Post #3: NiA =]

I never knew how the terms Celsius and Fahrenheit came about. Nor did I even know how the invention on the thermometer came to be. It's interesting how an upside down glass bottle in a bowl of water brought about the idea of the mercury thermometer. If it weren't for innovative thinkers like Galileo, our lives would absolutely nothing like they are today. Pretty much everything in this world came about because of someone thinking outside the box. iPods, cell phones, cars, planes, sports equipment, school supplies: none of that would be available to us. We wouldn't even be writing on this blog site. Those unconventional, independent thinkers are what make the world what it is today, scientists included. If everyone thought the same way, there would be no way for you to stand out from the crowd to show others what you can do. Keep up the good thoughts =]
