Now here's an ingenious way to cause an engine flameout

So why am I blogging so much these few days? Maybe it's because I'm going back to dear ol' Unimas tomorrow and won't be online much then. Anyways, here's somethin interesting (with a capital I...haha!) I saw in today's the Star. The article can also be found here: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/2/4/nation/13297021&sec=nation

The same paper also carried an article on whether roti canai and teh tarik will be taken to space by our astronaut after a Mardi study revealed that the items were unsuitable for micro gravity conditions.

According to the study, it was impossible to prepare the teh tarik traditionally since there was no gravity, while the crisp roti canai could easily disintegrate and fragments could get into the vents of the aircraft and cause damage.

The institute, however, was determined to find a solution to make the items compatible with space conditions.

Italian astronauts took pizza to space while a Japanese astronaut got to enjoy Japan's favourite food, a soup noodle called ramen.

Bravo! It took an entire research agency to conclude that you can't make teh tarik the traditional manner in zero gravity! Shouldn't we Malaysians be so proud of ourselves?
