[Zarathustra]

Some of my favorite QUOTES: Pascal : The Heart as Reasons as well as the Head
Hamlet : What piece of work is a man
Kant: Out of the Crooked Timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made

and , of course, John Donne ( 1573 -1631 )
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part
of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory
were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or thine own were; any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and
therefore
never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.
From Devotions XVII Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Maxwell underappreciated? Not at chez Bigboote! (I prefer the integral versions of the Maxwell equations, personally.)

Maxwell underappreciated? Not at chez Bigboote! (I prefer the integral versions of the Maxwell equations, personally.)

For what his discoveries ultimately did to advance science and technology, he should be known at the public school level like Einstein, Newton or at least Faraday. But until upper level college physics, crickets. Pet peeve of mine.

glad you enjoyed the thread so much. What is it called when someone subjects themselves to something they find so obnoxious when they can simply choose to ignore it?

 

[cwaduke]

Favorite Band "Weather Report" The first two incarnations with Miroslav Vitous and then Jaco Pastorius.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I used to have favorites in various categories. I can't do it anymore. Paralyzed by choices. Too many good things to pick just one.

caveat--I'm not married or in a relationship currently. I realize in some instances it really is better to pick just one.

 

[Bigpetunia]

Favorite UConn basketball player of all time:
Kelly Faris!
