    I found TIME in the bathroom next to the towel stand... Why is there a towel stand in my bathroom? I don't recall there being one there before... I hope that was my bathroom...

    Hang on, I've got it written down somewhere (don't have a watch...)

    It's 13:53, or 7 minutes to two in old money. Bit late for lunch and a bit early for afternoon tea.

     

    time seems to be a variable speed

    Scientifically true if you're talking about the precise measurement of time between events in motion or in different gravitational fields. enlightened

    Conceptually true if you're talking about the general experience of time. smiley

    Philosophically irrelevant if you're in a state of nirvana. surprise

    JUST GLUE SOME GEARS ON IT (AND CALL IT STEAMPUNK) SONGTEXT

    As I read the Gazette to catch up on the news,
    Some classified adverts I chanced to peruse.
    When I saw a category called "Steampunk",
    I turned to it eagerly, but left in a funk.
    For I quite enjoy the steampunk aesthetic,
    But what I beheld there was rather pathetic!
    These intrepid online auctioneers
    Had just taken modern objects and stuck on some gears!
    It's simply not cricket!
    It shouldn't be done!
    But it's clear how their thoughts had run:


    Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
    That's the trendy fashion nowadays!
    A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
    Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!


    But it got even worse than that, I'm afraid:
    And as I went on, I became more dismayed;
    For they often didn't modify the things they wanted me to buy
    Heavens to Besty!
    They'll end up on Regretsy!
    Steampunk is more than a mere mode of dress
    or decoration, so it brings me some distress
    To see a metal cicada described with that name,
    Or a teacup,
    a mood ring,
    a silver gilt frame.
    Gluing on gears at least takes effort;
    This is sloth of the worst sort!


    Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
    That's the trendy fashion nowadays!
    A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
    Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!


    "Steampunk" refers to a type of science fiction
    about alternate pasts (not future prediction),
    Often set in Victorian Britain,
    But the history of technology has been rewritten.
    So put a bit of thought into your designs!
    Use leather and brass, nineteenth century lines!
    "Retro-futuristic" is a good explanation;
    Blend antique reality with imagination.
    But calling things "steampunk" to try to sound "cool",
    Makes you look like a bloody fool!


    Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
    That's the trendy fashion nowadays!
    A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
    Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!


    Gauges and rivets, copper tubing and glass
    Lend a steampunk creation a real touch of class
    Gears are appropriate to introduce
    If they look like they have a legitimate use.
    Although Nixie tubes are undeniably splendid,
    They date from long after the Age of Steam ended.
    (Pity, really; I just love Nixie tubes.)
    Anyway, I hope you've comprehended.
    So use the word "steampunk" correctly, old chap
    And don't use it to refer to crap!

    If a penny saved is a penny earned you could easily get rich that way.

    Friday complaint:  I get all my TV from Netflix over the Internet.  I've gotten involved with the British murder mystery drama series/soapopera "Broadchurch".  Made it through the first season and was left with the impression that it's a small town full of patheticly neurotic selfish busybodies all with rancid secrets that muddy the solving of the murder mystery.  But that's not my complaint.  My complaint is that I keep wanting to watch it and have gotten hooked on the 2nd season and see that the neurosis keeps growing. devil

    If a penny saved is a penny earned you could easily get rich that way.

    That expression bothers me.  If you have the penny, you've already earned it.  Whether you save it or spend it, it was still earned first...unless your rich daddy gave it to you.  laugh 

    Besides, a penny isn't worth much these days.  It would take an awfull lot of them to be rich.  What do you consider rich?  One million dollars?  That would take One hundred million pennies!  I can't imagine how much room that would take up.  surprise  I should go eat...my mind is wandering now.
