   you fucking uneducated imbecile. I shit on your country   
      
   this cretin don't know, nor undrestand the equations regarding a mark on   
   an sphere or an ellipse. Those are fundamental in Fluid Mechanics and   
   physics in general   
      
   eat shit, you fucking big mouth, brainless, imbecile.. an imbecile with a
