Day: May 20, 2005

  • Fuck sex.  An hour of brilliant conversation with a beautiful woman is so, so much better than an hour of unrelenting passion, endless kisses, and pleasure juices sucked up as fast as they’re emitted (with the same woman).  Ah…but both….?  Can one have both?


     


    Here’s a just and fitting punishment for Newsweek magazine’s indiscretion in publishing a incredible, sourceless story (since retracted) about American troops desecrating the Koran by flushing it down the toilet:  Force them to change their name to Weaknews.   Oh.  And maybe force them to print their publication on toilet paper for a year.   So that we can subject it to the same purported Koran treatment that they appear to have invented.


     


    If you had to suffer and live through it, what would be your preferred cataclysm?


     


    A maga-tsunami (such as that launchable by the eventual catastrophic collapse into the Atlantic Ocean of the mountain called Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma, Canary Islands) ?  Would take out the whole East Coast up to 20 miles inland.


     


    A super-volcano (such as that underlying Yellowstone National Park—which already is 40,000 years overdue)?  Would take out the Western US and could lead to a worldwide nuclear winter.


     


    An asteroid impact (such as the near earth object called 2004 MN4 which is now almost surely likely not to impact on its next closest pass on April 13, 2029—although it will actually fly under the orbit of geosynchronous satellites. But can not now be reliably predicted not to impact upon a great many Aprils in immediate years thereafter since its intimate first pass by the Earth will deflect its future orbit—due to gravity—in a not now entirely predictable manner.  Some suggest, the Earth could capture it for collision in 2030, 2031, 2032…who knows?).  Would take out a sizable region on Earth wherever it would strike.  Could cause a mega-tsunami if impacting in the ocean. Or could lead to nuclear winter by kicking up the earth.


     


    My preferred cataclysm would be having sex but not brilliant conversation with the aforementioned beautiful woman.  It would be hell.  But I guess I’d live through it.
