highly entropic elephants

From my thermodynamics textbook:

"Efficient people lead low-entropy (highly organised) lives.... Inefficient people, on the other hand, are disorganised and lead high-entropy lives.... People leading high-entropy lifestyles are always on the run, and never seem to catch up.

You probably noticed (with frustration) that some people seem to learn fast and remember well what they learn. We can call this type of learning organised or low-entropy learning.... On the other hand, people who throw the information into their minds as they study, with no effort to secure it, may think they are learning. They are bound to discover otherwise when they need to retrieve the information, for example, during a test."


Yup. That's from my textbook.

Yup. I do read a bit of my textbook contrary to popular belief. Not really important and really really doubt this will come out for my exams (coming to a theatre near you). But so interesting to find something so relevant inside.

Yup. I'm HIGHLY ENTROPIC.



From a friend (who loves his elephant jokes):

How do you kill a blue elephant??


With a blue elephant gun.

How do you kill a red elephant??


Strangle the red elephant till it becomes blue and then kill it with the blue elephant gun.

How do you kill a green elephant??


Make the green elephant so angry it becomes red, then strangle it till it becomes blue, and then kill it with the blue elephant gun.


Funny?? Someone thinks it is. You be the judge.
