He considers a career change.
If a mermaid had sex, would she still be a maid?
Yes, but her salary would go down to the bottom of the ocean.
What would happen if everything stopped?
There would be a hellstorm of deferred momentum resumed all over the universe once it started again; the collisions would be cataclysmic.
What makes some people think anyone can write readable or listenable poetry?
Heh. I thought you were going to say: Yes, just because you boff the boss doesn't mean you don't still have to clean the toilet.Originally Posted by North Star

Why can't our children's children take care of their own damned environment?
Because we screwed it up.
Why do people talk about the good old days? Do they miss having to walk to school uphill in the rain?

Because either their lives are miserable or they narcissistically think the era when they were at the youthful height of their powers trumps all others...it's very sad.
Will the Nobel committee ever give its prize for literature to a white American male again, and, if so, whom?

The Nobel Prize for literature is a lifetime award. So, deserving candidates would definitely be Cormac McCarthy, Thomas Pynchon, Philip Roth, and Don DeLillo. However, none of them have much time left, so the Nobel people better move on it and stop awarding the Doris Lessings and Nadine Gordimers of the world.
I rarely feel guilt; so, I'm not sure. I do think, however, that many of us--including myself--are habitual procrastinators (like the Melancholy Dane), so we tend to put things off until we have no choice but to do them.

The key word is "due."
Should Return of the Jedi be retitled: Invasion of the Cute Cuddly Things?
Because the actual respect they have for their addressee is minimal, and their deceptive use of the phrase is meant to allay the insult.
Why do many people dismiss certain art works as "bad" without even formulating solid, consistent aesthetic standards supporting those dismissals?
Nah, the Jedi did return. Well, one anyway.
I think for those who don't make a study of art, appreciation is largely a gut reaction--"I like" vs. "I don't like". It becomes a problem when they assert their subjective opinion as objective fact.
