About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

So I Won't Get Stuck On Someone's Car,

You know a company has too much money when they start developing crazy idea projects,
just because they can.
the beloved search engine,
turned
World Dominating Corporation
has decided to spend the money to develop a glue which will adhere to the human body once one of it's self driving cars runs someone down.
Yes,
that's right.
If you get hit by a
Google Car,
you will be stuck somewhere on it
and drag until the on-board computer decides to stop.
"Google Patents 'Pedestrian Glue' for Self-Driving Cars." By Rob Quinn for Newser
"If you're unlucky enough to be hit by one of Google's self-driving cars, the company wants you to stay glued to the front of it, according to a patent that's dated May 17—not April 1. The patent describes an adhesive layer that may be a very sticky material and operate in a manner similar to flypaper, or double-sided duct tape, designed to prevent pedestrians from further injury, the San Jose Mercury News reports. The technology, which will also work on ordinary cars, will bring both the vehicle and the pedestrian to a more gradual stop than if the pedestrian bounces off the vehicle, the patent states. The sticky stuff will be under an eggshell-like layer so it won't end up covered in insects during everyday vehicle use. A Google spokeswoman declined to say whether the company really plans to introduce the system to its fleet. The company holds patents on a variety of ideas, she says: 
Some of those ideas later mature into real products and services, some don't."
 I can see it now.
The new game in town will be how many
Pedestrians
can you glue to your car in one day.
Prizes will be decided at a later date.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
