More Linky Links

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. Think this is a job a simple calculator could do better - just publish the raw inputs.

- From the archives: Life advice from Peter Josef Safar.

- Turns out space is big business.

- Former NYT director: paper is "digging it's own grave." They have no shame. 

Laws for the Navigation of Life

Peter Josef Safar, the inventor of CPR, lived an interesting life. His friends compiled Peter's "laws for the navigation of life" which are worth adopting.

One of my favorites was "the faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live!"

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

How ironic would it be if Jeffrey Epstein was actually murdered by Harry Reid because Epstein had proof that Reid really was a pedophile... I would love to watch a show or listen to a podcast where a Dalek (from Doctor Who) asks scientists and writers questions in his Dalek voice. That would be awesome!... Old time baseball... The name Manhattan started out as Manahatchtaniek which is Lenape Indian for "the island where we all became intoxicated" after the Indians were made totally drunk by the Dutch... And speaking of Manhattan - can someone remind me what the point or goals of the Occupy Movement were? Seriously - what was the f*cking point?... If you watch porn backwards - it tells the story of a woman who gives her man sex so he will clean the pool, hook up the cable or deliver some pizzas...  Laws for the Navigation of Life. These are phenomenal. Peter Josef Safar was a remarkable man... I'm surprised nobody has come out with a Tickle-Me Michael Jackson Doll. That would be one of the great gag gifts of all-time...
