Nice image of Eiffel Tower acting as the Lightning Rod which it has always been.

And now a totally different matter; PLEASE allow comments on (Ark's?) 'Quantum Quirks'! I believe that I've requested this previously more than thrice, and that I first so asked with within a week of its appearance blessing this site. Genius deserves recognition!

As I type this, it is located, for me, RIGHT HERE - - - - - - ->>>>

although it's probably elsewhere for you. (It's at the very bottom of the right column items and links.)

A typical quick glimpse of QQ now, (5.19p EDT, 6/3/18 Sunday) shows a photo of two forks stuck in the ends of a hot dog, with some lights. (That's likely what too many would leave the image with; but shouldn't!)

However, the way my brain has always worked, I cannot 'bypass' seeing pretty much everything.* It is actually a photograph of what some watched in a Junior High physics class, covering electromagnetics and energy generally.

A closer look at the photo shows that the two forks are wired up to an electrical source, (probably DC), and that an electrical current is running through the hot dog, causing:

A) The tiny LED? Christmas lights to light up; AND,

B) Cooking the hot dog due to the resistance in the hot dog.

The title of the picture is "I = V/R," also known as "Ohm's Law." (Anyone flash back to Junior High School?)

Of course, the final question is: Who ate the hot dog?

That genius deserves recognition and discussion!!!

Thanks for considering my (and others, I'm sure) respectful request.

Ps, I know you folks now allow comments on your "Picture of the Day" at the top of the column; but not on QQ. I'll post this there, also.

* Which tendency towards over input caused me to never buy a TV until when I was ~ 32 (about seven years ago)** when I bought one watch film videos. I also cannot have one playing if I'm trying to do anything else, as it prevents me getting anything done.

Another example of that predisposition is that whenever I am driving down the road, I notice, without looking, every misspelled word on the roadsigns, along with every upside-down "N', any upside-down 6 in place of a 9, any zero in place of an "O", and vice versa, etc.

Folks who've driven with me will hear me say stuff like:

RC: "Back there on the right is a sign with an upside-down small 'g' posing as a six.

Rider: "Where? What?"

RC: "I don't know, I just know my brain saw it." (It's been eons since anyone questioned the truth of such statements as I'll say, "OK, if you wish to go back, we'll go back, and if I can't show it to you - though I don't know exactly where it is, I'll pay you $10; But, if it's there, you pay me $10.")

So I always notice QQ and it is routinely fantastic!

** Jesting; I'm a bit older than that; e.g., I remember 11/22/63 very well.
