Thats to say that my hardest module, Geochemistry is perhaps becoming slightly easier to digest. Well, until the next class when im sure it'll get a whole lot harder! I live in hope!
Some interestingly odd and slightly sick news emerged from Berlin this week where a man was awarded compensation when a hospital lost the top of his head! (i kid you not!) During brain surgery, the hospital put the piece of his skull in a fridge which subsequently broke. The man now has a plastic prosthetic bit filling the gap. Incidentally he was awarded a meagre 3000 euros in damages!
And at a Russian airshow, a wealthy oil barren tried to buy an American B52 bomber, on the spot. Reuters reports that the man, surrounded by body guards, offered to buy it from the American crew and was more than content with the potential price tag upwards of $500million. The crew came to their senses and the plane was not sold!
And finally, a geology related bite of information seems approprite. A guy called Alfred Wegener is attributed with first coming up with the idea of plate tectonics and the formation of mountain belts, continental drift and oceans etc. Blah blah blah... Anyway, i just thought the German for 'Theory of continental drift' was quite funny - "Theorie der Kontinetalverschiebung"
Anyway, ive got a class in a couple of hours and abit of reading to do before that so ttfn amigos!
