Actually, so is LJ. She and I have been friends for many years. She really is a great gal.

She is a Heinlein fan? :faint:

You have to google Heinlein? Not my fault.

If you are interested, I can lend you "Stranger in a Strange land". I think you might like it.

"The novel has never been out of print. Eventually Stranger in a Strange Land became a cult classic, attracting many readers who would not ordinarily read a work of science fiction. The late-1960s counterculture, popularized by the hippie movement, was influenced by its themes of individual liberty, self-responsibility, sexual freedom, and the influence of organized religion on human culture and government, and adopted the book as something of a manifesto.[citation needed]

In 1968, Tim Zell (now Oberon Zell-Ravenheart) and others formed a neo-pagan religious organization called the Church of All Worlds, modeled after the religion founded by the primary characters in the novel."

I didn't say it was your fault. I was simply stating you know more than I do :thumbsup:

I am up for reading it.

Yea, right. I have how many patents. Oh, I remember now, zero. That is something else you might like about him. His books show a huge respect for anyone who speaks the language of mathematics.

I believe, among others, that is reflected in his book that Science Chick is currently reading.

I will look for Stranger tomorrow.

I have a book called zero you are welcome to read. They features it on NPR a while back. It is on the origins of 0.

I will need to read the dust jacket. I thought Zero was invented by people born with no fingers.

Can you say tangent.

Did i get skipped over did no one find my post funny/ironic? I'll sit down and stop waving my arms...

Shades of Slick Willy all over again (pun intended)... Got caught red handed? Deny. deny, deny! I guess a photo of Representative Weiner's... uh, er... "package" (you thought I was gonna say wiener, cheeky monkey!) are not evidence because the Representative claims his Twitter account was hacked? I wonder if the Representative's staff have tried to buy the audit trails and back up tapes from Twitter yet. Sticky business that, once something gets posted to the Internet it's very difficult to make it disappear.

No matter what your political leanings, doesn't it seem inappropriate to be sending unsolicited photos of your naughty bits (wearing underwear according to Fox news anyhow, but we all know that's a right wing extremist organization so don't you believe it ;^> ) to your constituents? I'm old and I'll openly confess that I think too many people put way too much personal information out via social media; I want to believe that a politician would realize something like sending an unsolicited photo of yourself in your skives is a bad idea. What possible good could come of it?

I can deal with being ignored (my ex-wife made me an expert!).
