Inside a local eatery on a recent night, I noticed a fat brown dot walking along the counter top. As it ducked in and around the napkin holder, hid in a crack near the menu rack then made a dash for glass of ice water, It became clear that this was no ordinary creature. This was a cockroach, the most enduring of all mankind’s associates.
Although my appetite was gone the waitress wasn’t even embarrassed. But she did become frustrated when she tried to kill it. With a roll of newspaper in hand, she took a mighty swat, then tossed the paper into a trash can. A few seconds later, here comes the cockroach, walking out of the newspaper roll, little stunned but apparently as thirsty as ever as it made its way back to the bar.

A morning commute seems like a good time to embark on an ambitious train of thought. At least, that was the idea from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which put a professor on a train on Wednesday to lecture commuters. Passengers on the 9 am train from the suburban community of Modin to Tel Avie put away their morning tabloids and iPods to listen to a talk from professor Hanoch Gutfreund on ‘Einstein’s love letters’. The lecture was the first of the University’s Scientists on the Rails’ programmer – an attempt to broaden the appeal of higher education and bring academia to the people.
Unsure how the move would be received, the train talks have been re-scheduled for just after morning rush hour and only in one carriage on the train to avoid antagonizing people. As the train chugged through tunnels and past the airport, one woman interrupted the professor with a question.
“Will you finish your talk before we reach the station?” She wanted to know.
“Madam, by the time you reach your station, you’ll have your BA”. came the reply from the professor.
Why did the woman ask the question to the professor?
She wanted him to leave the compartment
She wanted to be impolite to him
She wanted him to speak faster

Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do, at times when they are not working, instead of going to the cinema listening to the radio, or sleeping. But in actual fact, sports and games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains most of the day, and should not be treated only as amusements.
Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.
