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!

Improbable Research

   I am an opsimath. I believe that it is important to keep on learning as you grow older, to keep your mind sharp, and stay abreast of what is coming in the field of interest that you always enjoyed learning about. Be it music, the arts, sciences, economics, history, and so on. 
   So discovering that the Ig Noble Prize has been given out for the last thirty-three years for, as the developers of the website state, "Improbable Research that makes people Laugh....then Think," interests me.
 
   Haven't you ever wondered why scientist study some of the things that they do? Well, those scientists are being recognized for those off the wall questions that you and I might ask, "Why are you looking into that?"
   Now you have a place to go and find out the new crazy questions that are being asked.
   If you want to take your science more seriously and you want to peer review some articles yourself, just go to Google Scholar and type something in the search bar like, Heuristic Algorithmic Viral Defense.
   You will have loads of fun.
This is,

Stays In Motion

And

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” - Benjamin Franklin -
 
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
