The domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (complex systems such as global finance, or in politics, where linkage is only a hypothesis).
Demonstrations of the effect
The classic demonstration involves setting up a chain of dominoes stood on end, and toppling the first domino. That domino topples the one next to it, and so on. In theory, however long the chain the dominoes will still fall. This is because the energy required to topple each domino is less than the energy transferred by each impact, so the chain is self-sustaining. Energy is stored by setting each domino in the metastable upright position, and that energy is what keeps the chain toppling.
There are many demonstrations of the effect involving more complex systems.
Although apparently complex and lacking the purity of a simple chain, this involves a simple physical linkage whereby each eruption triggers the next.

Once upon a time there lived a king.
The king had a beautiful daughter, the PRINCESS.
But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt.
No matter what;
metal,
wood,
stone,
Anything she touched would melt.
Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her.
The king desperated. What could he do to help his daughter?
He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, ‘If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured.’
The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king’s wealth.
THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE.
The first brought a sword of the finest steel.
But at last, when the princess touched it, it melted, and the prince went away sadly.
The second prince brought diamonds.
He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once the princess touched them, they melted. He too was sent away disappointed.
:-[
The third prince approached.
He told the princess, ‘Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there.’
The princess did as she was told, though she turned red.
She felt something hard. She held it in her hand.
And it did not melt!!!
The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.

M&M’s of course. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

Kalau Anda melihat dua foto di bawah ini dari tempat duduk di depan komputer Anda, si Tuan Pemarah ada di sebelah kiri dan sang Nyonya Kalem di sebelah kanan.
when you see this 2 pictures in front of your computer, you’ll see the MR ANGRY in your leftside and MRS SMILY in the rightside.
Sekarang berdirilah dari tempat duduk Anda dan mundur kurang lebih 3 meter, dan Woooow!!! mereka berpindah tempat!!!!
Now stand up and see by standing far from your computer about 2-3 meters, and WOOOW…..! They change position. You see !!!
Illusi ini diciptakan oleh Phillipe G. Schyns dan Aude Oliva dari Universitas Glasgow. Membuktikan bahwa belum tentu apa yang kita lihat benar-benar ada di depan kita!!!
This illusion was created by Phillipe G Schyns and Aude Olivia from Glasgow University. Its proven that what we saw in front of us is uncertainty .

Difference between Wife & Girlfriend
Wife is like TV, girlfriend is like Handphone (HP)
At home watch TV, go out bring HP.
No money, sell TV. Got money change HP.
Sometimes enjoy TV, but most of the time play with HP.
TV free for life
but HP, if you don’t pay the services will be terminated.
TV is big, bulky and most of the time old,
but handphone is cute, slim, curvy and very portable at any time.
Operational cost for TV is often acceptable
but for HP is high and often demanding,
Most Important, TV got remote..
HP don’t have..
Last but not least……. .
TV do not have virus,
but hp yes……… .have VIRUS…….
…….so better choose TV.
