$$一百萬$$ (3)

Big Brother現在可以話係最新儭`目形式. 美國最近有報導指出, 下一個以Big Brother為藍本儭`目快將推出. 十個人將會被送到俄羅斯受訓. 每星期觀眾選一個人被踢走. 不過剩下鴾@個並唔係羸獎金, 而係可以離開地球, 去Mir太空站!

講到Big Brother翵虓, 除覾ruman Show之外, 另一個係一本叫Lord Of The Flies鴾p說. 內容係講一班十幾歲鼤虒籉]為沉船而去到一個荒島生活, 而最後大家互相殘殺. 蠛ig Brother之前, 有電視台送十多人去荒島到住幾個月, 拍攝佢]鴷肮.

本來我係想做個英文post先, 但係我稄誧運ig Brother, 覺得點都要做個關於Big Brother鮥ost. 點解? 因為今日鷇‵峔鴝珛o生翵ぁi以話係由節目開始以來最激, 激到Big Brother網頁據聞要暫時停止網上廿四小時播放, 激到其他電視台儱s聞節目都要花幾分鐘去報導. 當然第二日鼣灝一定會提此事.

話說屋內有位叫Nick鴾H, 佢由第一日開始就嘗試控制其他人, 令佢]選Nick自己想踢走鴾H. 而同時又向自已想踢鴾H扮關心. 一直以來, 雖然觀眾都知佢灠I, 但係屋內齯H完全唔發覺, 而且外界係無機會接近屋內鴾H, 所以Nick成為屋內鵀n好先生, 從來無人選佢走.

但近幾日, 有人開始懷疑Nick鵀甈, 麙萯\]M到Nick自己認為應該被踢走鵀W單, 而且有幾個板本. 當佢]發現Nick同唔同鴾H所講炡ㄜ囍P, 而且利用佢], 屋內全部人決定同Nick講數...

電視只係播鼲搹h, 至於期間有無發生其他事,真條無人知. 或者咁樣係電視台想觀眾估齯H會做乜. 其實Big Brother熱潮已經開始減退, 因為近一個星期屋咁都無乜大事發生...老實講如果Nick真係被踢走儭, 成個節目會變得好悶!!

如果你係Nick, 你會點做?

發現(大量)假銀紙!

1.每年因為製造大富翁而印道具銀紙嚗ぁ, 係多過全世界政府印真銀紙......

2.所有蝙蝠飛出洞口後, 都會向左轉.

3.水母, 正如其名, 真係好多水 (佔體重95%).

4.全世界最多人有鴭m係陳.

5.意大利粉齔o源地係中國.

6.一個正常人一生食六萬磅重麰鼓.

7.十個睇此頁翵k性, 八個靚仔, 九個唔知我將幅仲間由紀惠比堅尼相收埋鬙h邊.

8.假如你手上有張自已屋企鵀a圖, 你可以鬖a圖上指出一點,(而且唔多過一點) 而劘I黚u實位置同地圖上鵀鼽m係完全相同.

9.只要你係鬖a圖所顯示嚚d圍內, 你都可以做8.

10.8同9都可以用數學推論出來.

三級制? (3)

講到血淋淋, 又點可以唔提"睇你點死"此"紀錄片". 正如其名, 成套片大部份時間都係睇齯H點死, 如吞槍自殺, 被野獸咬死..但係片來全部都係真人真事, 每一個片段差唔多都係一個人生前最後鴾@刻. 我自已覺得無必要同無膽去睇, 但係我知道有唔少人睇過. 有齯H話一個鏡頭比一個鏡頭恐佈, 又有齯H話佢]一瓥ㄜ躠.

齯H點解會睇此片? 係唔係因為覺得此片有"警惕"作用, 如"唔好行埋去獅子堆"? 定係為鰹T樂?

為鰹T樂, 點解唔睇周星馳? 係唔係因為唔夠刺激? 係唔係因為唔夠暴力, 血腥?

想要暴力, 血腥, 點解唔睇李小龍? 又或者走去街市睇人蚋?

定係因為齯H知道, 螢幕內鴾H真係死?

Russell's paradox

What is a set? Without getting into mathematical jargons, a set is basically a collection of "members". All even numbers form a set. So do all the bottles of beer inside your fridge. If there isn't any beer bottles inside the fridge, you call it an empty set. Simple, isn't it?

Now consider this. Can a set be a member of itself? Some sets can, and others cannot. For example, the set of bottles is not a member of itself. That is because the "set of bottles" is a set, not a bottle. On the other hand, the set of non-bottles is a member of itself, since as stated earlier, a set is not a bottle. If you're still not sure, then just accept for now that there are sets which are not members of themselves.

Now comes the paradox... Let's call the set of all sets which are not members of themselves S (There is no reason why you have to call it S, but most people do) . Is S a member of itself? Clearly either it is or it isn't. Suppose S is a member of itself, then by the definition of S it must not be a member of itself. Now suppose S is not a member of itself, then again by the definition of S, it is a member of itself. Weird, isn't it?

In general, we accept that, if we make a wrong assumption and we make logical deductions from that assumption, then we will reach a contradiction. For example, let A=1, B=3 and I claim that A is larger than B. If A is larger than B then A-B must be positive but 1-3=-2. Therefore my claim must be wrong. In the case of S, we already know that S either is a member of itself, or it isn't. However, either way leads to a contradiction. So what's wrong?

There is nothing wrong with the definition of S, since S does exist. What is wrong is the definition of set. The paradox is known as the Russell's paradox and it's pretty famous because it exposed the flaws within the definition of set. So the collection of beer bottles is not a set afterall then? It is still a set, and most of the sets we can think of are still sets. The S in Russell's paradox just happens to be a special case.
