Complicated Everyday Roads

One obvious situation that most highly-industrialized countries have in common is the existence of complex road systems. Complicated road systems, specially in major metropolis, are being utilized inorder to accomodate the ever growing numbers of transportations that being used by each of the family residing in such places, as well as all the visitors and tourists that come to visit the place.

Most roads that are being built in different countries or cities are quite unique from each other. The uniqueness and characteristic of each roads are being deisigned inorder to catter to the unique need and problem of each place, where the road is placed. Almost no roads, specially major intersections, are ever designed exactly the same. Some roads may have the same mechanism and engineering technicality but may differ in number of exits or lanes depending on how many other roads are around it. Some roads are specially designed and engineered to withstand the weather or the type of environment that is unique to that particular place.

Many of us may have used major intersections and roads in different countries or cities on regular basis, but may not be aware how complex these roads really are until we see them in aerial views.

Formulas And Equations

I took an engineering course in college, and being in an engineering field is dealing with all kinds of formulas and dealing with symbols as well. There are so many equations and formulas to memorize necessary to calculate or solve any given problem or situation. And its not always easy to remember everything, thats why a list of formulas and equations can be found very useful and helpful to all those who need to use them not only at studies, but at work and in real life situations as well!

Optical Illusions

I used to get tons of forward emails from some friends sharing interesting optical illusions figures in it. Although, I personally dont see a practical use for it, i find most optical illusions very entertaining and mind-blowing, in a way. Some of these optical illusions are so complex and hard to comprehend that they sometimes twist my brain out trying to figure them out: how did that happen or is it really possible!

There are several types of optical illusions out there that been circulating in the internet. At Dynamic Optical Illusions page they provide some great collections of optical illusions.
