celine (Rob F):
The Lesson, Part III
A: How does one stop, master?
M: Most people stop indirectly. Others are too tired to go on. The
former run around in smaller and smaller circles until they are
spinning on a point.
A: And then they are still?
M: No, then they are moving faster than ever. Eventually, they get
dizzy, and wobble around for a while. If they remain upright, they
come to a stop.
A: And if they fall?
M: Of those who fall, many never get up. Those who are persuaded to
rise usually resume running. A few stop this way.

Although robust enough for general use, adventures into the esoteric
periphery of the C shell may reveal unexpected quirks.

jsc (Jin S Choi):
Buzz off, Banana Nose; Relieve mine eyes
Of hateful soreness, purge mine ears of corn;
Less dear than army ants in apple pies
Art thou, old prune-face, with thy chestnuts worn,
Dropt from thy peeling lips like lousy fruit;
Like honeybees upon the perfum'd rose
They suck, and like the double-breasted suit
Are out of date; therefore, Banana Nose,
Go fly a kite, thy welcome's overstayed;
And stem the produce of thy waspish wits:
Thy logick, like thy locks, is disarrayed;
Thy cheer, like thy complexion, is the pits.
Be off, I say; go bug somebody new,
Scram, beat it, get thee hence, and nuts to you.

The Strings and Springs puzzle brought to you in hi-res laughics:
___________________________________________
| Z | Z
| Z Spring k=1 | Z k=1
| Z__ | Z
| | \ | |
| | | Z | L=1
\__| | Z |
Z | Z |
Z | Spring k=1 -----
Z / | | w=1/2

Before After
Two springs with k=1 are tied together with a piece of string L=3/8 and the
bottom spring is hook to a weight of mass 1/2. Now, two long strings with L=1
are tied from the roof to the bottom spring and from the bottom of the top
spring to the weight. These are hangling loose and look like "safety" strings.
When the little string in the middle is cut, the weight actually goes up!!!!!!!
My calculations:
F = 1/2 = kx = (1)*1/2 So the left weight is 1/2 + 1/2 + 3/8 from ceiling
Second case F= 1/2 = (kx + kx) = 2kx = 2(1)x So the weight is
1 + 1/4 from the ceiling.
A circuit can be designed using resistors for springs and Zener diodes for
strings according to _Science News_.
This diagram was adapted from the diagram _Science News_ adapted from _Nature_
