Posted by: Urban In: misc

As it happens, on June 6 2012 we’ll have another one of those rare Venus transits. This means that the Venus will pass directly in front of the Sun, similarly to an eclipse (however, Venus is so small you won’t even notice it without special equipment).

Najbrž ne škodi, da je dober govornik, ampak argumenti, ki jih predstavi, so precej smiselni. Fruktoza je ogljikov hidrat, ki sladkorju daje sladek okus. Namizni sladkor (saharoza) je sestavljen iz ene molekule glukoze (dobra za nas, ker jo lahko metabolizira praktično [...]
