Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

I was thinking about the 'gap' in education/knowledge levels between professional scientists (or just any highly educated person), and the "average person". Then I wondered if in the past the gap was smaller, because we knew a lot less then.

 

If so, then I wonder if that trend (increasing knowledge gap with time) does not bode well for the future.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is just about the saddest Christmas song ever, when it's done right. The line "Through the years we all will be together... if the fates allow" can just bring tears to my eyes.

 

Of course, most singers juice it up and make it a peppy little happy Xmas song, which totally ruins it. :(

Hmmm. Several Billboards around here have been purchased by a local hospital to show a picture of one of the Doctors (each one has a different doc) and the words "I Hate Cancer!"

 

I can't help but think when I see the billboards, "What did he do to all these doctors?"

"One abiding thing that Hitch and I shared was a passionate hatred of the Christmas season. He rightly saw it as a fascistic enterprise to insist that your mood be in sync with everyone else. And that your mood also be happy. F@$% that."

Andrew Sullivan, on Christopher Hitchens

My poor little cat is so upset with me. She's usually allowed to stay in my bedroom. But because of my sickness, she's not allowed to come in. And I can't really pet her, because she may get sick. Of course, she doesn't understand that, and she's pouting big time.

News flash! Numerology is bogus!

 

Nothing special happend at 11 seconds past 11:11* on November 11, in the year 1111** (i.e., on 1111/11/11 11:11:11)!

 

*Which 'special' time zone are we talking about, or did this nothing happen 24 times? And is that AM or PM?

**Naturally, only the Julian/Gregorian calendar can be used in Date/Time Numerology.
