Miracles & Assorted Odds and Ends

TAGS: None

I’ve haven’t written much lately so here are so I’ll do a little catching up tonight.

I loved The Angels Retirement Speech, by Annie Farnsworth, which appeared on The Writer’s Alamanac.

... now they've got
their own miracles, like cell phones
and videos - who needs a visitation
when they've got their own apparitions
appearing and disappearing, all night
on Extended Basic Cable?
With advances like that,
a voice from heaven is not all that impressive,
nor the sight of winged creatures hovering
in a golden shaft of light.

Annie Farnsworth, Bodies of Water, Bodies of Light


Food for thought.

Who Would Jesus Torture?. I’ve got no answer to that question. Good time to re-read Sister Helen Prejeans essay “Would Jesus pull the switch?”


Very odd.

Walking on water — I still snort at the line in the article which said “Anyway, the pontoons are tethered to each other so the walker’s legs don’t spread apart and make him look like an idiot. Can’t have that happening can we?” There was a whole article in the NY Times covering this idea a while later.


Great random quote.

“In the future, everyone will be on the TSA’s no-fly list”, Coyote BlogMy Follow-up to Andy Warhol.


Oddly compelling art from nuclear weapons testing.


One more poetry link for good measure.

The rest of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.


And for the avid do-it-yourselfer in the audience …

Build your own computerized etch-a-sketch. Man I wish I had the free time to build one of these.
