| 586627 | 2007-09-01 00:14:00 | Fathers day is an opportunity to have one's family take one out for a meal, notwithstanding that Dad usually ends up indirectly picking up the tab. The whole family go out to a Restaurant, my wife insists on paying with her credit card, which is a joint one - guess who pays the credit card bill. I would rather stay home and have a bloody good barbecue, than go to some posh expensive restaurant, and pay a fortune for a smaller than entree size main meal. Presents, usually something that has been chosen with the minimum of thought - the monty for me was being given a cheap ($20)Stanley hammer, because the expensive ($100+) Eastwing hammer I use is getting old.:badpc: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Correct me if I am wrong.but 800 kiwis abandon here a week. Which tells us what.? While I am at lets consider the famous kiwi Earnest Rutherford. Earnest Rutherford Ernest Rutherford's family emigrated from England to New Zealand before he was born. They ran a successful farm near Nelson, where Ernest was born. One of 12 children, he liked the hard work and open air of farming, but was a good student and won a university scholarship. After college, he won another scholarship to study at Cambridge University in England -- a turning point in his life. There he met J.J. Thomson (who would soon discover the electron), and Thomson encouraged him to study recently-discovered x-rays. This was the start of a long, productive, and influential career in atomic physics. Rutherford eventually coined the terms for some of the most basic principles in the field: alpha, beta, and gamma rays, the proton, the neutron, half-life, and daughter atoms. S |
