That falls under Murphy's Law, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colors of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colors of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our color vision. |

I have a question....
Why is it that when someone is trying to crap out a particularly hard or big turd they tend to grin? I mean, it's not like such a thing is particularly funny, right? Gene |

In truth I cribbed this question from Trevanian's "The Main", where an old time French Canadian cop is teamed up with a kid who just graduated college. One of the Cop's partners asks the kid the question just as I posed it. Gene |

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the class if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor picked up a box filled with pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly, and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full, and they agreed that it was. The professor then took a bag of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students replied with an unanimous "yes". The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured them into the jar, effectively filling the spaces between the grains of sand. The students laughed. "Now", said the professor, as the laughter died down, "I want you to recognize that the jar represents your life. The golf balls represent things that are most important to you- your health, your family, your children, your friends, your favorite passions- like your Yaris. Things that if everything else was lost, and only they remained, your life would be considered full." "The pebbles are things that matter- like your house, your job, your other non-Yaris car. The sand is everything else- the small stuff." "If you put the sand in the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. the same goes for life. If you spend all of your time and energy worrying about the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Mod your Yaris. Play with your kids. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter, Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of beers." Author Unknown, edited by Bobselectric |
