Ping The Little Man Upon the Stairs

 

Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair where I sit:
There isn't any other stair
Quite like It.

I'm not at the least height,
I'm not at the most:
So this is the stair where I always post.

Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up, and isn't down.
It isn't on a motorbike,
It isn't in the town:

And all sorts of funny thoughts
Go running through my head,
Like bugging Don in Edmonton or who I'll flame instead.
--[mostly] A.A. Milne

SQ - "When I am grown to Man's Estate, I shall be very grand and great
And tell the other girls and boys: not to meddle with my toys!"
--Robert Louis Stevenson

 



If you lived here, like I do, under a blazing summer sun in a polluted
Tiajuanaville,
you wouldn't want to go motorbike riding very often, so you'd find
other amusements.

"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
"But you can be happy if you've a mind to" ---Roger Miller


I was reading Immanuel Kant's "Critic of Pure Reason" just a while
ago...

Manny says that, even if we can't logically prove the existence of an
insensible god who may or may not have created us, we should still
*behave* as if said god actually did exist, and be nice to each other.

But did he credit Pascal with the idea or was he just another plagiarist?
And did he show any justification for this ludicrous suggestion?

A much better proposition:
Even if you are sure that the world was created by God you should still behave
as if it weren't, lest you invalidate the experiment and are prematurely
terminated.

Ah, this must be the theology department...I was looking for the
drunken philosophers department. I'm searching for a use for a
chcolate covered man hole cover.
