Shaving with Ockham's Razor

Apr 05, 2004 14:56

Boy, what a day. Had a delightful change of pace in my biochemistry course. Had a grad student teaching. He was a bit pretentious with just a pinch of asshole thrown into the mix, but he was WAY preferable to the confusing idiot with bad english. Had some questions up on the projector about why there were two ATP molecules being generated instead of one, and, of course, I just look at the stoichiometry and say "well, it's because there's two molecules of phosphoenolpyruvate to begin with. It's just following numbers". Applying Ockham's Razor to that class really helped. You know, the thing about how the simplest explanation is usually the correct one? Works almost every time.
Speaking of simple explanations and assholes, has everyone out there who is reading this (wow, you're reading my journal. Either your a friend of mine, or someone with WAY too much free time) seen Foamy's Rant? If you haven't, get your squirrely ass over to http://www.illwillpress.com right fucking now!
Speaking of Ockham's Razor and fucking, I can't believe some people these days. Any moment now, folks are going to be claiming that they were walking around naked, minding their own business, when they tripped and Oops! It just fell right in there, honest! I didn't even see 'em laying on the bed like that! Why don't people have the sense the Gods gave a Banisteriopsis caapi (Ayahuasca) vine? Wait...don't answer that. Your reply is likely to cause my brain pain from translating it from pushoverese to English.
I remove myself from you for the moment, that I might continue my dilligent work creating things you like to call "Web Pages".
