Here's what I was reading (then subsequentially thinking) in some elementary math class oh-so-long ago.

1: If Nerd on the planet Nutley starts out in his spaceship at 20 KPH, and his speed doubles every 3.2 seconds, how long will it be before he exceeds the speed of light? (Never... But, how long will it be before the Galactic Patrol picks up the pieces of his spaceship?)

2: If Roger Rowdy wrecks his car every week, and each week he breaks twice as many bones as before, how long will it be before he breaks every bone in his body? (He'll probably die after he breaks his skull about the third crash. How long will it be before they cut off his insurance? Where does he get a new car every week?)

3: If Johnson drinks one beer the first hour (slow start), four beers the next hour, nine beers the next, etc., and stacks the cans in a pyramid, how soon will Johnson's pyramid be larger than King Tut's? (SOON? What will his blood alcohol level be? 1000%? Or is Johnson in college?)

Excerpt from Stanislaw Lem's "Cyberiad"

When the Universe was not so out of whack as it is today, and all the
stars were lined up in their proper places, you could easily count them
from left to right, or top to bottom, and the larger and bluer ones
were set apart, and the smaller yellowing types pushed off to the
corners as bodies of a lower grade ...

Happy New Year!

I don't have much to say on it because I think I kind of want to keep this blog "timeless."

:^D

I'm just going with the flow tonight. And the flow always goes strong on nights like these.

How am I feeling? Why? Alright, no complaints. Looking forward to Midnight
