tool's sober

Call Me

Here is a pretty version of Tool's Sober done with a String Quartet,
playing with the original music video on youtube
I love the start of it, very moody and dark, the lil old man figurine
is creepy, anyone help figure out the metaphor of this video?

the lead singer of this band is Maynard James Keenan.
And I thought I had problems with my name.

I've always loved this scene from Kill Bill vol. 2, it made me cry even once,
because her character is so hated, and beaten and treated like complete dirt
for no good reason, and she wakes up from this coma to discover her baby taken out of her womb and gone
and she recieves info that she cant have anymore, and of course her husband (or boyfriend)
is dead and she feels such loss, even with all that, and being buried alive she still finds
the strength within herself, to love her self and complete her goal, eah it's revenge but
thats not always a bad thing, so she digs her self out and of it all, rises from nothing and theres
something about that I relate to myself and real people in our lives, and it really touches me.
Thats what a true hero is.

thank you QnU!

We don't love her for her acting ability, though she's not horrible.

Supercritical Fluids

I just read a Discover Magazine article in which they talked about a very interesting discovery: supercritical fluids. This state of matter has been theorized, but in August, the first known instance of it was observed and measured in a hydrothermal vent deep in the ocean.

In general, as heat increases, matter is more likely to be a gas. As pressure increases, it is more likely to be a fluid, and then a solid. In this instance, with the pressure of an ocean depth of nearly 10,000 feet, the magma-heated water, at 876 degrees F, acts as both a gas and a liquid.

I believe that when I die...
