Caipirinha’s Algorithm

Posted in jokes, operations research by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Jan 22, 2007

"Hotter vs Cooler" & "Sweeter vs Bitter": the algorithm for contradictory situations.

1. Slice half a lime in 2 or 4 pieces.

2. Put one tablespoon of sugar in a glass.

3. Add the sliced lime and squeeze with a pestle.

4. Add crushed ice to the rim.

5. Add cachaça and stir it.

5.1. Use vodka instead and you’ll have a Caipiroska.

5.2. Use white rum instead and you’ll have a Caipirisima.

6. Drink with moderation.

7. Repeat the process if still thirsty.

PS Caipirinha is Brazilian national drink and as I read recently reflects the extremes. On one hand you have the coolness of the ice against the heat of the spirit (cachaça); on the other one, the sweetness of the sugar versus the bitterness of the lime.

Better addicted to Caffeine than…

Check this out: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/ .

In that site you can find dozens of products made with caffeine. In this example you could think this is just for "weirdos" (geeks!, right!) but who has never been evolved with a caffeine addiction problem?. Liers!!!.
We think caffeine increases our superpowers, that transforms us in super working machines. I’m not a specialist but I think the "become-da-supa-worker" isn’t right at all.

However, forever and ever, better addicted to Caffeine than… .

Suit yourself!.
