Maraca Man

If you hear a rattle
don't be worried
It's meds in my system
they won't be hurried

I take so many there
in a jam
Lines up in my system
I'm the maraca man

Side effects and sweats
shakes and the shivers
They shoot through my bloodstream
like Robin Hood's quivers

I see my pills
so ordered so neat
Like an astronauts food
my freeze dried treats

DRUGS..


In Colombia, illegal drug trading is worth around 10 Billion Dollars each year.

30% of world famous rock stars are dead because of extreme drug or alcohol use

In Holland, there are official institutions that you can bring your own drugs to get their quality checked.

In Singapore, possessing or using narcotic drugs is punished by the death penalty.

There is a special nail polish that was developed to detect drugs in your drink!

Every year over 100,000 babies are born addicted to cocaine in the USA.

In North Korea, marijuana is legal and it is not considered to be a narcotic drug.

In 1994, 75 bundles of cocaine were thrown from the air in Florida. Surprisingly, the cocaine bundles were thrown to an area where a summit against crime was happening.

Many antidepressants cause sexual side effects and limit the feelings of love and romance.

Only 1% of heroin addicts agree to go to rehab


THAT'S AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING

In January 2011, it was reported that Colombian drug dealers had attempted to smuggle marijuana into a prison using a pigeon as a carrier. A 45-gramme (1.6-ounce) package was strapped to the pigeon and it was released in the direction of the Bucaramanga jail. The package, however, was too heavy for the bird, and it was found by police officers flapping on the ground near the prison. Inmates of the jail probably trained the bird, and they had been used previously to smuggle mobile phone SIM cards into the jail.

I write about big things.
But, it’s time to talk of the small,
of little pleasures of smaller joys.

A lick from the dog
Clean sheet smell
Chinese chicken curry
Melodious church bell

Sun through the curtains
A really good sneeze
Elvis on the radio
Quite a strong cheese

My spex with no spots
A pair of odd socks
Bacon and eggs
Soft ticking of clocks

Smell of cut grass
I’m Captain Kirk
A free parking space
A weekend off work

A freezing cold pint
I nice new haircut
Batman and Robin
Nice clean smut

The laugh of a child
A fresh coffee pot
A blackbird’s singsong
A nose clear of snot

HOW SMALL ARE WE?
Our sun is one of at least 100 BILLION stars, just in the Milky Way. Scientists calculate that there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, each one brimming with stars. There are more stars than grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches combined. 

The Milky Way is a huge city of stars, so big that even at the speed of light (which is fast!), it would take 100,000 years to travel across it.

 Roughly 70% of the universe is made of dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 25%. The rest — everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter adds up to less than 5% of the universe.

If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth would be the size of a penny.

The sun accounts for almost all of the mass in our solar system. Leaving .2% for all the planets and everything else.

Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe is expanding and that at one point in time (14 billion years ago) the universe was all collected in just one point of space.

 Four American spacecraft are headed out of our solar system to what scientists call interstellar space. Voyager 1 is the farthest out — more than 11 billion miles from our sun. It was the first manmade object to leave our solar system. Voyager 2, is speeding along at more than 39,000 mph, but will still take more than 296,000 years to pass Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky..

THAT'S AMAAAAAZING

Smallest Hypothetical Object in the Universe: The smallest hypothetical objects in the universe is a thing which does not have any mass and dimensions. Its existence is also not proven yet. According to string theory, all universe is made up of tiny vibrating string-like structures which interact with each other and give rise to mass and energy.


RANDOM JOKE OF THE DAY...
My Dad always told me “Don’t be quick to find faults.” 
Great Dad, terrible geologist.

Word of the day: SCURRYFUNGE - to rush around cleaning before visitors arrive

Take a listen....will you work out the twist?

The Cat on The Mat

Einstein's Cat
It sat on the mat
Relative, but true
Schrodinger's Cat
Was dead on the mat
Or was it one of a two?

Which cat is alive?
Which one is dead?
The concept within
Confuses your head

If the cat on the mat
is the one that's alive
Then how did it die?
Or did it survive

I think the thesis
Maybe perturbing
Anyway
I'm Pretty sure
The Mat was
Green.
