What is the universal language in the world?

If you ask others, most probably they will answer “English”. However, some may say “Chinese” “Japanese” or “German”. The interesting thing is, if you ask scientists, they will say “Mathematics”. You will find some rational below:

朋友有时像复杂的 add. maths.

我们之间的 distance 是友谊的绊脚石,

幸好友谊是我们的 midpoint,

让我们心灵互相 intercept。

欢乐是我们友情的 mode,

它的 frequency 就是 infinity。

而我们友情的 mean 就是回忆,

友情的 median 则是你和我。

我们之间的友情不需要 measure of dispersion,

因为我们的友谊是没有 limit 的 。。。

如果要把我们的友情写成一个 equation,

那它会是个 infinity。

The profile block

Finally, two week-long benchwork  had finished today. Starting from filing, sawing, marking, drilling, chiseling, countersink, counterbore, reaming and taping. No more labour work starting tomorrow. Sadly, tomorrow still got one more test to sit for.
