Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

I have a few times that people say earlier (if they where kid or teenager) I can solve the Rubik's cube.
And later they say to other people (the same peoples): "I always took it apart i and put it good in" or "I took off the stickers".
And I think WHAT(!), a few minutes ago (sometimes days) you can solve it earlier.
 
Noncubers don't realize that just as how some people create beautiful things, we cubers do too. I mean, some play the guitar, and they make beautiful music (not all), while some can stack cups (not a big fan), while some others can freestyle football (soccer) and incorporate some breakdancing moves, etc., etc., etc. Well, we cubers create something beautiful with our abilities: a solve. When you think about it, imagine how the brain works and how it processes a solve. In learning algorithms, the brain can learn thousands of move sequences with muscle memory, and it can easily (with practice) recognize different patterns. It truly is wonderful. If it amuses you, why should anyone question that?

Some noncubers have said, "You're wasting your time, dude," or "What is that good for in life?" The truth is, cubing might probably not get me a scholarship to a good university, but that's my problem. I just respond with the above statement, and people learn to respect it. It might not be worth a lot to them, but it means something more to me, and that's all that matters with things such as hobbies.
 
the opinion on whether the universe is infinite or finite is divided.
the visible universe is about 14 billion light years in radius
the whole universe is about 10^30 times bigger than that
a lot of physicists believe in the many worlds theory ie a multiverse with many universes that are slightly different to each other

see page 34

i know this post is very old but the visible universe is an estimated to be about 150 billion light years, stars have been proven to be 40 billion light years away, but you are right the with actual universe being much larger
 
once on the metro with my cube I was solving and some guy said " hey bro can i see that?" and im like sure... and he chucked it into the tracks and said "dont have a cheating cube now sucker"
 
lol omg. Make him pay moniez.
I think I would "decently" tell him how angry that makes me and that it is not fu'king cheating

I get this one alot (I mean 'a lot', not the animal ;)) on the bus or train, and it irritates me so much... because I mean, how to react? Well how do you guys react? I usually just ignore them... Or if I'm in a really bad mood, just tell them to ya no, f off.

Stop showing off, nerd.

testing i-word (it's not a rude word tho, chris posted it earlier if u still dont get wat i mean): *****
hm, strange that it's censored, but I guess, it IS reasonable to censor it I guess.
