Three things...

[starrylizard]

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE (_wwsd_) for yesterday!!! Hope it was grand!

Secondly, there is sentence that should be banned from all scientific talks...

"As everyone well knows [insert some random scientific fact here]"

If everyone knew it, you wouldn't be talking about it now would you? Whay make us all feel silly for not knowing the most basic concept of an area you have been researching in minute detail for most of your scientific career? *shakes head* Silly sentence. In this morning's talk, the girl said it at least five times. Yes, I'm sure everyone knows all about it. [/sarcasm]

Thirdly, newkidfan has kindly posted high res caps of Heroes 1x1 over at her icon journal blimey_icons. Find them here. I am already addicted to this show. The first episode drew me in, the second cemented it and I am awaiting the third happily. Yay, a new television love. Like I need any more. :)

Oh, yes, the everyone well knows is a very annoying statement.

Yet people keep using it. Hmmm.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a very nice day!

And yes, I completely agree about the use of the sentence. As everyone knows, people who use sentences like that are bloody annoying! :D I work with a lot of engineers and mathematicians, and that sentence is used quite freqently. I often have no idea about the thing that "everyone knows"

That's great!

That sentence irks me. I always feel like asking them to explain in the question time... :P
