极端

我在化学楼考数学,在数学楼考化学。
我应该会挂掉数学,但会考满分化学。
这是什么世道。

刻板印象

又去上别人的生物课。今天上非整倍体(Aneuploidy)。教授说有人怀疑有些名模是X-三体(Trisomy X),因为她们长得很高……

X-三体症状包括高大身材、学习困难、生育困难。

海上一夜

收帆
风刮疼
浪起浪落
何处为南北
浪落浪起
卫星仪
失联

失策
舱门关
船起船落
手壁橱紧抓
船落船起
日记砸
纸散

很痛
咬牙忍
头昏头晕
盼还能醒来
头晕头昏
宝藏还
没影

05.02.10
我又迷航了。

这世上有两种掠食者……

昨天上生物课,教授说到这世上有两种掠食者:一种大家都知道,是肉食动物;另一种,没有人猜得到。他说,那是世界上最可恶,欺侮弱小,专挑软柿子捏的——草食动物,因为植物不会跑不会躲。所以,其实他也不太喜欢素食者……毕竟,他的本职是植物学家。之前他也说过,在新闻上听到某某地方有森林大火或是炸弹引爆,谈到“没有任何伤亡”的时候,他都很生气,因为都死了大大小小不少的植物,生态中最重要的生产者(producer),还说没有伤亡?!

这(应该)是真理

今天化学节说到了熵(entropy)。他说到一般上万物都是从有序的变成无序,就像我们的房间一样。就算打扫得再整洁,过几天也是会一团糟。这种趋势只是因为概率(statistical),因为只有少量的方法可以把东西排整齐,却有无数的方式将东西乱放。这么说来,房间很乱才是常态,整齐的房间反而是异类,所与需要能量(精力)去维持。
