Axiom

Advantages Great character depth and story
Disadvantages Humans spoil it a bit

...finds himself drawn to her, she can fly, ha detection lasers and can shoot building destroying laser bullets from her hands that appear as if from nowhere. She however does not have any feelings and is only concerned about completing her directive. WALL-E shows her his home and eventually the plant, all of a sudden she puts the plant in her tummy and shuts down, WALL-E has no idea what is happening and puts her outside, but stands with her the entire time to protect her from the elements. Soon after the ship she was dropped by picks her up, WALL-E however holds on and finds himself drawn into space. After centuries of living in micro-gravity, the humans aboard the Axiom have lost considerable bone and muscle mass, rendering them too obese to stand let alone walk without assistance from their robot friends. The ship is piloted by Auto (Mac... Read review

Advantages Laughter is good for you
Disadvantages Groaning isn't

...OK, apologies to those of an entirely non-mathematical background. I am unsure of the origin of this joke. It may still provide the odd chuckle even for the non-mathematician. Problem: To Catch a Lion in the Sahara Desert. 1. The Hilbert (axiomatic) method We place a locked cage onto a given point in the desert. After that we introduce the following logical system: Axiom 1: The set of lions in the Sahara is not empty. Axiom 2: If there exists a lion in the Sahara, then there exists a lion in the cage. Procedure: If P is a theorem, and if the following is holds: "P implies Q", then Q is a theorem. Theorem 1: There exists a lion in the cage. 2. The geometrical inversion method We place a spherical cage in the desert, enter it and lock it from inside. We then perform an inversion with respect to the cage... Read review

Advantages A good way to travel
Disadvantages But could be better still

...are discounted heavily (e.g. NZ$109 on the TranzAlpine) and there are a variety of reductions (including a "backpacker" fare) available, as well as weekly deals and packages to include hotels. The website - address below - gives details. oo Reading through what I've written above, I find it's come out more negatively than I expected. This may be because my expectations were high, and thus always likely to be disappointed. I really wanted to like TranzScenic Railways. The axiom that rail is the best way to travel is one with which I often bore anyone who will listen and many who will not. However, I'm not sure this axiom holds true in New Zealand. This is partly because of the little things that TranzScenic - admittedly in common with many railways companies, which often seem... Read review
