Nobody Uses the Internet on Friday
Did you know that there is almost an infinite decrease in the amount of data transferred on the internet between Monday and Friday? Shocking isn’t it? I mean look at the numbers from two dates I chose at random for yourself.
Monday,September 27, 2010: 22 petafloppybits of transferred.
Friday, October 1, 1937: 0 petafloppybits of data transferred.
From 20 to 0. I know, it is completely unbelievable.
Do you want to know something else that is unbelievable? I watched the entire Google Pizza video. You know about the Google Pizza video, right?
What you have to do is look for the little links that appear in the video as he keeps repeating himself. the links take you to other videos of this guy doing some more stuff. It is insane. That poor actor. Here he is trying to find Pizza on his Android phone and when he finally gets to eat, he is handed a hot dog. Oh cruel cruel world. I see how it is.
Speaking of a cruel world, I think we often forget just how recent in our histories we got medicine. The handwritten journals of naval doctors reveal how ship’s doctors treated injuries and maladies aboard England’s ocean going vessels. A sailor gets ‘cured’ of drowning by having tobacco smoke blown into his lungs. Scurvy gets treated with sulfuric acid. And alcohol was the cause and cure of a lot of conditions aboard the ship. Sign me up! Some of the things I’d like to know is how do scorpions get aboard ships? Why is sulfuric acid on board? And why is all the rum gone?
There was a recent study on religion that found atheists and agnostics know more about religion than the believers do. Now don’t run away, I’ve already done my religious tirade. This time I’m trying to play nice. What we have here is a learning opportunity. America is a very religious nation. Americans pride themselves on their devotion to their religious beliefs. Seeing that Protestants don’t know who formed their belief structure and Catholics don’t realize that when they take communion the bread and wine actually transforms into the flesh and blood of Christ, we can start a dialog and begin to discuss the actual tenets of the different belief systems. Maybe then we can, as a nation, begin to realize that not only does the Bible say it is Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, but also tells men they can’t shave their faces, can’t eat lobster, can’t commit adultery! Stop coveting thy neighbor’s wife!
The world is a cruel place, that is for certain. Even toys are cruel.

Of course, just because the world is cruel doesn’t mean someone can’t make a good living from the cruelty.

“Why do you want a divorce, Mr. Smith?”
“She’s lost control!”
Sorry, that was the only Joy Division joke I could come up with on the spur of the moment. I was going to go with something about needing a New Order but that seemed too esoteric.
Goodbye, cruel world. Until next week, remember, it’s your Internet and you deserve it now!
