One of my favorite bass solos is in the song "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo", performed by Victor Wooten in the band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He plays a fretless five-string bass and that song can give a subwoofer a really good workout.

Not my cup of tea but it was listenable (if that's a word) much prefer this:-
Primus - Southbound Pachyderm - YouTube[^]
It has elephants AND rhinos AND hippos - and also features (Mark Wallace) real instruments and a great video

Do you know how hard is the open the clenched fist of a 22 years old - mentally ill - child, who got into an extreme mood about some cookies?
That fist was holding the hair of my daughter... Two was sitting on him and we had to have to open each finger one-by-one... We were six... And we all strong - around 100 Kg - grown men... He just was beyond any pain...
She went to sleep crying...

Not on the same level... my daughter is autistic; when she has a meltdown episode, its hard to get her out of it... you just have to wait for the electrical storm in her brain to subside.
Then, the storm shorted short term memory and she doesn't remember it.

We are living in a settlement specially built around a school for mentally ill - some autistic too - with the purpose to integrate them with 'normal' people, by teaching them things and giving them opportunity to work and self managed life...
My kids are talking to those people without second thought, living wit them, celebrating with them... Just like any community...
It was the ever first time we experienced such an attack (we had other cases of burst, but no violent outcome)...

Adrenaline has just that effect. When you are scared or feel threatened, the body produces Adrenaline which makes you feel less pain and temporarily allows you to use your full strength to fight or flee. Normally that lasts only a short time, but in this case the 'safeties' might be off and the result much stronger.

Basically, I have a tip/trick I want to share which isn't enough for an article. So how do I do that?

Nope. Funny I had just found it there.

THE BIRTHDAY PARADOX
We probably all heard about it... And I'm not asking you to look the math up in Google, but I would like to have a good verbal explanation of it... Mostly about the paradox thing...
I'm specially interested in 23 - does it a special number in any way? Does it mean, that after passing the age 23, half of the people will celebrate their birthday on the same day I do?

Because if the answer was 42 (the right answer), a year would be about 1270-some days, and that's WAAAY too long.

Exactly my problem... As the ultimate answer is 42, how that the maths say 23?! Something have to be wrong, but I can't find it...

There's nothing special about 23, and it's certainly not a paradox; it's just the number where it is statistically 50-50 likely/unlikely.
40 is the point where it becomes statistically unlikely that there won't be* two people with the same birthday.
Probability calculation is easy; you'll pick it up in minutes. Try working the numbers yourself.
* It's better to work it out that way around, e.g. you could say that an intersection is an absolute certainty if there are 366 people, but that's not very useful -- you have to look into how unlikely it is that there would be only one intersection.
