“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Living in the Bubble
“I don’t know who discovered water, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a fish.”
Looks like something Rube Goldberg might have dreamt up 75 years ago. The difference, of course, is that Goldberg's fiendishly circuitous, but essentially comical contraptions eventually got you from point A to point B, whereas here You just go and go and go and go and go at ever more frantic rates of speed and never get anywhere.

A Kafka-esque view of life?
I miss Zizek!
I'll have to find some to post... ;)
