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!

Long Boards Or Short?

Since I like
Science
so much,
and I like to try to be funny,
I thought it was time to bring back my story
A
Post
I wrote on
February 13th, 2016.

*****

I was talking to my friend Albert awhile back, 
you know, 
Albert Einstein.
About a hundred years ago,
I was talking to him about some of his theories.
He starts telling me,
"We will not only use telescopes to do astronomy, by seeing beautiful close-ups of the Planets and our Moon, but we'll see the Milky Way in a whole light. In the future we'll finally understand Star formation, how our Solar System was born, and we'll discover and prove my theory on Black Holes."
 So I say to him,
"Come on Al, aren't you stretching things a bit with your Black Hole theory?"
So Al, 
who is part of my posse says to me,
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” 
If I didn't know any better, 
I would have thought that I just got insulted, 
I think?
Well, 
my 
Good Ol' Homie 
was proven right once again last 
September 14th, 2015
It took Scientist, 
who released their findings just a couple of days ago, 
that long to sift through all the data to prove there are 
Gravitational Waves. 
They did it with 
LIGO
You know, 
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatories.
The headlines read,
"A scientific milestone was achieved using a pair of giant laser detectors in the United States, located in Louisiana and Washington State, capping a decades-long quest to find these waves." Story by Will Dunham and Scott Malone for Reuters.
I know, 
these guys are cheating! 
My man Einstein used chalk 
and a blackboard for his findings. 
These 
LIGO  
people are using lasers 
and got their money from,
"an independent agency of the United States government, who provided about $1.1 billion in funding for the research over the past 40 years."
But I must say, 
I always wanted one of those laser pointy sticks for myself! 
I would use it to set up my wobbly telescope, 
pointing it to the Moon.

This is,
Gravitational Waves Are Kind Of Small,
So I'm Using A Long Board When I Go Surfing,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,


“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign of?” 
That is my story and I am sticking to it because it is all true!
