfield, tackle, dribble, header, foul and so on...
4. Gather information from enthusiasts, begin conversation with something like "Hey, did you watch the match last night, between XXX and YYY?" By saying it in an excited manner, it gives an impression that you were watching... and let the lad talk all he wants; he might even be better than the commentator of the match...
5. Google for information...
If you're a great story teller, be creative and descriptive, its your chance to shine!!! Or you can always force your siblings to watch and tell you of the higlights *not recommended*. Further tips are always welcomed!!!
STOMP!
Nopez, its not another play featuring individuals banging stuff running around the stage. STOMP stands for Straits Times Online Mobile Print, an interactive portal project by the Straits Times of Singapore. STOMP was published in yesterday's papers, and I'm talking bout it because a particular section caught my attention ::
