“What interests me as a novelist is not the malevolence of man—so what else is new?—but his looniness.” —Walker Percy
The planet arrogantly dubbed “Earth” by its dominant terrestrial species might more accurately be called “Sea”. Seven-tenths of its surface is ocean, yet it is barely understood. An American project will soon aim to rectify this, by monitoring the world's oceans using a network of permanent observatories. The wealth of data will be funnelled back and then made immediately available to all and sundry. Not everyone is happy with such open access http://econ.st/1F5Tbyq
hindmost
(hīnd'mōst')
also hind·er·most (hīn'dər-)adj.
Farthest to the rear; last.
"Nothing is so hideous as an obsolete fashion."
What's the record number of balls juggled at once? Earlier this year, a juggler named David Ferman managed to keep 10 balls going for 26 catches. He holds the official record so far, according to the Juggling Information Service Committee on Numbers Juggling (JISCON). Juggler Alex Barron kept 12 beanbags going for 14 catches. Barron and David Leahy hold the record for two-person ball-passing, managing to juggle 20 balls for 20 catches. But balls and beanbags aren't the only things that get juggled, or even the most interesting things. Jugglers learn to toss and catch clubs, rings, devil sticks, diabolos — pretty much anything that you can think of can be juggled. Today, juggling clubs all over the world are tossing sundry items into the air to celebrate World Juggling Day.
In a September 12, 1918 letter to his friend Arthur Greeves, Lewis
said that his book was, "mainly strung around the idea that I
mentioned to you before--that nature is wholly diabolical &
malevolent and that God, if he exists, is outside of and in
opposition to the cosmic arrangements."
Spirits in Bondage by Lewis, C. S.

謝謝KJ 轉寄一篇' 半個屁股"
我很快猜出是王文華的作品 (可是他的書 史丹佛的銀色子彈 似乎沒這故事)
果然網路上有n個複製品.....
這篇除了half-assed 之外
西方俗語魔鬼在細節中被歸為"郭語錄"中 真是妙
王的文章中的新航之一招
其餘至少20年前就為某公司所用
該航空公司還有許多"服務"妙招
包括我以前新加坡朋友自己說的
他們的制服最能讓年輕顧客養眼......
說真的 我們如何讓自己和相關的人都虛心學習
這是很困難的
我相信只要我們肯好好就近身的事物和書有反省和力行
一定有所得
