Lost man

I wish Feynman would have been a Molecular Biophysicist.

Holy Week

Sorry, must be my holy week... but here's another one: Was just wondering who of the persons on which major religions are based would be least depressed seeing what mankind has made out of - and justified with - their original teachings. Jesus? Mohammed? Siddhārtha? My personal guess would be the latter.

To ben or not to ben

Oh and by the way (see previous posting), I just wonder how Jesus would feel like now, seeing that he, called Jeshua ben Josef (=Jeshua, son of Josef) will be remembered as Jesus, son of God. On top, he was born in year 1, meaning that he was one year younger as the Calendar that was created after him.

Jeshua not ben Josef

For people to believe that Jesus was God's son - rather than Josef's - there must have not been a significant resemblance between them. Thus, if we manage to find out how Jesus looked like, we would be able to say how Josef did not look like. I'm not sure if this insight would present a significant advance of science...

The Dark Ages

Medieval times are a synonym for warfare and torture. However this epoch is full of examples of multicultural, multi-ethnic communities living peacefully together, tolerating each other's religions. Today, wars and torture remain, whereas multicultural centers are hard to find. Where are the dark ages?

Multi-Me

I tried to imagine what a world would be like where every single human being has exactly my character. A painful exercise.

Mona Lisa Unnoticed

Been at the Louvre. The Mona Lisa is the most photographed but least watched of all famous paintings. When finally in front of that most enigmatic painting, most visitors turn their back to the lady, and smile for the camera. Others only visualise her through the little screen of their digital camera, and obstinently try to get a picture of her. Once that's done they don't bother looking at her, and bugger off, satisfied.

The Farts of Freedom

In our overcrowded yet sophisticated society, it would be good to have a special type of toilet music that allows to cover elegantly our unpolite cabinet sonorities. Needs a solid analysis, to determine a histogram of frequencies humans produce on the loo, to be matched with exisiting pieces of music, so to allow a maximum cover with minimum dezibels. I guess some brass-music dominated Wagnerish orchestra music, tribal drum-based chants, or thus spoke zarathustra orgue music could be suitable. Constipation is a modern problem that should not be understimated!

Farts of God

Saw a film about Kamikaze. A sad sad film. Kamikaze means "Wind of Gods". In reality, these young soldiers were rather "Farts of the vain Emperor", an arrogant and mad man, who just wouldn't want to admit that he had lost the war. They were useless farts of the Emperor, who abused of their loyalty, and they knew it when they boarded their old planes for their last flight.

Summernight Mares

Why do mosquitoes wait until you wake up, before they go buzzing about your ears, to wreck your nerves and your sleep, and then sting you - even though some of them might end up smashed against the wall? That's anti-Darwin! Mosquitoes should have evolved to bite you when you sleep, and fly silently to avoid alarming you. Yet they don't. I actually have noticed that when you use earplugs, then you don't get bitten any more! Which means mosquitoes are sadistic little creatures in a mission from hell. But aren't we all?
