Encyclopaedia

I find this piece of news funny, cause earlier before, I found that the birth year of William Primrose in Britannica is wrong also. It should be 1904 instead of 1903.
We cannot trust encyclopaedia? Schoolboy spots errors in Encyclopaedia Britannica Press Association Wednesday January 26, 2005 One of the most revered reference books in the world has admitted to containing several significant errors - after they were spotted by a 12-year-old boy. Lucian George trawled through the 32 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and found inaccuracies in the entries on Poland and the wildlife of eastern Europe. The first mistake was a reference to the small town of Chochim - which the encyclopaedia placed in Moldova, according to newspaper reports. Lucian, a pupil at the independent Highgate junior school in north London, said this was "wrong". "Chochim is in Ukraine." He also found that the encyclopaedia had wrongly stated that the European bison can only be found in the Bialowieza forest in Poland. Lucian told the Times: "The European bison also inhabits the southern mountains of Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, eastern Slovakia and the Romanian Carpathians." The youngster acquired his knowledge because his mother is Polish and he has always been fascinated by the history of the country. He spends a month every year on a farm in Yamy, south west Poland. Lucian's father Gabriel, said he was just a "normal kid". He told the Daily Mail: "He is intelligent and is surrounded by other intelligent children but he enjoys his Simpsons on TV just like anyone else." Anita Wolff, the senior editor of the 15th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, thanked Lucian for pointing out "several errors and misleading statements". The section on Poland is now being rewritten. Lucian said that despite the mistakes, he still thought the encyclopaedia was the best reference book he knew. |

Titanium screws
|
||
Daniel added several titanium screws in his right shoulder joint to enhance his accuracy in bowling. Since it will take him some time for his right arm to recover from surgery, he used his left hand to bowl today.
I managed to win by a small margin. :P |

Translation

It turns out that the majority of my readers are Japanese.
I added a lousy translation to my log, you just need to click on the flags on the right column. Some translations are funny to read. |

Typewriter

I was once the chairman of my university's Chinese Orchestra.
Tonight, I found an interesting Chinese musical instrument which I have never seen before. Well, chairman means nothing more than a chairman. ![]() Looks like he is typing something. |

Successor
|
||
Daniel once taught me a way to bowl which I found very practical. It is to throw the bowl halfway instead of travelling all the way on the lane. It improves the accuracy a lot.
However, everyone will laugh at you if you play that way and your arm will feel painful afterwards. Edmund is my successor, haha. ![]() |
