Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part B - Bhima and Hidimba



The brothers escape through a passage way and head into a forest
The forest has a lot of scary monster, including demons
Eventually they find a place to rest
One of the demons in the forest was particularly dangerous
He noticed the humans and sent his sister to get the humans for him
His sister could shape shift and she transformed herself into a beautiful woman
When she saw one of the brothers she fell in love
she told him of her brothers plan and asked him to marry her
She offered to rescue them and take them to a safe place
The demon brother grew impatient and then went to confront his sister and the humans
One of the brothers fought the monster

Could stage this as sort of an undercover story
a person undercover in a cartel is sent to kill some people
Instead of killing them he puts them into witness protection

Or maybe an assassin that doesn't actually kill people, just tells them to go into hiding

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day.

Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing.

Week 14 Reading - Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales Part A: The Monkey-Bridge

There was a group of monkeys that lived near a river with a great tree that bore fruit. The monkeys never let any fruit fall into the river as they were afraid that if fruit fell in, it would float down to a human city and the humans would come searching for the fruit, thus forcing the monkeys away. One fruit was hidden by an ant nest and fell into the river and floated to the city. A king found it and tasted it and then ordered the tree the fruit came from be found. The king ordered the monkeys killed. The monkey king leapt to another tree and tied a reed around his foot, then jumped back so that his people could cross to the other tree. The reed was only long enough to allow him to grab the tree. All of the monkeys fled, but one monkey jumped on the monkey king's back and broke it. Then, they left him behind. The human king brought him down and spoke to him, moved by what he saw. The monkey king spoke some wisdom to him, then died. The human king built a temple in the m...
