The Best Name Ever
Ordinarily, I wouldn't be so juvenile as to talk about humorous names, but tonight, folks, we must make an exception for the best last name ever. I'm giggling like a schoolgirl just thinking about it. Are you ready for it? I don't think so. Sit down, and have some horse tranquilizer ready in case you get too hysterical. Don't know where to get those? Well, all you need to do is drive to the corner of 28th and 110th. There'll be a guy named Rico and...Sorry, got carried away. The name is....oh god I can't stop laughing...Feezor...Feezor-Buttes! Honestly, suck it up and either keep your name as Feezor or change it to Buttes. Because Prof. Buttes, while funny, isn't nearly as great as Prof. Feezor-Buttes.
Jirsa brought up an interesting philosophical question today: What problems are there with the concept of "immortality of the soul" -- whether that means reincarnation or going to heaven for you. For one, how are new souls created? And do rapists and murderers get reincarnated? If not, then why are they still around? Perhaps they're a product of the system. Do we ascend to higher or lower forms of life, depending on if we've been good, like the karma of Buddhists? Well, personally I'm not really sure there is a tangible thing called the soul, and we'd have to get into issues of what it means to be conscious. Do you really want to do that, reader? I didn't think so. Just know that I am an atheist, but I still respect your views -- all I ask is for you to respect my views. Oh, and don't tell me I'm going to hell. That doesn't really help any. What happened to "judge not, lest ye be judged" by the way?
Interesting item: Jon Stewart went on "Crossfire" on CNN and just beat the snot out of the two hosts, accusing them of committing "partisan hackery" and distracting people from the real issues, also accusing them of hurting America. According to Stewart, they're squandering an opportunity for "real, honest debate" and getting caught up in mudslinging and being juvenile. The hosts refused to seriously discuss his accusations, saying "I thought you were going to be funny." It's on http://www.ifilm.com if you want to find it there -- under ifilm plus and short films.
On a more serious note, my Grandpa is in the hospital with an infection in his leg. He's doing fine, apart from the leg, and they're treating it with intravenous antibiotics. Hopefully he'll be fully recovered in a few days.
