STOP EATING YOUR HAIR RIGHT NOW

You'll thank me later.

I'm not sure either

I'm a Carolyn Kizer fan: Except when she talks about her masturbatory traveling (which, to be fair, is pretty often) her stuff is to the point and not so esoteric that it takes a degree in English and rote memorization of Shakespeare to get all the allusions. For example:

"Election Day, 1984"

Did you ever see someone coldcock a blind nun?
Well, I did. Two helpful idiots
Steered her across the tarmac to her plane
And led her smack into the wing.
She deplaned with two black eyes & a crooked wimple,
Bruised proof that the distinction is not simple
Between ineptitude and evil.
Today, with the President's red button playing
Such a prominent role,
Though I can't vote for it, I wonder
If evil could be safer, on the whole.

--Carolyn Kizer

Quantum physics, meet scientific arrogance

From Australian news: We may have expedited the impending doom of the universe by trying to measure dark matter? "Incredible as it seems, our detection of the dark energy may have reduced the life expectancy of the universe," said Mr Krauss. We may have snatched away the possibility of long-term survival for our universe and made it more likely it will decay."

You know what, I really don't think so. I've seen the little experiment with the light going through the holes differently depending on whether it's being measured or not, but man, I'd be surprised if our universe was so fragile that we could screw something up just by trying to look at or measure it.

We're just so bad at saying we really have no idea.
