Don’t Drink Hot Water From the Tap

February 3, 2008 on 10:12 am

THE BOTTOM LINEHot water from the tap should never be used for cooking or drinking.

That’s what New York Time said in this article. Interesting. I was told by my friend circa 7 years ago that even though the tap water is drinkable I should use it to obtain cold water only, an advice that I diligently follow. Apparently there is a scientific reason for this ) .

Other interesting (and good) news, in some parts of Indonesia, the tap water can be drank directly. Wonder if my stomach will be strong enough to drink this tap water, though )

IQ Test

Got (less than) 40 minutes to spare? Why not taking this interesting test at http://iqtest.dk/ ?

With my result above (which includes the outcome of several of my answers that were just pure guess p ), it strengthen my believe that evaluating one’s level of intelligence can NEVER be performed by a test lasted for only 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or even 1 day. And also, I consider intelligence without ‘fruitfulness’ ( e.g. use it to improve or help the lifes of others’ ) is meaningless. Intelligence is necessary –no doubt about that– but it is NOT THE ONLY necessary thing to have.

Nevertheless, the test is fun to take, you should give it a shot.

I need to clean up my feed subscribtion )

Been very busy lately finishing up my thesis. The feed reading is cut off (hence the 1000+ number above). The blog writing also unfortunately has to be cut off too. Only for a while I hope, only until the time when I open another new (and exciting, I can’t wait!) chapter of my life.
