“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

An irrational day

So I woke up this morning to discover that Prof. Stephen Hawking is now on his way off to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky: Physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. Hawking’s children Lucy, Robert and Tim issued a statement on Wednesday, March 14th, in...

Save Our Sexts

This story about the travails faced by a billionaire father of supermodels serves as a rather stark warning to all of us about the importance of saving EVERY digital interaction with a woman: Billionaire Mohamed Hadid is fighting back in court against a...

So where is the happiness?

Remember that charmingly acerbic young Teutonic lady with the cute accent (and a really silly handle – though that is probably a good example of kettleitis) who dumped a whole lot of wasabi straight into people’s shorts last year, when she...

Stories like this one serve to reinforce the eternal truth that the only thing worse than an aging harlot, is an aging harlot who wants to tell everyone how many pricks she has taken: During her interview, Pamela revealed that she had kept in contact with Vladimir...

When white elephants fly

It is time to switch gears somewhat today and take a look at a really big plane. No, I have not gone mad. (Well, no more so than usual, I suppose.) I bring this up because the European-made, European-built superjumbo is, in my opinion, going to go down in history as a...

Lawyered

This, right here, is why everyone hates lawyers: Longtime TOP GEAR fans know exactly what spawned this clip, by the way. Back in the day, Jezza & Co. gave the Tesla Model S Roadster a rather poor review – if you look hard enough you can find that...

“… and the men lost reason and faith”

Peter Hitchens of the Daily Mail – one of the few columnists for that rag that has his head screwed on right, most of the time, and brother of the late irrational atheist Christopher – had some rather choice words for the #MeToo harpies back in...

Priorities

This golden retriever could teach us all a thing or two about getting them straight: I have to say, I’m impressed. And it’s not just because I have a great personal fondness for big fluffy dogs in general, and golden retrievers in particular. That dog is...
