I hope GMA News does not mind me embedding this on my blog. :)

I was interviewed by Ms. Mariz Umali this afternoon on safety of food kids eat in school.

Nobody else took the interview. And I was the unfortunate candidate.

Science and science fiction. Can there be a union between the two?

Alien engineering part 1

I have discovered this video collection from youtube uploaded by RunzWithScissorz.

This is very informative, the analysis based on scientific facts as described by guest scientists (I am not sure though if they are really scientists but why spoil all the fun).

Here is the first installment:

War

I have viewed this video from Yahoo! it has nice music and cute "critters"



War, what is it good for?

The song answers: "absolutely nothing"

Sun Tzu said: "to maintain peace, prepare for war"

It was said that war is a prerequisite for peace and that to achieve true peace we must go to war. Well, it may be true on one side and not on the other.

Peace can be reached by talking or going to war. To talk to achieve peace, people should keep their cool and be patient as it takes time to get the other side to understand the need for peace. It takes long but it involves less damage and death.

On the other hand, you need to go to war to eliminate the threat to peace completely. But collateral damage affects this concept. People will want "justice." Justice for the death and suffering they got from the war. Each death or destruction creates a disheartened or disgruntled individual who will one day pose a threat.

Between fighting and talking, I go for talking but I will take heed of the advise of the old and still prepare to fight.
