Apparently, some people like being called virgins


One of my favorite one season shows was ‘Strange Luck.’
The premise was that a baby was the only survivor of an airliner crash, and ever since then he’s been afflicted by an unending series of bizarre coincidences.
At one point he’s arrested and pulled into the police station. He’s been arrested 153 times, but also has commendation letters from five different governors, the sitting President, and the last Pope.


I think not.
You gonna mess around with a guy who survived a lightning strike?
'Cause I ain’t gonna mess around with no guy who survived a lightning strike.


Which begs the question, what if you were hit by lightning and lived?


It takes two people to come to an agreement, but only one to start a fight.
Ironically, Mutually Assured Destruction has actually prevented nuclear war, even if it did result in a lot of proxy wars.
It’s a real world example of the trolley problem. The US and USSR killed hundreds of thousands Vietnamese but saved the lives of billions of other folks.
There’s an urban myth that white lighters are bad luck.

It’s been done before, back in 1985.
What I’d like to see is young John Watson as the hero, and Sherlock as a sniveling sidekick.
Watson was slowed down by his war wounds, but Holmes himself noted that Watson had a way with the ladies. Young John was probably quite the athlete and clever enough to get through medical school.
Meanwhile, Sherlock was probably overawed by Mycroft and was probably bullied.
“Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.”
It’s all good.
According to the macro, the ear is actually producing sounds. Sounds are vibrations. Apparently, the ear continues to vibrate without stimulation, the same way my thumb kept moving even if there was no game.
How is it ‘the opposite?’

Pretty sure this isn’t the first time in history someone had this problem.
I got rid of my handheld game after I noticed my thumb was starting to twitch while I was at rest.
Apparently, the same thing can happen with ears.
We have a six year old in charge…


It’s funny that in the classic Libertarian novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” the rule free society only works because there are no guns and literally everything is controlled by a single giant computer.
Objectivism creator Ayn Rand ended up on welfare after she lacked the will power to give up smoking.
Need I say more?
Anecdote.
Joe Dimaggio was one of the all time great Yankees. One year, late in the season, he’s playing a meaningless game; the team is already assured of playing in the post season. Joe is playing outfield and the batter shoots a rocket past him. He runs like a demon and makes a fantastic leap to make the play. One of his team mates asks him why he’s playing so hard when the season is over.
“Someone in the stands traveled here and paid good money to see me play. This might be the only time they see me, and I want them to be able to say that they saw Joe DiMaggio at his best.”
Years ago I read “Mexico” by James Mitchener and he wrote something similar about bullfights.
He said you had to watch a thousand bad bull fights before you saw a really good one.
And I’ve never even watched a video of a real bull fight, so don’t tell me how inhumane they are.
I spent too much time looking at the leg and ignoring the neck.
Coincidentally, 37 is the funniest number.
