Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Wait, so let me get this straight. The only foreign power that's gonna fully support us when we jump into a new war is... France?!??!

What a difference 10 years makes.

The support should be considered equivocal.

I suppose this could be France's way of paying us back for support in Libya and Mali, where the French got to act like Imperial masters from days gone by.  Vive la France!

How did that guy manage to get Ségolène Royal and Valerie Trierweiler?  (Maybe lefty women are secretly attracted to powerful men, though they dare not admit it.)

What a politically incorrect statement. Women aren't especially attracted to men with power or money.  :P ;)

This kind of makes me think that electronic voting is a good idea.

This graph shows the percentage of the US population which has a job or is looking for a job.



Oh dear,  unemployment is inching down from crisis levels just because more and more people have given up finding a job.  Most of those who gave up are in the 18-24 year old age group.  Yikes!

Maybe Syria isn't our biggest problem right now.

It's impossible for any sane person to argue with that, though a protracted, large-scale war could add to employment . . .

You're suggesting that we can send all those unemployed and unemployable 18-24 year olds to be gassed in Syria?  No wonder they call economics "the dismal science."

I was thinking more along the lines of weapons manufacture, but your idea has its merits.

A local story, but one that I do enjoy.  A foreign corporation operating in the US wants the US Federal Government to raise tariffs - again - on the Chinese.  Even Willis Hawley himself might have had a problem with this.  One thing is certain, the consumer will win in the end.

A 64 year old Japanese profession and former Olympic athlete suggested that Hide and Seek should be added as an Olympic sport. He believes Tokyo winning its bid for the summer games is the best opportunity to help add Hide and Seek as an Olympic sport. H&S does not require great physical ability, so everyone can participate. It will help many people realise their Olympic dreams where previously it can only be a dream.

At last, there is scientific proof that homosexuality is wrong ... proof found by a Nigerian post-grad student with bar magnets and electrolysis  ::).

“For example, when you bring sulphuric acid and you reacts it with sodium hydroxide which is a base you are going to have salt and water. That tells you that the acid is a different body, the base is a different body and they will react. (...) If you bring a base (...) and you pour it on top of a sodium hydroxide you find out that there will be reaction showing that a man on top of a man will have no reaction. A woman on top of a woman will have no reaction, that is what chemistry is showing. Even in chemistry when you also use a process called electrolysis (...) you found that the negative ions will be attracted to the positive ones while the positive ions will be attracted to the negative ones. So the negative ones are not attracted to their peers, they are all attracted to the positive electrode and the positive ones are not attracted to the positive electrode. Instead, the negative ion is attracted to positive electrodes and why is it that the negative is attracted to the positive? It is because they are not the same. Likewise a man cannot be attracted to a man as negative ion is not attracted to the negative electrode instead negative ion is attracted to the positive electrode. That is what electrolysis is showing us that gay marriage is wrong in the area of chemistry."


Oh, and he also uses as further proof mathematics...
Quote“If you go on the Internet to check whether there is anybody who has used physics to prove gay marriage wrong, you find out there is none. You go to Google or youtube check whether there is anybody that has used chemistry to find same sex marriage wrong, you find out there is none and the same applies to biology and mathematics."
There might be a very good reason for why nobody else has used mathematics, chemistry or physics. to prove that gay marriage is wrong..
