Sometimes...
... all you can do is look and wonder.

Who recently said...
"After seven years at No 10, I believe that government retains a great power for good, and that politicians are as impressive, and ethical, as their counterparts anywhere else. The danger is not from hubris, but that governments will believe the myth that they are condemned to mistrust and powerlessness."

Scientists...
... acres of the buggers and all engaged with the question what they would teach the world about science and why, if they could pick just one thing. Amazing. Truly jaw-dropping. Utter bollox in one or two cases but generally a treat.
There's even video.
Which is why I think I fell in love with Lisa Saksida . As she practices yoga (in Quicktime hi-res)and explains that there is no mind/brain duality. Must be the candles....
OK, so there are better ways to spend a windswept Wednesday. But hey, it's einstein year .... and besides some of my bestest friends are scientists.

A Yossarian moment.
"When we were coming home from Iraq, before we boarded the most beautiful airplane I have ever been on in my life, we received a briefing from an Air Force sergeant. "Federal regulations prohibit you from carrying certain dangerous items onto the aircraft. You may not transport knives or other cutting instruments, firearms, or explosives. Of course, this does not include your assault rifles, pistols, or bayonets." I stood and watched while a kid who was carrying an M-249 squad automatic weapon (a light machine gun) and a 9mm pistol put his pocketknife in a sharpes box. Let's think about this for a minute."
