I have started to read A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, this book is amazing. As a science geek I have never thought of myself as completely uneducated, but this book made me realize that I don't even know half of what I would like to know about Geology and Meteorology, the Physics part was not that thrilling when it came to the formulas and such, only some of the sub-nuclear phrases were new.

Then when he spoke of the different scientists I thought I was going to be forced to watch my own head explode after my consciousness had left my body in a fit of frustrations. Kelvin went to Cambridge at ten, ten! Man I really wish those girls that bitch all day about not being skinny enough would take a look a some of Newtons Achievements or all that Edmond Halley got going by sheer stubbornness. Then you can start feeling inferior. When I think about the fantasy and magnitude of Einsteins brain for him to be able to image something as complex as time in the general theory of relativity or to write something so brilliant and complex that people who wish to understand his thinking 50 years ago have to study for ages, I feel mind-numbingly humbled. That's why I'm taking the next train out of this small town and getting my inferior brain into some real physic-studies. Books are neat.

I wonder how much sense that made, but I've been reading some very funny rant-blogs and realized I wanted in on the fun too.
