Monday Musings....

Here are some Monday musings from our half Aphorism Editor, "Zen" Cohen. Here is a photograph (you can click on to enlarge) of a tree that fell in the woods next to my office over the weekend:

No one was around to hear it fall. As you can see from the photo, it clearly hit another tree on the way down. Did it make a sound? If so, was it the same sound that is made by one hand clapping?

A judge once told me I was engaging in a "fishing expedition" with my discovery demand. I denied it, and invited him to search my briefcase for worms. Speaking of worms, we often hear about wormholes in space. Why don't we ever hear about the worms that made the holes? When did worms develop the capability to travel intergalacticlly? Are the worms on our planet aliens from other worlds? And why worms? Are there other kinds of holes in space (No! Not that one that beings with an "A" that some people have difficulty distinguishing from their elbows!) Are the worms any good for intergalactic fishing expeditions?

California called and left a message. Can you lend it $100 bucks or so to tide it over until it gets back on its feet? If not, it may have to resort to something extreme--like selling that stash of "medical" marijuana that its been growing in anticipation of some possible infirmity for which it might need it in the future. California may even have to legalize it in order to have something left to tax that isn't already the subject of a levy.

Is there a scientific argument for legalization? This newspaper that monitors Christian Science noted that the last three presidents admitted to using marijuana, and it didn't mess them up (too bad--depending on whether or not you talk to the opposition party, of course).

Verizon is going to roll out a new, bigger cell phone plan for calling all your friends and family on a your cell phone list--it's going to be called Cell Mates.

And for tonight, that's the last laugh.
