choppy chopsticks!
hi wonderful and faithful blog readers.. it has been days since i last blog haha been kinda busy with my work.. geesh i cfm cannot finish by prelims. sigh.
alright so i was tuning in to power98 while doing my homework and the DJ was talkin about using chopstick and trivials about it. i think its interesting so im gonna share it.. haha

so
tRiVIALS of chopsticks

36% of the world population uses chopsticks.

and i dont think you'll believe it but some scientists have came up with the MATHEMATICAL formula to calculate the comfort level of using chopstick!!!



cool isnt it? now, you'll definitely ask what are those symbols representing?
well its as follows
C = comfort factor

C0 = 30 (incorporates unknown information i.e: length of chopsticks and angle of chopsticks)

N = number of Chinese meals eaten with chopsticks

n = (the Greek letter 'eta') texture parameter including shape, softness and crumbliness (a piece of meat is easy to pick up and has a texture parameter close to 1, a grain of rice is not so easy and would have a tiny value of 0.05)

a = (the Greek letter 'alpha') slipperiness of food (the stickier it is the closer the value to 1)

d = diameter of food (cm)

m = mass of food (grams) t = plate to mouth transit time (seconds)

geesh arent you glad that this is not in you syllabus? haha and some jap phrases you can use when...

somone is stuffing food in already filled mouth with chopstick
shout: " gomibashi!!!! "

someone is licking the ends of the chopstick
yell: " niburibashi!!!! "

someone is waving the chopsticks indecisively over the food
bark " miyoiibashi!!!! "

haha cool isnt it? and the last fact of the day: what is the phobia for chopsticks?!
ITS----- consecotaleophobia

hehe so thats something new today!!!! haha.
