A little bit of everything

Many times simple ideas are a spark to great things, they might be for scientific discoveries or for personal meaning of life. In this TED's Ed presentation, Adam Savage from Mythbusters's tv program, talks about two spectacular examples of scientific discoveries that had been born from creative and intriguing questions that anyone could have made: the Earth circumference's calculus near 200 b.c. by Eratosthenes and the light speed measurement by Hippolyte Fizeau in 1849.

When I heard 'romantic comedy' in general I imagine all the plot, the clichés and the final part. But Green Card movie , a 90's romantic comedy is a little different. Starred by Gérard Depardieu (as George) and Andie MacDowell (as Brontë) the movie tells us about the fake marriage between George and Brontë. The objective is for George to get the American Green Card and Bronte to rent an apartment. To deceive the imigration's officers they studied each other's life to pretend a marriage but they fell in love through the process. I liked specially the end because it's different from regular romantic comedies. Really it's an open end because the spectator doesn't know if the couple lives happily forever. A good tip to watch something light, fun but without clichés. Text Revision : Fatima from Idées  www.idees.com.br
