Day with a Difference - Dec 13, 2006

Today's Inspirational Quote:

The more you say, the less people remember. - François Fénelon

Heart Prints

Whatever our hands touch...we leavefingerprints on.On walls, on furniture, on door knobs,dishes and books.As we touch we leave our identity..Oh please where ever I go today...help me leave heart prints.Heart prints of compassion,understanding and love.Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...or a runaway daughter...or an anxious mother...or perhaps a dear friend!I shall go out today...to leave heart prints...and if some one should say..."I felt your touch!"

Expand your knowledge base

If you balanced a broom horizontally on your finger, so that your finger was exactly on the broom's center of gravity, marked that spot and cut the broom in two, then you would have a long and a short piece. The long piece being most of the handle and the short piece being the bristle end and a small part of the handle. Now what will happen if you weigh both pieces? (pick all that apply)

A) The short piece will weigh more.
B) The long piece will weigh more.
C) Both will weigh the same.
D) Your mom will find out and hit you with both pieces!

Scroll down for the answer ....



























Answer

A) The short piece will weigh more! This is due to the torque needed to hold the long piece up. It is the same reason a heavy kid has to sit closer in on a see-saw when he is on it with a lighter friend. Oh yeah, D) may also be correct depending on your mother's temperament.

Have a memorable day!
