Galaxy has 'billions of Earths'

Galaxy has 'billions of Earths' is the article title. It's just numbers.

"Recent work at Edinburgh University tried to quantify
how many intelligent civilisations might be out there.
The research suggested there could be thousands of them."

That's the last sentence in the article. I wonder if we're counting us among the intelligent civilisations.

DLW is waiting for a 4 p.m. phone call. It'll be short. Soon, I'll be doing something else.

Finger slicing poem

The finger slicing was last night at dinner. The poem is fresh this morning.


Hot, fresh and ready,
rotisserie chicken,
plastic container,
finger slicer.
Damn.
Ouch.

I just finished writing a brand new classified ad for a brand new customer. Yaay. http://ping.fm/e9JTU

Will there be a Day of Judgement?

From one of my horoscopes today.

Will there be a Day of Judgement? I love the way people ask this. What do they think every day that they have ever lived through has been? What, exactly, is it that human beings do besides judge each other? We judge the past according to the standards of the present. We judge the people around us by the moral codes we have been taught to uphold. Will there ever be a 'day of non-judgement'? Now, that really would be a great day for the Earth. Maybe you can help us all get to the golden tomorrow. Be less judgemental today.
