Grannies aren't all nice...

My Brave Unc.William Einstein


I read in my Uncle Williams memoirs that when he was younger, he and his parents lived beside the Great Albert Einstein- wow- in New Jersey. He wrote that A.E had played the Sax/Trumpet very badly, and that sadly his genius did not diffuse through the walls. I believe it did. He's such a great man.
I found this picture of Einstein and it made me think of the anecdote my Uncle William shared.


I read an autobiography of Einsteins once, he was a fascinating man. I asked my Professor last year during a neurophysiology practical what the difference between his brain and that of any regular persons was and he said that upon postmortem specialists had found that there are more defined neuron pathways.

I'm going to go buy myself a DS. :)

Signs Of Summer Coming..




The other day I was walking to an exam with Kim, we went through Herbert Park and I spotted the most peculiar looking duck... not like the regular mallards, it was so much more ornate. Upon inspection i noticed it was actually a pair, the female is much more Glam that our little brown ones.

Anyway after much research I found that It was infact a North American Wood Duck!


Their breeding habitat is wooded swamps, shallow lakes, marshes or ponds in eastern North America, the west coast of the United States and western Mexico. They usually nest in cavities in trees close to water, although they will take advantage of nesting boxes in wetland locations if available. The Wood Duck tends to fly for prolonged periods of time after reproducing. Their personality is shy and skittish.

They predict a good summer! Come on BBQ weather!
