Nerdy Runner

Its amazing the things you can think of to prevent boredom on a long run. Pounding along the beach at Sentosa with my bro Hucks, we came up with numerous things to keep our minds off our fatigue.

Amongst these was this game called "Random Statements". Basically, one of us would state a random nugget of information. The other was supposed to decided if it was a true fact of just some rubbish statement. Wasn't very fun but it managed to last us a few K. Here's some random statements:
  1. Did you know that soft shell crabs are not a species of crab. But rather crabs that are caught as they are moulting!
  2. Did you know that the horn of the rhinocerous is actually not attached to its skeleton. It is just hardened hair!

So... fact or rubbish? Go check the Internet for answers!

Well another thing that I did was to figure out an equation for the age old saying "Mind over Matter". Pretty appropriate for the challenge that lay ahead. Here's the equation in its full nerdy glory:

Ok so now with this equation, let me now show that the smaller-sized you are, the stronger you will be. Here we go...

Smaller sized people will have less mass, hence less matter. Since people usually say "Wah! you so small-size, almost cannot see you". We can safely assume that matter for small sized people tends to zero. The equation thus becomes:


As we all know, anything that is divided by zero will become infinity. Hence the left side of the equation will become infinity. So there you have it, the smaller your size, the greater your strength. And if you become so small, you have zero matter, you will become infinitely strong!!

And who said running is just a purely physical activity!!

What a great piece of pseudoscience that equation was. But then black holes are indeed very small objects with an infinite matter density--and their gravitational field is so strong that not even light escapes them!
