About Me

My photo
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!

Counting Pennies

It is
Saturday.
The day I like to talk about
I was going to do a series of articles on the
ESA's
Schiaparelli Mars Probe,
but unfortunately,
the lander probably
"Crashed Landed"
and exploded on impact.
Photo Images,
by
shows an impact site
and the possible the parachute from the probe.
Sorry,
to the billions of
Euros
spent on this failed mission.

We have a new
Hydrogen Milky Way Map
though.

Astronomers unveil incredibly detailed new Milky Way map
"Astronomers in Germany and Australia charted hydrogen -- the most abundant element in space and the main component of stars and galaxies -- to give an unprecedented view of the Milky Way.
The map shows the concentration of stars and dwarf galaxies across the skies. The Magellanic Clouds can be seen at the lower right."

This next story is not about
Science,
but I thought everyone could use a
"Lucky Penney!"

A 'lucky penny' worth $1,000 could be hidden in your city
"If you think pennies are useless, you’re not alone. But, you might want to change that tune and start picking up pennies you see on the ground because one could be worth $1000. Financial company Ally recently hid 100 ‘lucky pennies’ in 10 cities across the country. Those who find the pennies will get $1000."

 This is,
Counting My Pennies,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The symbolism seemed so apt. The same technology that can propel apocalyptic weapons from continent to continent would enable the first human voyage to another planet. It was a choice of fitting mythic power: to embrace the planet named after, rather than the madness ascribed to, the god of war.”
- Carl Sagan, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
