GREAT FUNNY LOGOs

 

Google Pacman  - a fun way to search and play the classic game from the 70s

 

Google Les Paul: - you can play guitar on Google's logo, you can record your song and send it to your friends to listen. That day YouTube was full of recorded songs on Google's logo guitar.

 

Google can also do special search for  mathematical formulas such as these and returns a very familiar result. Copy and paste the formulas and click I am Feeling Lucky.

 

(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200 x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5

or

sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200*x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2)

Oldest-Dog

Pusuke, the recognized world’s oldest dog by Guinness has died – he was 26 years old. Pusuke was born March 1985 in Japan. He was owned by Yumiko Shinohara, a housewife since

she was 16 years old. Pusuke was reportedly eating well and staying active, when he lost his appetite and had difficulty breathing.  Pusuke died peacefully, minutes after his owner returned home from a walk. The oldest-known dog on record, according to Guinness, was an Australian cattle dog named Bluey, who lived to the ripe old age of 29 years and five months before it was put down in November 1939.

New-Periodic-Table

 

 

Livermorium and Flerovium are just two of the newly added elements in Chemistry’s Periodic Table. They are positioned in the 114 and 116 spots under super heavy or Transuranium elements.

The two were actually synthesized some 10 years ago but were only confirmed after repeated experiments. Other elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 have also been synthesized but has not been confirmed yet.

Flerovium will have an atomic symbol of Fl to honor Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, where superheavy elements, including element 114, were synthesized by scientists.  Livermorium will be symbolized as Lv honoring Livermore National Laboratory and the city of Livermore, California.
