Randomoddities II

I was looking through my .docs and found this one titled 'nihilism'. Curious to see what I wrote on that, I opened it...it was a blank page.

Why should there be such a thing as Absolute Zero, or absolute cold; a degree of coldness beyond which nothing can go, and yet, as far as we know, no upper limit on temperature at all, millions, billions, trillions of degrees, vastly hotter than a human can imagine, yet still no limit in sight? Is this not a decidedly asymmetrical, unbalanced aspect of the universe? And why should humans be so relatively close to the cold end than the other end, if there is an upper end? And just how 'absolute' is it?

Why is 'batshit' considered so crazy? Bats have natural processes too and guano can make great fertilizer and sometimes bomb component.

I think the notion that "power corrupts" is one of those things humans have heard and mindlessly repeat...I don't buy it at all. I think a pauper peasant can be as corrupt as anyone, but who could tell, except maybe his wife...maybe his animals. You only see corruption from the powerful because they have the means to display their corruption to the world, the peasant does not.

I have definitely been on Facebook too much lately. I never met the man, have no idea what he looks like but I actually dreamed of Bob Dobbs...looked much like Chaz Bono.

I think if you can watch and understand that video and still care about online drama queens, you gotz srs probs.

If you have Netflix access, you can watch the Star Trek TOS episode Return to Tomorrow in the instant lineup. Otherwise, perhaps you would go to Memory-Alpha and check out that episode. The major theme of the episode is a DUMB premise...who can say why?

Very cool...we already have practical ways to power our Moon and Mars colonies.

"...training for new deployment to Afghanistan later this year. So much for "troop withdrawal", eh? If this "war" were sex, we be in hospital having the penis surgically removed by now.

Then again, we may never make it to have Mars colonies...two examples of why the human species MUST become extinct: THIS and the fact that the Library of Congress is preserving EVERY tweet for posterity.
