More From Ernest Shackleton

One couldn't even measure roughness. so, by luck, and by reward for persistence, i did found the theory of roughness, which certainly i didn't expect and expecting to found one would have been pure madness.
Persistence Luck Rewards
The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.
Beauty Beautiful Party
It's like being a stand-up comedian is what leads to being a talk-show host. that life is not cut out for a woman, being on the road at these disgusting hotels. what girls want to do that? gross guys want to do that. i think that the dearth in female comics is just the nature of the business, but there certainly isn't a dearth anymore, so i think it's just silly.

Storm Technique Adequate

When an executive walked on our floor, it was at their own risk. as far as what others thought of working for me, i know i was very tough at times, and would storm down the hall after watching some bad animation from korea. but overall, i feel we had a good time.
Korea Risk Storm
Now and then sprays of rain flew over and misted our faces. every time i refused to wipe away the wetness. it made the world seem so alive to me. i couldn't help but envy the way a good storm got everyone's attention.
