I'm currently writing a piece on the seperation of church and state here in Iceland and I wanted to find some good quote to end the article with and I found this quote by Martin Luther King
On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.


Powerful words, but this speech is possibly of the most moving texts I have read

I must admit that the advances that are being made in science today are mindboggling. Making cancer drugs via chickens that's not what you hear about every day ;)

I just looked outside and then thought really hard about today's date. Why would think of the date as I look outside ?

Because it's the 24th of April and everything is white because of the snow !

When your 15yo daughter gives precipitous delivery to a bleating, underweight infant 30 minutes after presenting to triage c "gas pains", you should run around the department loudly yelling, "I don't know what y'all did or who that baby is, but my lil' girl warn't pregnant when she come in here"

Sá þennan brandara á þeirri annars hræðilegu síðu málefnin.com og á hann að hafa gengið á Ítalíu síðustu daga.

Tveir Ítalir hittast. Annar segir: Við Ítalir erum stórkostleg þjóð! Við erum greind, heiðarleg og trú Berlusconi! Já, segir hinn, en því miður er það svo, að þeir sem eru greindir og styðja Berlusconi eru ekki heiðarlegir, þeir sem eru heiðarlegir og styðja Berlusconi eru ekki greindir, og þeir sem eru greindir og heiðarlegir styðja ekki Berlusconi

I've been up all night trying to debug my Matlab code for my research project. Not finding the bug, is very frustrating and I have school today from 9-18. Though the bug is an interesting case of compound error as the values don't start to diverge wildly until the 3rd og 4th iteration.

In short I worked on it until my brain simply shutdown. But now it's time for homework due in two hours, so sleep is kinda not an option.

for people interested in compound errors )
