(Two days ago, somewhere in Asia)Columbus' Egg
Recently I have noticed that I encountered many times in these days cars with a license plate number "88-88." This morning a Japanese newspaper read that a general or snap election seems to be scheduled for August 8 by Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso. Then, August 8, 2009 might be virtually the last day for the regime of the LDP-New Komeito political coalition in Japan if the DPJ does not fail in taking this opportunity smartly...
SECTION I: Christopher Columbus
Isaac Newton was not so great as he already knew that the world is a sphere, leading to a simple but valuable enigma why people on the other side of the Great Britain do not fall to the space.
It is Christopher Columbus that had promoted acts of experimental proof on the shape of the earth. Nonetheless, Columbus miscalculated the distance from Europe to Japan, his ultimate goal.
-------
Moreover, Columbus believed that one degree represented a shorter distance on the Earth's surface than was actually the case. Finally, he read maps as if the distances were calculated in Italian miles (1,238 meters). Accepting the length of a degree to be 56⅔ miles, from the writings of Alfraganus, he therefore calculated the circumference of the Earth as 25,255 kilometers at most, and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan as 3,000 Italian miles (3,700 km, or 2,300 statute miles). Columbus did not realize Alfraganus used the much longer Arabic mile (about 1,830 m).
The true circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km (25,000 sm), a figure established by Eratosthenes in the second century BC,[10] and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan 19,600 km (12,200 sm). No ship that was readily available in the 15th century could carry enough food and fresh water for such a journey...
While Columbus's calculations underestimated the circumference of the Earth and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan by the standards of his peers as well as in fact, Europeans generally assumed that the aquatic expanse between Europe and Asia was uninterrupted.

Except Jesus Christ Himself so gloriously, Christopher Columbus is the greatest hero in these 2000 years of the human history, definitely.
Christopher Columbus is the No.1 hero as he uniquely discovered the American Continent in 1492 on his incomplete mission to Japan.
His influence even covered the greatest discovery of gravity by Newton in the 17th century, namely 200 years after Columbus.

The Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (now known as the Principia) was published on 5 July 1687 with encouragement and financial help from Edmond Halley. In this work Newton stated the three universal laws of motion that were not to be improved upon for more than two hundred years. He used the Latin word gravitas (weight) for the effect that would become known as gravity, and defined the law of universal gravitation.

(The gravity must be a remnant reaction of the Big Bang or the initial formation of the time and space. The Big Bang exploded the space and time to expand this universe. But, there is always a reaction to an action. A unit of energy must have received both the expanding force and the contracting force due the first great explosion of the universe, the Big Bang, or the initial formation of the time and space some 14 billion years ago.
[This action-reaction model on the origin of the gravity must be first presented in the world by EEE Reporter, as an evidence....])
SECTION II: Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson
Marilyn Monroe mysteriously died on August 5, 1962.
Martin Luther King, Jr. in a revolutionary move died on April 4, 1968.
Michael Jackson mysteriously died on June 25, 2009.
Mr. Barack Obama is in a revolutionary move to run for the 2012 Presidential Election.

Another Airbus crashed on the opposite side of Africa very early on June 30 at the local time.
It is very apocalyptic, though a girl was rescued.
Is something so apocalyptic going on Africa or France?
Anyway the coming G7 Summit must be more tightly secured, if you are going to cover it.
(I did not, though, want to fly to Chicago when I first heard that song "the night Chicago died," since I was busy for my own survival as myself as I was so young. Sortez de Tokyo avant qu'il ne décède, ma princesse.

Luk 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Luk 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luk 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
