This blog, simply put, is pretty much whatever I'm thinking about at the time. It could be useful, it could be pointless, it could be ranting or it just might be funny.

Hokey-Cokey-ism

I am now the proud founder of a religious sect called Hokey-Cokey-ism based on the well-known children's song. I believe that, hidden in the lyrics and accompanying actions, deep truths about the way we live our lives can be found. The words are as follows:

You put your left leg in
Your left leg out
In, out, in, out,
you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around
That's what it's all about.

Whoa, the hokey cokey!,
Whoa, the hokey cokey!,
Whoa, the hokey cokey!,
Knees bent, arms stretched, rah! rah! rah!

What should be borne in mind is that these are the English lyrics. The American lyrics are lies spread by false prophets.

What meaning you derive from the song is up to you - I don't wish to indoctrinate anyone. However, I think the answer to all life's problems can be found within these seemingly innocuous lyrics.

Rodent Scale

I propose a new measurent of height based on the number and type of rodents that can fit within that height when piled on top of each other. For example:
  • mouse = 3cm
  • rat = 8cm
  • rat + mouse = 11cm
  • rabbit = 13cm
  • rabbit + 2 mice = 19cm
  • capybara = 50cm
  • ...
You get the idea. If you add enough different rodents to the list, eventually it should be able to cover all the intermediate heights.

Small adjustments could be allowed for by adding 'tall' or 'short' e.g. a tall mouse would be 3.5cm and a short rat + a short mouse = 10cm

N.B. Some of these figures have been worked out working out the length ratio to the mouse and then multiplying this by the height of the mouse because I could not find their height but only their length. If any of you happen to have a rodent to hand, please leave a comment with its height so I can add it to the list.
