Apparently, a good thing to do with blogs is rant about things that annoy you. And I’m all in favour of doing good things with blogs…
By the way, today’s theme is – vaguely – science.
- The other night NASA smashed a space probe into the Moon. Liking both astronomy and large explosions, I naturally looked it up in the newspaper the next day. What category do you think it turned up in? World news. I think they’ve missed the point.
- Kirk Cameron, renowned creationist and growing pain, likes to use bananas as an example of intelligent design. How they’re perfectly designed for us to eat, etc., etc. But what about those annoying stringy bits down the side? Which are clearly an anti-eating defense mechanism caught in mid-evolution. Explain that!
- Zeno’s paradox, dating back to ancient Greece, the notion that before you can move a distance you have to cover half the distance, but before that a quarter of the distance, and so on. You therefore have to cover an infinite number of distances, so motion is impossible. No offence to the ancient Greeks, but that’s clearly ridiculous.
As demonstrated by my effort today in attempting and completing a half marathon. Thank you, thank you. It was difficult, but made easier by weeks of carb-loading, hydrating and whinging.
And I did it as part of the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre’s Run for Refugees team.
You should acknowledge my heroic, ancient Greek confounding effort by donating lots of money to this worthy cause. Please donate online at www.ourcommunity.com.au/giving/appeal_details.form?appealId=1733
Don’t make me smash a space probe into your crater.

Well done. If I were a spider and you were a pig, I’d write something felicitatious in my web. Or maybe you’d eat me before I could do that. Or maybe I’d bite your soft, bacony hide and withhold my congratulations. It’s hard to say what might pass.
Anyway, keep it up, but if you don’t, for God’s sake stop carb-loading.
You’ll always be Dakota Fanning to me.
Hee hee, I said “Fanning”.
