Bad News

The usual mix of crap and sublime… as you will see.  Let’s start with the sublime:


…oh yeah, baby.


…to the astonishment of precisely… nobody.


…and nobody will watch it.

Some in a cheering crowd called for her to
be raped. Many were women.
…key word:  India.


…the funeral for Irony will tale place at a time and place TBD.


…whereupon said conservative school board fires them all.  Hey, I can dream…


…although it may make the folks at the bank a trifle nervous when you go in to make a deposit.  And still on COVIDIOCY:

   

Next, some logic:


…good question, innit?  Rachel Weisz and Winona Ryder were unavailable for comment.

Deep Thoughts, Numbers & Statistics

From the Comments to yesterday’s post about the two- vs. three dimension concepts came this, from Reader Harry (no relation):

Vertical projects (buildings, towers) do have 3 dimensions. They are described as vertical projects, even though their height does not always exceed their length or width.
Horizontal projects (roads, airfields) also have 3 dimensions. They are described as horizontal projects, even though their length does not always exceed their height or width.

I understand that perfectly, especially when viewed in Platonic terms.  You may call a table a “quadripod eating-surface”, but that does not negate its “table-ness”, which exists outside any definition.

A road, almost by definition, needs no thickness — it is a line that connects a starting point and a destination, and thus requires no third dimension.  (This is not true in Britishland, however, where a road can start in the middle of nowhere, meander all over the countryside and then just expire — probably out of sheer exhaustion — never having reached an actual destination.  And one may still encounter traffic jams on said roads because while they are theoretically bi-directional, their width is usually less than that of a single car — thus proving the statement that a line may have length but not width.)

Because buildings have no ending point (projecting upwards into thin air), they must have a third dimension.  A wall cannot exist without thickness — even when joined to the ceiling.  (Just because you need only two of its dimensions when hanging a picture, for example, doesn’t mean it needn’t have a third, as a moment’s thought will show.)

And now I need to quit, because I’m starting to get a headache.

…and in what format, I wonder?


…oh, THAT kind of “meeting”.  Figures.

…LMAO.  Prolly Russians or White supremacists throwing all that money at them.


…LOL rock, meet hard place;  or, when faced with the consequences of stupid policy, change the terminology.


…big of them.  Totalitarian assholes.


…to match the one Georgetown already has for their faculty, no doubt.


…the Bradford cops having solved ALL other terrible crimes in their area.
