Reversible knitting

I was in a bookstore today, and saw a book with the title “Reversible Knitting.” I don’t knit, but I thought, “Brilliant! You make something, you get tired of it, and then you un-knit it and turn it into something else!”

Sadly, that wasn’t what it was about at all.

If there is an infinite number of alternate universes, in one of them there is a universe which does not have an infinite number of alternate universes.

This paradox will keep me awake tonight thinking about it. Well, OK, probably not me, personally, but some alternate version of me will be fretting about it somewhere.

Season’s Greetings!

Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all.

A new slogan for Lunesta?

I just saw an ad for Lunesta, the prescription sleep aid whose side effects include possible dependency, sleepwalking (or eating, or driving), aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations or confusion, allergic reaction, risk of suicide, unpleasant taste, dizziness, headache, and morning drowsiness.

So I have a new slogan for them:

“Lunesta. Sleep like a baby! An addicted, sleepwalking, aggressive, agitated, hallucinating, confused, suicidal, dizzy, headachy and somewhat drowsy baby!”

Consider yourself notified

It is very educational to read the information on packages. I bought a package of hickory chips recently to smoke some meat on the grill. There’s a California-required warning on the package that “Burning this product may result in the emission of combustion by-products…”

FACEBOOK OF THE LIVING DEAD

George Romero’s Diary of the Living Dead is on Cinemax tonight, and I’m thinking, George, baby, get with the DECADE! Watch for his next movie, George Romero’s FACEBOOK of the Living Dead. Remember, you saw it here first.
