The March 13 that's showing up is the date of my post.  Yours shows up as being posted today.

And no, I don't believe Newhart is on Archive -- but he never had a radio show to the best of my knowledge.  Stan Freberg did, of course.

Hmmm, I probably shouldn't have had that last glass of wine...

I think that is the "law of averages" ... the particles at the periphery are moving faster ... so if you block the center out, then your sense of average speed should go up.

Really? That's interesting.

People don't "think" thru statistics, most of the time.  We deal with multiple things simultaneously by intuition, by heuristic.  Which is why multi-tasking is dangerous in a medical environment.  Until calculators and computers, actually doing statistics was tedious and boring.

Well, Baruch has some "interesting" ideas about the universe.  He is limited due to his religious thoughts, so you have to forgive him a bit.

The example at hand, was science, not theology.  Unless you want to make a different explanation for the optical illusion.

What the hell was a possum doing in that pumpkin!? I'd say it was maybe the wrong place, wrong time...:-)

I googled ... opossums like to eat pumpkins.  So maybe he had gotten inside, by eating thru the bottom (hidden from view).  The opossum riding on the back of the alligator could have two origins ... one ... baby possums ride on the back of their mother ... two ... an inversion of the old scorpion vs the frog ...

"A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both."

Seems a parable for American politics.
