Michael Stevens: How much does a video weigh?

In his TED talk, Michael Stevens asks the ingeniously silly questions 'How much does a video weigh'; 'What colour is a mirror'? Through Vsauce - a popular educational youtube video - Michael asks quirky questions such as this to explain how learning is best facilitated through curiosity.

"Is your Red the Same and My Red?"

I am very proud to announce that my small team and I have so far donated enough money to be second on the global poverty project leader board (as on march 6th)! A huge thank you to everyone who has donated money so far! It goes to show that ever donation, however small, can make a giant difference!

After a week full of temptations of the chocolate kind, my live below the venture is finally over! I took part to raise awareness and a bit of money for the 1.4 million people living in absolute poverty in the world. If you wanted to donate, but haven't done so it's not too late!

Wednesday 29th feb.

Breakfast: A handful of raw oats and a slice of buttered toast.

Lunch: beans on toast with a fried egg.

Dinner: Beanie feast, consisting of mushy peas, baked beans and buttered beans, stirred into boiled rice.
Unfortunately the butter beans where still crunchy despite a 24 hour pre-soaking. After a while eating this dish became tolling on my jaw!

Awoke this morning feeling a lot less groggy then normal! Can it be that this diet may actually be good for me? I wouldn't be surprised if I managed to get an energy boost over the night from sleep snaking on ladybirds. They do seem to like sky bombing my face!  . . . Actually that's disgusting, no!

Well, for breakfast I had watery porridge with a spoonful of sugar (or my sugar alternate: jam).
Lunch consisted of beans on toast, and for dinner sausage pasta.

Final food confrontation was in the evening, soaking the butter beans in water in preparation for tomorrows dinner.

Day two, and beginning to notice temptations. Having watched an advertisement for the new bubble dairy milk bars, I began to desperately want chocolate! However, I managed to complete today without giving in. Horah!

Breakfast - A very watery porridge. Not the best, but contained lots of fibre and stuff. Washed it down with a nice cuppa.

Lunch - 1 slice of buttered toast (heaven after the porridge)

Dinner - A form of chilli con carne, except with no meat and extra kidney beans. Wasn't all that great . . .
