“Clint Eastwood” by the Gorillaz is called that because it samples the theme from “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”

A Stellar Point

If I drink a glass of water after eating a pretzel, it quenches my thirst.  If I drink a glass of water before eating a pretzel, I’m thirsty after I finish the pretzel.  What’s going on here?

RFD:  The earliest written evidence of a collapsible umbrella dates back to 23 CE when Chinese Emperor Wang Mang used one on his cartridge.  Jesus got wet in the rain.

In The Mind’s I, Daniel Dennett shares a reductio ad absurdum that Galileo created.  I will do my best to paraphrase it:

Premise:  Heavy objects fall faster than light objects (relative to each other)

1.       If a heavy object (x) and a light object (y) are attached by a string and dropped off a tower, y will act as a drag to x, since it falls slower

2.       X will fall slower when it is attached to y

3.       However, when x and y are attached together, they create a new object (z)

4.       Z, which is heavier than x and y individually, will fall faster than x

5.       Z cannot fall both faster and slower than x, because this is a contradiction

Conclusion:  The premise is invalid

Bob Dylan sells out

Black & white photos will have a different sense of nostalgia in the future.

It kinda pisses me off when people apologize for slavery.  Unless they’re reformed slavemasters, in which case it’s the right thing to do.

Mellifluous is autological.

Which is harder- brain surgery or rocket science?

Sometimes the destination is more important than the journey.  Like going to the ER.
