Dirty Limerick’s of the Gods…
There once was an old cock named Chronos,
who wasted his time planting seeds.
And all through the land felt the touch of his hand,
the young maidens he stole in his greed.
The Black Hole
If Satan plays miniature golf, this is his favorite hole. A ball struck at A, in any direction, will never find the hole at B — even if it bounces forever.
The idea arose in the 1950s, when Ernst Straus wondered whether a room lined with mirrors would always be illuminated completely by a single match.
Straus’ question went unanswered until 1995, when George Tokarsky found a 26-sided room with a “dark” spot; two years later D. Castro offered the 24-sided improvement above. If a candle is placed at A, and you’re standing at B, you won’t see its reflection anywhere around you — even though you’re surrounded by mirrors.

Rare phenomenon: Once every 3000 years this flower appears
A recent Telegraph (March 2010) article, Rare Buddhist flower found under nun’s washing machine reported the appearance of the rare “Udumbara” flower, which according to Buddhist scripture blossoms every 3000 years before the coming of the next Buddha or Tathagata (which by the way can also mean the essential Buddha nature found in everyone.)
A nun, Miao Wei, found the cluster of 18 rare white flowers under a washing machine.
Just how far can we go?
