Some of the world’s top scientists say automobiles should be classified as living beings -- and that they also have “minds” and possibly even “souls."
In his terrific book, “The Physics of Immortality,” Tulane University physics professor Dr. Frank Tipler says cars must be considered living entities because:

Well, we're all waiting fo spring, but instead we get a cold slap in the face from Mother Nature. The snow is deep, the wind is cold, and spring is on hold.
It really sucks, man, and when I say, "It really sucks," I am displaying the proper attitude for coping with the winter blues.
A lot of people might think -- "Wow, dude, you have a negative attitude!"

Getting trapped by infinity can happen to anyone at any time.
It can be a frightening situation, but if you remain calm, you'll see that there is a way to deal with it, and a way for you to find your way back.

I don't like to brag, but I am famous in some quarters for my fabulous grasp of basic logic.
Thus I have earned the nickname, "Dr. Logic." Today, the "doctor" is in to pass his judgment on key phrases we all have been using for years. Let's go.
“Easy come, easy go”
Dr. Logic says: This statement is clearly FALSE. Just take stray cats, for example. They come up easily to your doorstep, they charm you, you feed them, and they never go away. A cat is not ‘easy go.” They are ‘easy stay.’

Hey man, I'm shovel ready, are you?
I'm a "shovel ready" reporter! Now when my editor sends me an e-mail and asks me if I can check out this or that, I just zap her back and say: "I'm shovel ready to look into that!"
The term "shovel ready" has sprungeth forth from the the new economic stimulus package -- the term "shovel ready" may even turn out to be the greatest accomplishment of the whole shabang. I hope not, but at the very least, we got an excellent new buzz phrase out of the deal.

All suffering in life is inevitable. That's for sure
If you walk through life trying as hard as you can to avoid suffering, you'll only succeed part of the time.
Suffering will find you, no matter what.
It's the theory of a lot of people -- perhaps most the people I know in my life -- that one should try to find as much joy and happiness as one can, while doing our best to avoid as much suffering as one can.
But that's delusional thinking.

Well, hard-working scientists at the National Academy of Science are putting your tax dollars to good use -- they have discovered that when women look at beautiful works of art, they use their whole brain, while men use only half their brain, the right half.
It doesn't have to be just art -- it can be anything beautiful, such as a flower, a sunset, or Angelina Jolie.
What should we make of this? Well, now I suppose when a husband tells his wife that she is beautiful, she must take into account that he is using only half his brain to make this judgement.

Today I will attend a "Lunch with the Governor" event in Baxter. As a journalist, I hope to ask a number of pointed questions. I've been thinking about what I should ask The Guv, and here is my list. What do you think?
1. Governor, if you were looking at a yellow rose through a green-colored glass, what color would it appear to be?
2. Would you ever consider hiring an army of undead zombies to replace all state workers as a way to save costs?
3. Should you appoint a robot to fill our vacant U.S. Senate seat while Al and Norm fight it out?

Yo:
Today in the national news is a gruesome story about a man in Buffalo, NY, who cut off his wife's head.
Here are the basic details:
Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her death to police Thursday.
Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.

Yo, this blogsite still has a pulse, thanks to our wise, tough-as-nails administrator. She's an iron fist sheethed in a luxurious velvet glove.
Speaking of marvelous people, here are few I have met and interviewed during the past busy week, or so, in the local world of newspaper reporting:
• Cindy Bussian -- the charming owner of the charming Long Pine store, half-way between Pine River and Longville on Highway 84. (See the story on www.pineandlakes.com today)
