I feel guilty for dulling your minds with drivel, so I decided it was time to educate the masses. Today's topic is to do with physics (for all you physicians out there); the "centrifugal force". To bring the curriculum to life, I decided to make a short video of an experiment. For those who doubt my hypothesis, methodology and results, I'll have you know I got a "B" in GCSE physics so I'm more than qualified. Enjoy.
*As I re-watched the video, I realised the answer is in fact YES, the water WILL fall out. Many apologies for the slight hiccup. Also, to anyone who doesn't understand the "Homotopia" malarkey, James Mooney renamed my house that in 5th year (I think) and it's stuck ever since.
Well there you have it, you can't do a front flip with a drink in your hand and expect to drink the contents afterwards. Although as I analysed the video intensely, I think it might be possible as the water usually only falls out because of the bounce and the sudden landing (especially in the last fail). But my feet and back are sore so I'm not going to re-attempt it.
One thing I noticed while creeping through everyone else's blogs for ideas is that ranting is quite popular, so I'm going to give it a go. PENS!! This is something that genuinely does my head in about "Bic ball point" pens.
Every time a freehand a line across the page, for some reason the ink all clumps together on the tip of the pen and the next time I put pen to paper; BLOTCH!!
Honestly, every time this happens part of me dies inside. I'm not even what you would classify as a neat person, and I don't understand how when this happens to you "neat" people, you don't go on a massive killing spree.
I told Emma (although she may not have read the comment, if not, go back and read it so this makes sense) I'd upload this video of the only time I've ever broken a bone. Prepare to be unimpressed.

Well that's all I can think of for today. Those who are already on their summer holiday; I hate you with every bone in my body, but otherwise enjoy the good weather while it lasts and have a wonderful time. Those who, like me, are still revising; keep at it, there's not long to go now and join with me as I pray that it rains so hard that no one can leave the house so that we don't miss any of the summer fun.

Actually, the origins of Homotopia were your doing. I simply suggested that your abode was in homopolis then you instantly and thoughtlessly responded that you in fact lived in homotopia. Sealing your fate for the following 3 years. Also, your pronunciation of certipetla force irritates me. Furthermore, to let you know, centripetal force and centifugal force are compeltely different. So much so that they are infact opposites. Centripetal meanign centre seeking and centrifugal meanign centre fleeing. So it's actually the centrifugal force keeping the water in the cup not the centripetal force. However, Your blogs amuse me and are generally well written. Well done.
U GT SO PWND BY A A* PHYSICIST. LOLOLOLZ BBZ
Sorry James, I just read what someone commented on a physics website, and thanks
Your blogs are very amusing.
Ha, the WV is "thon gate" - so Mourne!
Haha yes I did read your comment - still amazed that your spine is intact! And Bic pens are really bad for blotchiness! They anger me too lol.
