Golden lights displaying your name

40-and-50

Today is Switchsky's birthday. Happy birthday Switch.

(The great thing about blogger is that you can backdate stuff so that belated birthday wishes almost seem like they were there at the right time in the right place from the start.)

Was sitting watching this hour-long, arse-licking advertisement for The Most Obnoxious Family On Earth when I formed the query. Surprisingly, not even Google could answer this.

(With thanks to Jules for drawing the regina-rutting Alsatian for me.)

"Beliefs, once acquired, have a kind of inertia in that there is a preference to alter them as little as possible. There is a tendency to reject evidence or ideas that are inconsistent with current beliefs, particularly if they undermine central beliefs."

-Lewis Wolpert, 'Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast' (p85)

Who is God?

he-is-knowable

Incredible to think that this is still one of the biggest questions out there.

Especially as it is so clearly and incontrovertibly answered by those models of pedagogic objectivity: everystudent.com. Thanks guys!

Ashwood: the University of Life!

I quite like the idea of a doctorate awarded 'on the basis of life experience'.

With the pound-dollar exchange rate being quite favourable at the moment, I'm tempted to buy myself a PhD in Psychiatry. What do you think?
