The poor old year 13s were tired today.
They had the ball on Saturday - maybe that explains it.
We had a special service for the Tongan students today, in remembrance of those who died in the ferry disaster.
This week is the start of Production Madness - a good distraction from cancer, I'm sure.
A very good sermon about prejudice etc. yesterday, by young Jamie Wood.
And then a Pastoral prayer against bigotry - great stuff!
Home group tonight we watched a second dvd with Louis Giglio talking about how great God is - last week was "Indescribable" about the Universe, this week "How Great Thou Art" focussing down to microscopic level.
World's worst inventor?
Most likely Thomas Midgley Junior, who thought it would be good to put lead in petrol, add CFCs to anything remotely in need of "propellant", and became entangled in a pulley system he invented to help turn himself over when recovering from a back injury - the machine strangled him.
My health continues to be glorious - I got a little worried with a cough that came last night, but that has gone now too.
Roll on chemobattle no.8!

and then there is the electric chair , almost named after the man who invented the AC current for the first one : Westinghouse. Now do you look at your fridge/washing machine etc differently?
ReplyDeleteum...yeah!
ReplyDeleteAhem. George Westinghouse *marketed* Nikola Tesla's AC current.
ReplyDeleteBecause neither the AC people nor the DC people (led by Thomas Edison) wanted their form of electricity - both marketed as safe for use in home appliances - to be associated with a device for killing, when Harold P Brown, an employee of Thomas Edison, made the first electric chair he used AC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_chair is interesting.
Aah...
