If you use a Mac, and find yourself using some Java based Chat Applet, you will notice you can’t write Hebrew. The keyboard input refuses to even switch to Hebrew.

I googled for a solution, and found none. In the end, I found the solution myself. Here’s what you need to do, to get it working:

1. In spotlight, search for “Java Preferences”, and click to run this utility.
2. You will see a list of JVM versions: 1.6.0, 1.5.0, and 1.4.2. Simply switch to 1.4.2 and click “Save”
3. You are done! Remember to completely close your browser, before you try again.

I know, you want to give me a hug now, don’t you?

Nonsense warning: I’m in a good mood, so I decided to write a completely silly entry in my blog. I did not try the method mentioned below, so try at your own risk!

There have been lots of debates on penis size. Some say size matters, some say it’s how you use it, etc. The “size” however is not always very well defined. Are they talking about Length, or Girth? Lots of articles (mostly written by Women) talk about how the length doesn’t matter, and it’s really all about the girth, and yet some other women will tell you the length AND the girth matter.

I say, the only right way to measure your Penis is not by length or girth - It is about absolute atomic mass!

That’s right boys and girls. And how do you measure this? Fear not, for I’ve devised a sure method for you Math challenged people, that will also make you look like a “Real Man” while measuring your mass (because Beer is involved). You will need a large empty pot, a glass of beer filled to the top, and a cooking scale to weigh the fluid.

The Beer Displacement Method (Thank you Leah for the name!):

• Step 1: Zero the scale by placing the empty pot on the scale, and turning the scale on. The display should show “0 grams”.
• Step 1: Take a pint of Guinness beer, and place it inside the pot.
• Step 2: Look at a photo of Scarlett Johansson to obtain an errection.
• Step 3: Stick your member into the glass, the beer will spill from the glass and into the pot.
• Step 4: Remove the glass from the pot, and weigh the liquid content.
• Step 5: You are done! This is the mass of your penis!

So from now on, when you brag to your friends about how large you are, remember: what really matters is your mass!

And another thing: If you are crazy enough to actually try this I will be happy to get comments below about your measurements!

Matter: Love, Music & Gifted Musicians, Art & Creativity, Happy moments, Intimacy, Hugs & Kisses, Rest & Relaxation, Time for yourself, Books & Literature, Socializing, Fun in nature, Taking pictures, etc.

Don’t matter: Politics, War, Money, Violence, Religion, Social Pressures, People with hidden agendas!

You people should think hard about the lists above, and organize your priorities right… It is crucial for your happiness!

We seem to be heading towards a period of time where the planet is going to get cooler and cooler to the point where we may face longer winters, and harsher weather.

The logic here is simple: I see two energy consumption models:

1. Internal energy - fossil fuels, gas, wind, etc. these are all elements that exist within our planet.
2. External energy - sun and other types of radiation, the earth gets infinite amounts of those.

We are still consuming #1 and will be doing so for a while however the trend is clear - the planet is going to move to solar power. Solar panels will provide electricity to convert water to hydrogen, or heat water.

When we move completely to #2 we will be using energy generation techniques that do not generate heat - on the contrary, they take heat and convert it to energy or in the case of air conditioning, convert it to lower temperatures.

30 to 50 years later, the pollution will finally settle into the dirt, giving us pristine air quality of the likes you can breath on the alps. The lack of pollution and other greenhouse gases will lead to increased heat loss through the atmosphere, and to colder weather. This will no doubt be a slow and gradual process, but this is where I see things going.Comments please? :-)  

I don’t understand why many scientists say that the distance of our planet from the sun was important in order to sustain life on this planet. While I agree that the distance is important, and that too close would be too hot, and too far would be too cold - we are definitely within a “sane” distance. However, I hardly think we are in the best position possible!

The reason i’m saying this is the Warm/Cold cycle currently in existance on our planet. Every X thousands of years the planet gets too cold. It gets covered by ice, and a new ice age is inflicted on the planet. Then X thousands of years later, it gets too warm. The ice melts, water levels rise, certain islands “disappear” under the water, and people suddenly get all worked up about global warming, not knowing that whatever human beings do is not yet significant enough to affect the planet on a global scale.

It figures that with a certain amount of water on our planet, the distance from the sun greatly affects what happens with this water. Our atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, and the cycle is inevitable. The way I see it, we are a little bit closer than we should have been ideally. A bit farther from the sun, and the cycle would stop. We would then have a more or less constant weather condition all around the planet. I’m not talking about summer/winter, but rather about the warm/cold cycle. We would not have an ice age, and we would not have thousands of years of desert and famine.
