The quest to answer life's random questions

What is a Learning Escapade?

Answer: a record of interesting facts, stories and "wow! I never knew that!" moments all wrapped up in one blog. As random questions pop up in life, I do my best to find answers and record them here.

Gandhi once said, "Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

This quote examplifies this learning blog. Rather than learn little facts and then promptly forget them, this blog attempts to capture those answers and explanations and store them for all to see.

Have you ever wondered how an airplane flies? Why Indian woman have dots on their foreheads or who the richest people in the world are? Questions like these have always interested me. Now with the help of wikipedia and other web resources, it is as easy as ever to find answers to those questions.

Each entry on this blog is a mini-escapade--an adventure that makes the world more fascinating and better understood at the same time.

If you have a question that needs answering or have an extrodinariy explination please let me know.

Gesticulate

Gesticulate
DFN: To motion or use hands to communicate while talking or instead of talking.

Examples:
1. While scuba diving, Amy gesticulated wildly, pointing out that a shark was approaching.
2. John would often rise from his chair to pace the room and gesticulate as he talked.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
