School House Rock – The Preamble

During the 1970’s when this cartoon was aired for the first time to the American people; the American society was a good society that put America first. We taught our children what it is to be an American.

Today that no longer is a priority; unlimited immigration without assimilation and anti-American Communists that refuse to follow the U.S. Constitution are destroying what was once a great Nation. And what do we do? Nothing.

We are no longer a Nation, we have become a Country filled with aliens from every third world country from across the globe. I don’t believe America will survive as the Nation our founding fathers left us; “One Nation under God indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All” , unless we as a “people” WAKE UP!!!

 

How Many Ways Can You Arrange A Deck Of Cards?

How many ways can you arrange a deck of cards? Yannay Khaikin explains the mind-boggling math.

Enjoy!

One deck. Fifty-two cards. How many arrangements? Let’s put it this way: Any time you pick up a well shuffled deck, you are almost certainly holding an arrangement of cards that has never before existed and might not exist again. Yannay Khaikin explains how factorials allow us to pinpoint the exact (very large) number of permutations in a standard deck of cards.

 

Joke Of The Day: Lipstick Lesson

Rubber Chicken According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.

That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers, and then there are educators…

How to make gunpowder and what you need.


How To Make Gunpowder

Gunpowder, also called black powder, is a simple mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. The trickiest part of making black powder is sourcing these three supplies. Once you find them, you mix them together and create an explosive black meal. Be extremely cautious when handling black powder, and make sure to store it away from heat and flame.

Get your hands on some saltpeter. Saltpeter is the common name for potassium nitrate. In the days when black powder was widely used, saltpeter was manufactured from bat guano or made from horse urine and other “manurial soils.”[1] It’s used in many fertilizers, as part of science projects, and in certain recipes. You have several options for sourcing saltpeter:

  • Look for “stump remover” in garden stores. Saltpeter is often sold under this name. You may also find it labeled as saltpeter, niter, or potassium nitrate.
  • Buy it online. If you do a search for saltpeter, you’ll get plenty of results, and you can easily have a bottle delivered to you.
  • Make it yourself out of a cold pack. Cold packs you can buy for a few dollars to help with sore muscles contain sodium nitrate and water, and can be used to make saltpeter.
  • Make it with urine. This is definitely the most difficult way to source saltpeter, but some black powder enthusiasts prefer to make their powder entirely from scratch. To do so, one process is to fill a drum with manure affixed with a drain, valve, and filter at the bottom. Urinate into it, then top it off with water. After about 10 months, dry it out on trays.
