Lightning

It is lightning outside.

I think the word lightning is weird. Its not, "lighting" which is SIMILAR but not the same, nor is it, "Lightening" which means to make lighter, or a drop in the level of the uterus during the last weeks of pregnancy as the young lad or lass begins to make its escape. The first N is the MVP in the word lightning. It takes an overused set of letters and creates a new word that is so easy to say it practically feels good to say it. It has sort of a European look to it. If you disassemble the word lightning, you will find yourself in quite a conundrum. First you have you have "lightn" and then "ing". Obviously, there is more to it than that, so we will keep seperating letters until it makes sense. Lig-h-tn-ing Now that we have the ingredients, we can begin to put the recipie of success together. Lig is Swahili slang for Liger, which as we all know happens when a male lion and tigress gets struck by lightning at the same time and thus Liger is born. H stands for Heat, which explains why lightening is so hot.

tn stands for Tennessee which is where all lightning is manufactured by the TVA.

ING comes from the Dutch scientist Ingenhousz.

You might ask, "Why Ingenhousz? Didn't he mainly study the process of photosynthesis?"

Yes, this is true. However,

Seeing as the neoclassicist French painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres had already claimed the ING on the word photosynthesizing, ironic considering he was opposed to the light of Romanticism, Ingenhousz was later, after his death in 1799, given an honorary ING at the end of the word lightning for his hard work in the research of the general realm of light.

And you know,

I'm honestly surprised that most people I talk to don't know this.

CSI

Yesterday I took a long shower, then immediately went out and robbed a jewlrey store. After the crime scene was investigated, 10 raisins were identified and later arrested. 

Crastination.

Whatever crastination is, I'm for it.

Seeing as I have about 485 things to do right now, I thought I might take some time to dump all the useless trivial thoughts I have on a day to day basis, and make them available as a free service to the public. Although, these postings leave a carbon footprint of about 152 kg, which is enough to be banned from the National Forest Honors Society for Men and O Magazine, one should wonder if the consequences of my postings justifies all the harm it does to the environment.

a) By my procrastination, you can have a laugh.

b) Laughing is an extremely justifiable way of wasting time, thus promoting you from 'procrastinator' to 'effective break taker'.

3) The combination of laughing and effective time management reduces stress, ultimately increasing your health and life span.

3c) By living a healthier and longer life, you can make a better contribution to the economy and spend less on health care.

It is really quite simple. I wish the NFHSM would get off my back about it and start sending me my members subscription to O magazine again.

A word to the complaints about my updating habits.

I went to a museum of the future. I stood in an empty parking lot for about 15 minutes and then left.

I think it has a lot of potential.

Well now thats quite enough. Next time I'll let you know how I feel about stealing.

If you think about it.

At any point in time, humanity has the capacity to fire a missile from one side of the planet and hit someone's window on the other side. We can fire one bullet and hit a target 3/4 mile away. We can shoot down a satellite from a ship in the ocean.

We can blow up meteors in space.


And yet, it takes 2 hours to stop a woman driving a UHAUL in LA.

I don't think it would be unwise to use technologies like "missile lock" to deter UHAUL thieving criminals.
