How high would you have to drop a frozen turkey so that it is cooked when it lands?
First, some assumptions.
- The turkey is made of water and starts off as ice at 32 degrees F.
- The turkey is a sphere with a radius of 15 cm. (or generically, I will call it r)
- When the turkey falls through the atmosphere, half of the energy dissipated goes into the turkey and half goes into the atmosphere.
- I am going to ignore the increase in thermal energy when the turkey hits the ground. Just because.
- A turkey is ready if it is at 180 degrees F

Dave Schwartz, Director of the Center for Gaming Research, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, theorizes that “casino carpet is known as an exercise in deliberate bad taste that somehow encourages people to gamble.” - Wired News
I had never considered a psychology to carpet patterns in casinos, but there may be something to this.
Check out Chris Maluszynski’s Las Vegas carpet collection and see what you think.

I understand why this episode was produced. It’s half origin story and half mythological brain dump. And there were some interesting bits, no doubt there. But let me sum my opinion up this way: If “Lost” had focused on Jacob, MIB and their wacky “Mother” from the very beginning, I never would have watched this show. I just don’t care about these characters and their deep psychological scars. For six years we’ve watched a fantastic ensemble of great actors playing great characters battling with their own Big Problems. The Jacob-MIB-Mother trio felt like window dressing. And is it just me, or was the acting a little meh?That said, I’ll give the writers credit for revealing Jacob to be the island’s Norman Bates. Discovering that for many years he was a naive and gullible pawn in his crazy adopted mother’s machinations … well, that just wasn’t expected.

…A whale was sighted, the harpoon boats were launched, and the whale was successfully speared. In the violence that followed, however, one of the smaller boats capsized, throwing two crew members into the sea. One of them drowned and the other, said to be a man named James Bartley, disappeared.
The whale was eventually subdued and its carcass hoisted onto the ship where the crew started carving it up for blubber. After a couple of days of work, they got down to the stomach, where some workers noticed something large inside, ‘doubled up’, and showing signs of life.They cut the stomach open and there lay James Bartley, unconscious and somewhat digested, but alive. They doused him with sea water, put him in the captain’s cabin and after a couple of weeks of recovery, he was back on the job.
