Brunswick Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 When you were born, your mother told me, a hush fell over the delivery room. A great red birthmark covered the left side of your face. No one knew what to say, so you cried to fill the vacuum. I always admired you for that; that you cried to fill whatever vacuum you found. I began to manufacture vacuums, just to enable you to deploy your talent. The birthmark faded by the time you were six, and had gone completely by the time we met, but your fascination with the empty, and its cure, remained. Those islands in the distance, I am sure, are nothing more than relics of another time, sleeping giants, somnambulist gods laid down for a final dreaming. I wash the sand from my lips and grip my wrist ever more tightly, my shaking arms will not support my fading diaries. Reading Donnelly by the weak afternoon sunlight. He landed on the south side of the island, followed the path to bay and climbed the mount. He did not find the caves and he did not chart the north side. I think this is why his understanding of the island is flawed, incomplete. He stood on the mount and only wondered momentarily how to descend. But then, he didn’t have my reasons. -Dear Esther- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoho Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 "Teach a man to reason and he'll think for a lifetime" - Phil Plait "There is a cult of ignorance in US, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."" - Isaac Asimov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggins Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 “YOLO" -Stupid people of Facebook/Twitter I believe this is one of the greatest ideas to hit the internet in terms of evolution. It accelerates the process of natural selection by slowly killing off the dumb people who use it. An example of the thoughts running through such a person’s mind; “No I shouldn’t, bath salts are dangerous. YOLO”… “That homeless man looks tasty…” That’s probably inappropriate, please don’t take me seriously. I know there are flaws in my theory but I find it amusing.
