Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

None of Turing's impressive breakthroughs would have been possible without Gödel's highly inspirational work. So we computer/Internet users, whether we know it or not, owe a big debt to the latter and even more to the former.

I know it's rather radical and controversial but I needed to get that off my chest.


We've spent way too much time in stupid-city so consider this a breath of fresh air...

Say hello for me the next time that happens and tell it I am sorry I ran over its dog.

Agreed. There is only correct and incorrect - not something to be agreed or disagreed upon.

math is a religion which begins with a godly assumption that can't be proved (1+1=2)

Well, this is wrong on so many levels...

In brane cosmology, a ten dimension multi-verse is constituted of brane universes of three perceived dimensions, the other seven are undeveloped and of a size inferior to that of a single atom. Just imagine each brane being like the pages of a book, next to one another. Except that a page has two dimensions and one in which it is undeveloped. In the case of a BU, it's seven of these dimensions that are undeveloped and that means billions of billions of BUs that are less than a centimeter away from us!!! Too bad it's in dimensions that are inaccessible to us. Just picture the next BU as a next-door neighbor, you can only sort of hear what is going on there through the wall between the two apartments, but the hearing is attenuated and also distorted. Here we have a similar phenomenon with gravity, which is capable of exerting itself from one BU to the next and the effect is known as dark matter. Dark Matter attracts matter from our universe toward what are known as gravity wells but neither heat nor magnetism has any effect on it. According to brane cosmology, it is because Dark Matter is not in this BU, so you can no more effect it than you can move your neighbor's furniture through walls, except maybe if that furniture is filled with magnets and you're using a giant electromagnet, IOW in special cases.

Why is it that some days (today is one) the coffee just tastes better than it does other days. Same coffee made the same way, but today it just tastes better. Biorhythms?

It's so nice to be able to run ten kilometers every day and not feel tired by the experience. If anything it gives me even more energy for the rest of the day. Plus it's a wonderful catharsis, I can't count the number annoying events of my day that have been positively converted to physical effort. I am almost grateful to the occasional asshole that you inevitably meet on a busy day. Another thing that's good for running is fear. "fear" is excellent. I once was chased by a mad dog that seemed to come out of nowhere and decided to run after me for what felt like an eternity, I was able to run all the way to my house without feeling the least bit fatigued! Well, don't get me wrong, I am not in the least eager to be ambushed by pit bulls at every corner of the way but one in a great while is definitely stimulating, plus it sort of keeps me sharp, on my toes so to speak.

You felt guilty 4 being alive and the coffee told You the difference between guilty & lucky

Some days the coffee is made with a clean filter?

i sometimes wonder where you even find the time to post here but then it's only 27 posts a day, so it should be doable

What's the purpose of that remark?

That must be it, Herr Neun. My dad always said it's better to be lucky than good.

I was preparing my lunch this morning to take to work. While doing so, a bird landed on the fence outside my kitchen window. I thought to myself, “Ooh, a robin! Pretty!”

At which point it immediately pooped on the fence, then flew off.

I feel that this is somehow a metaphor for my life.
