The universe of statistics is curved in upon itself. Often, you can only go so far with some extreme probability before it indeed expresses itself, way before it was ever expected. Remember the RadioLab episode, (I think), where a girl in England lost her balloon, and some other girl in England found it - and they both had the same names, and so on ( Read more... )

We make the most delicious sausage on the planet, so you don't even have to watch.  Yes, it's a harrowing process, with an inch of love, a spoonful of elbow greace, and a gram of cocaine, but no animals are harmed except for me.  Many of these are articles which are spinoffs from other posts, which don't really fit anywhere else.  That is true of ( Read more... )

Whenever I finally get the guy downstairs to shut up, and I return to being my quiet self, my dog starts doing stupid things - things that inevitably make noise, more than usual. A lot more. But this is often partly due to the fact that it is hot and humid. And the floorboards consequently squeak more. And it is often hot and humid just after ( Read more... )

[…] This was many years ago, long before Oz came out of the clouds to rule over this land ( Read more... )

Let your mind relax, and float downstream. Gather a little chaos here, a little there, and you will find, that your consciousness is unlocking various coded information in the quantum, Origami Universe. And, so, you begin to see coincidences - synchronicities - miraculous anomalies, defying standard statistics. This measurement, which includes ( Read more... )

As I have intimated, I have experienced many a queer coincidence, in these days of miracle and wonder. I can't even begin to count. I think the greatest "miracles" occur when I come out of a bad relapse, and my VPC, (Brain-Finger), as well as my Pineal Gland, (Penis-Flashlight), become so creative that I come up with these genius associations and ( Read more... )
