I would like to offer this article about events on a slightly larger scale to benefit the mindsets of those who enjoy fomenting discontent, complaint, human hatred and bitter attitudes towards life in genral.

It might serve to remind you how fortunate you are to even have a planet, let alone an economy!! :<)

Regards,

A

As I recall, Hawking said that for every black hole, there's a white hole. We just haven't found one yet, I guess.

I used to read Asimov and Sagan as a teenager and be filled with the terror and wonder of it all. Well, still the feeling is there. It's truly awesome, in the best sense of the word.

That'd stretch your blues horizon some...sorry about that; I recognize the gravity of the situation and I guess I'm just a bit strung out lately.

Is it strung out or string theory?

I'm strung out on string theory, but I'm pushing myself as fast as I can to learn to knit -- purl driving, you might say.

Then again, maybe you wouldn't say that.

Welcome to Mudcat, BK, but you'd be more quickly accepted into the cafe's lynch mob if you were a bodhran killer.

Eleven dimensions in math, black holes in space, planets crushed to the size of pigeon eggs, light speeds that determine the length of the meter, and we still don't know who put the bomp in the bomp sha bomp sha bomp. Gotta get our priorities straight here.

Yeah, and we don't yet know who put the ram in the ram-a-lama-ding-dong either.

More money for Bomp and Ram research! Maybe if I could tie it to Homeland Security...hmmmm....

What is a "Bohdran?"
I know an Irish Hand-drum is a "bodhrán," but what is a bohdran?

One star down, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to go. Neither created nor destroyed. Like pollution.
