Principle of the Kettle
Have you ever tried boiling water in a kettle? While you're looking at it... it never boils! Honestly! But once you look away, and pshhhh... there we go.
This principle is so surprisingly widespread in "real life" that it almost gives me headaches.
We're ruled by entropy, Murphy's law, and these ridiculous principles and paradoxes. That's the raw truth. And I thought science was the honest truth and could explain life... yeah, bollocks.

The '5 Minutes' Paradox
I recently witnessed something rather interesting and funny I hadn't given much thought before.
Let's imagine there's a closed shop, and there's a sign on the door - "I'll open in 5 minutes". There's a small queue in front of the store, waiting for it to open. Five, even ten minutes have already passed, but it's still closed. The crowd complains, murmurs, and they finally give up after another ten minutes.

Aaaaaaanyways. Now I'm a psychotic murderer. Finally my dark side can be seen. And guess what's Dan
I Aten't Dead
So I decided to get my IUD removed (which, believe me, is a ridiculously easy procedure), and somehow the moronic doctor cut me inside the uterus.
And almost drained me out of blood.
Which is why I had to spend a few days in the Krankenhaus (hospital), then lie in bed at home like a pile of meat for some more days, and then limit my physical activity for two more weeks.
Oh, and forget about doing anything couples in love usually do in bed. Le absurde. Also, God help me if I get pregnant in the next few months.
Meanwhile, Dan's parents paid us a visit, and tried hard to convince me what a sinner I am and how I'm going to ruin their son's l

I'm going to skip the 10 facts bit about myself. Because I've already done that about 9 times, and I can't squeeze out another 10 to hit 100, unfortunately...
But I will answer the questions. ^^
