Hello All,
My friend Nadia introduced me to this song, and I can't stop listening to it/trying to sing it - I found the lyrics, but there were a whole whack of errors, so I've been efficiently using my time by not studying and fixing the lyrics, so I thought I'd share the final product with all of you! My work should go to good use, right? Haha - at least I have a little something to show for all this wasted time ;-)
well you done done me and you bet i felt it
i tried to be chill but you so hot that i melted
i fell right through the cracks and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my bestest
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
i reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait i'm yours
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
i like peaceful melody
it's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
so i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours
*scat*
i've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
but my breath fogged up the glass
and so i drew a new face and laughed
i guess what i'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue
i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, I'm yours
no i won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours
No please don't complicate
our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
i like one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, love, love love
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
well look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
i like happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
I like peaceful melodies
it's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved
I'm Yours from the album "Sampler 001" by Jason Mraz

10 fun science questions!
Why is the sky blue? Facts you should know
Scientists offer 10 basic questions to test your knowledge.
Andrea L. Gawrylewski, Columbia News Service
Think you know you know your science? Recently, several science gurus -- Nobel Prize winners, institute heads, teachers and others who spend most of their time thinking about science -- were asked, "What is one science question every high school graduate should be able to answer?"
Take their quiz and see how you do.
1. What percentage of the earth is covered by water?
ROBERT GAGOSIAN, WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE
2. What sorts of signals does the brain use to communicate sensations, thoughts and actions?
TORSTEN WEISEL, ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE, NEW YORK
3. Did dinosaurs and humans ever exist at the same time?
ANDREW C. REVKIN, NEW YORK TIMES SCIENCE REPORTER
4. What is Darwin's theory of the origin of species?
JONATHAN WEINER, 1995 PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR
5. Why does a year consist of 365 days, and a day of 24 hours?
LESLIE SAGE, NATURE MAGAZINE
6. Why is the sky blue?
ROY GLAUBER, 2005 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER; HARVARD UNIVERSITY
7. What causes a rainbow?
KIM KASTENS, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
8. What is it that makes diseases caused by viruses and bacteria hard to treat?
HELLE GAWRYLEWSKI, JOHNSON & JOHNSON (AND THE AUTHOR'S MOTHER)
9. How old are the oldest fossils on earth?
PAUL NURSE, 2001 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER; ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE
10. Why do we put salt on sidewalks when it snows?
ARTHUR KNUDSEN, BRIDGETON, N.J., SCHOOLS
Extra credit: What makes the seasons change?
If this quiz wasn't as easy as you thought it would be, you're not alone. According to a recent National Science Board survey, 90 percent of Americans are interested in science, but only 15 percent consider themselves well-informed. In high schools, only 60 percent of students complete a general biology class, while only 40 percent complete a general chemistry class and a scant 27 percent complete a physics class, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Even if you did learn basic science in school, these questions might be tough to answer, according to O. Roger Anderson, professor of science education at Teachers College at Columbia University.
"People are so deeply involved in their family lives and professions," Anderson said. "How are they supposed to remember this stuff?"
Answers:
1. About 71 percent of the earth's surface is covered by water.
2. The single cells in the brain communicate through electrical and chemical signals.
3. No. Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago. Modern humans did not appear until around 200,000 years ago.
4. Darwin's theory of species origination says that natural selection chooses organisms that possess variable and heritable traits and that are best suited for their environments.
5. A year, 365 days, is the time it takes for the earth to travel around the sun. A day, 24 hours, is the time it takes for the earth to spin around once on its axis.
6. Solar radiation sunlight is scattered across the atmosphere by a process called diffused sky radiation. The sky is blue because much more short-wave radiation -- blue light -- is scattered across the sky than long-wave radiation -- red light.
7. Rainbows can be seen when there are water droplets in the air and the sun is shining. Sunlight, which contains all colors, is refracted, or bent, off the droplets at different angles, splitting into its different colors of red, yellow, blue, etc.
8. Influenza viruses and others continually change over time, usually by mutation. This change enables the virus to evade the immune system of its host so that people are susceptible to influenza virus infection throughout their lives. Bacteria mutate in the same way and can also become resistant if overtreated with antibiotics.
9. About 3.8 billion years; they're bacteria-like organisms.
10. Adding salt to snow or ice increases the number of molecules on the ground surface and makes it harder for the water to freeze. Salt can lower freezing temperatures on sidewalks to 15 degrees from 32 degrees.
Extra credit: Seasons occur because the earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. At certain times of year the top half of the earth leans to the sun and therefore gets more sun and has summer. When that same half of the earth leans away from the sun it gets less light and has winter.

Great Web 2.0 Shite!
Some fun web 2.0 stuff - found it all no this site
Web Awards
My pics on the net - you can get your own zoto account and get 2 free gigs of space!
Oh, and if you're trying to send big files, up to 1 gig at a time through email, use you sent it!
OK, that's a taste of the fun for now - have to check out of Fredericton, NB tomorrow, where I've been for the last two weeks...woohoo! Arlo and company have been fabulous.

My top 10 from Tanzania
10) Don't get into cars with strangers - and if you do, don't accept a joint. And if you decide to hold the joint, police will materialize and demand money. For further clarification, please contact Guy Leblanc ;-)
9) If you buy something, and the person is smiling and happy, you've paid way, way too much. If they are disgusted with you and curse your name, you've only overpaid slightly
8) Theft, robbery, and rafting down the Nile will likely not kill you. If you really want to live dangerously, sit/stand in the back of an open bed truck going down a dirt road at 80 km an hour on the side of a mountain. Or better yet, to just get seriously maimed, ride a "boda boda", a scooter/motorcycle zipping in between traffic while only wearing shorts, tshirt, and no helmet.
7) Elections in Canada are a dull, lesser of two evils while trying to get at least a decent part of the population out to vote kind of affairs. Elections in Uganda are a wild rally, flash the wrong symbol and you get beat up kind of affair (which is difficult when one party has the thumbs up for their symbol and the other party has the peace sign).
6) Always bring enough medications (anti-malarial, HIV prophylaxis, anti-diarrheal) for everyone travelling together - especially the anti-diarrheals...
5) when dancing at home, people touch each other because they're attracted to one another. When dancing in Uganda, people touch each other looking for money.
4) Buy good toilet paper, and bring it with you everywhere (back to the diarrhea...)
3) When you write home asking what people would like, expect funny/sarcastic/offensive remarks. For example - "Something made from the last individual of a species, or the last breeding pair of a species."
2) When all else fails, invent your own games. Our best one yet - water bottle bowling, in our room. Seven sets, confused neighbours, photo finish tie - priceless.
1) Tanzanian "Tout" Logic - the people who try to sell you stuff.
Seeing me walking down the street, this may be what's going through their heads:
Asian = Japanese
Japanese = Konichiwa
Konichiwa = Kung Fu
Kung Fu = Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee
Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee - Kung Fu Demonstration
Therefore, their best chance of selling something would be to put down their, things, start a kung fu demonstration in the street and ask
"Konichiwa Jackie Chan, want to buy a Jambo Jambo CD?"
9) If you buy something, and the person is smiling and happy, you've paid way, way too much. If they are disgusted with you and curse your name, you've only overpaid slightly
