It's good to read
Posted: Saturday, November 28, 2009 by GGdTJJ inWell, one big problem remains in heart unresolved. It's like the heart hanging a pendulum of rock swinging here and there, but it doesn't affect my daily life in doing stuff I like.
Being a rather filial son, I spend my weekends at home most of the time, spending time with them while at the same time, doing things I like. Basically, just surfing nets, watching drama/anime lo..
Hardly go out la.. and get the name 'zhai nan' la...
Well, I am happy with that, so what..
And today's surfing basically starts off with visiting anime site to surf, and unintentionally I read about the comments posted by some of the posters claiming that the animation of that particular anime has gone down by a lot. One of them revealed an article in Wall Street Journal showing that the anime industry in Japan has gone weak, mainly facing competitions from the studios from South Korea and China. The animators area also lowly paid and have to work in long dreaded hours.
And in the WSJ page, I picked out the next article from Editor's Pick, which happens to be related to the Palm Island/City developed by the Nakheel. (from Wikipedia), and this Nakheel is also developing a tall skyscraper where the construction has halted. Okay, this skyscraper is not Burj Dubai which is the tallest building now. Well, maybe not now, as only the exteriors have completed but they should start operate in early next year already.
Then I go through a list of the tall buildings in Wikipedia, looking through them and got to know some facts, like the tallest building in Australia has people constantly residing, but the tallest in Southern Hemisphere located in NZ (well, if only we Malaysia is in the Southern Hemisphere where we would top that). Then, I also look through the collapsed World Trade Center, and read up the article about the 11 Sept Attack, which eventually leads me to finding the secret of the death of Osama bin Laden.
Studies have showed that Osama has possibly been dead, and possibly, unrelated to the attack. Few days after the attack, Osama had been denying in orchestrating the tragedy but in one day, he suddenly took the responsibility of the well-planned attack. Some of the experts argued that the video of Osama's confession is a fake, and is used by the US and UK to gain the heart of people from the Middle East in going against the terrorism. Sensitively, the video was aired when US and UK all failed to find a trace of Osama and his group being guilty for the attack.
More detailed studies revealed that in several other videos, Osama looked differently and hence, they made the assumption that Osama had already died. The 'facts' provided by the authorities with Osama being alive is just to make people keep on supporting them to fight against terrorism. But who knows if it's related to the enormous oil reserve in the Middle East.
Hospital in somewhere in Middle East has evidence that Osama has kidney disease and requires treatment once in a while, thus eliminating the possibility could be that mobile in the mountains in Middle East. Even if mobile equipment for treatment do exist, and Osama did order for one, a medical team should be present for the treatment to go on, which is probably unreachable for someone running away from the spotlights by the intelligent military from some of the strongest nation in the world.
Well, so, is Osama still alive? The article claimed no, and estimated him to be dead just few months after the attack due to kidney failure. So, which is correct?
And I only found out I got carried away from the skyscrapers' topic and has yet to read the Wiki page of Taipei 101 and decide the give it a good read. Some of the interesting finding includes a mass pendulum at some of the taller part of the building to account for the shear caused by the strong wind. And oh, the Structural Vibration things start coming into my mind~~ and I just decide to give it a stop to my read.
BTW, about Osama, he is said to have a Civil degree and has experience being a contractor. But in one of his videos, he claimed that he was surprised that the whole building collapsed as he only speculated that the plane crash would only cause explosion that would melt the iron that cause the upper part to collapse only. Here's the mistakes he made in this claim. First, it is very likely that he would know WTC uses Steel instead of Iron. Second, he would also know that the explosion from the jet fuel will not be enough to melt off either steel or iron. So, it is likely that that particular video can be a fake.
Well, wait wait wait..
I thought I just want to download an anime!
See? It's good to read, as my title suggests!
And whoever reads my blog, will gain some knowledge today, don't you?
Just for those who are interested, the full article about Obama's Death is here.
