I'm reading a book called 1421 by Gavin Menzies...anyone read it? Is it crap or is there truth to it??
Is that the one where the Chinese discovered Las Vegas or where DaVinci shot John Lennon?
A world without writers, I think a lot of people would like that. Writers tend to be so damned . . . annoying.

1421 -- Is that the one with the Chinese city having been built on Boularderie Island?
I think it's been kinda debunked.

together they rode the range

There's a fair amount of wishful thinking about non-Western European greatness in history. Some of it is based on lots of real information; Joseph Needham comes to mind. And, after centuries of uncritical celebration of the brutal, savage success of Europeans, and later Americans, on the world stage, it's a natural corrective. But a lot of it's uncritical, to say the least...

My 10 yo wanted me to explain Einstein to her. I tried, and the more I tried, i found I couldn't, that one such as Einstein is one of the noble mysteries of the universe. There were better mathematicians, more deeply educated physicists. So he wrote four papers in 1905, accessible to high school students, which changed the world. Then he had an idea, and his friend Marcel Grossmann taught him math for a decade, and he changed the world again. I wound up saying, nobody knows about such things. But count yourself lucky to be of a race that throws up an Einstein from time to time...

It's worth noting that Einstein's 1905 papers, coming from without the establishment, from an author with no academic affiliation, were almost instantly embraced by the scientific community despite their extraordinary break with past physics. Those who continue to claim conspiracies such as the suppression of Nikola Tesla's work, or the unwonted dismissal of a favorite candidate for a universal theory, seems to me, haven't met the burden of proof, not even close...

Strike Watch: 90 Percent of SNL Staff Was Fired
Tonight's sold-out theatrical performance of Saturday Night Live at the Upright Comedy Brigade Theater should be emotional as most of the production staff has been cut from the show as a result of the ongoing WGA strike. From the NY Post:
In its first dramatic move since the beginning of the Writers Guild strike, NBC has fired ''nearly the entire production staff'' of its struggling, late-night staple, ''Saturday Night Live,'' sources told Page Six.
''One tipster told us, 'SNL' laid off all their staff until further notice. Their production staff, even long-term employees, were let go.'' Another source confirmed that ''90 percent of the 'SNL' staff was fired.''
Tesla was killed by Angelina Jolie because he threatened to expose AIPAC's ties to Grendel. She shoved him off this mortal coil.

Mach's Science of Mechanics is a direct application of Kant's critical style and was the book Einstein cited as sparking his imagination.
Well, the special theory of relativity, the general theory of relativity and the photoelectric effect are in daily use and confirmed to the limits of observation, as well or better than any scientific theory except possibly quantum electrodynamics. And Einstein's musing on quantum mechanics, among other things, contributed to the famous paper by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen that laid out the problem of entanglement, a key area of current research and still baffling philosophically.
Freud, on the other hand, hasn't stood the test of time. His Nobel Prize, appropriately, was for literature rather than medicine/physiology. Freud's legacy is more cultural and iterary than scientific; he doesn't approach Einstein.

Nigger is a pejorative term used to refer to dark-skinned people, mostly those of African ancestry. For centuries, it has held negative connotations, and in modern times it is considered a racial slur in most contexts. Modern colloquial uses include a synonym for "person" and an effort to "reclaim" the word for black people (see nigga), which remains a controversial topic.

Freud is one of my favorite fiction writers.
Dora? now there's a rip roaring yarn. I doubt his Nobel for Literature will stand the test of time, but bravo for the Npobel Committee for recognizing short stories and memoirs are just as deserving of recognition as novels and plays.
Earlier variants (such as neger or negar) derive from the Spanish/Portuguese word negro, meaning "black", and probably also the French nčgre, which has also been used pejoratively (but also positively as in Négritude), derived from negro (the ordinary French word for "black" being noir). Both negro and noir (and therefore also nčgre and nigger) ultimately come from nigrum, the accusative form of the Latin word niger, meaning "black".
In Colonial America, negars was used in 1619 by John Rolfe, describing slaves shipped to Virginia colony. Neger (sometimes spelled "neggar") also prevailed in northern New York under the Dutch and also in Philadelphia, in its Moravian and Pennsylvania Dutch communities. For example, the African Burial Ground in New York City was originally known as "Begraafplaats van de Neger" (Dutch phrase meaning "Cemetery of the negro" in English).
In the United States, the word nigger was not always considered derogatory, but was instead used by some as merely denotative of black skin, as it was in other parts of the English-speaking world. In nineteenth-century literature, there are many uses of the word nigger with no intended negative connotation. Charles Dickens, and Joseph Conrad (who published The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' in 1897) used the word without racist intent. Mark Twain often put the word into the mouths of his Southern characters, white and black, but did not use the word when speaking in his own voice in his autobiographical Life on the Mississippi.
In the United Kingdom and other parts of the English-speaking world, the word was often used to refer to people of Pakistani or Indian descent, or merely to darker-skinned foreigners in general; in his 1926 Modern English Usage, H. W. Fowler observed that when the word was applied to "others than full or partial negroes," it was "felt as an insult by the person described, & betrays in the speaker, if not deliberate insolence, at least a very arrogant inhumanity." The note was excised from later editions of the book.

The tasing thing scares the hell out of us. A guy was killed in Canada in a real mess that looks just like every other tasing we've seen: there is no restraint or control whatsoever accomplished by the taser. The tased party shrieks and leaps, possibly injuring the officers presuming to not control the situation. Later on they killed him in a pile-on with illegal moves such as driving a knee into the man's neck. We honestly think police departments are deliberately trying to normalize brutality. If you look at human interest stories every day there are several tasings that make no sense (children, elderly, innocent).

Honestly, we aren't cops but we've worked at a military checkpoint for several months, and when you want to restrain a problematic customer you do not -- not -- want him screaming and leaping around, as tased people will do. The taser does not restrain, it's a sadistic toy.
All he has to do, therefore, is to decide his course of conduct or duty on each occasion and persevere in it, unconcerned about the result.

Jackson Browne campaigns for Edwards
By AMY LORENTZEN
Associated Press Writer
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Jackson Browne says that Democrat John Edwards is the most progressive candidate with a chance at winning the White House, and that he would do the most for working-class Americans.
"It's a challenge to hook yourself up to what a politician says he's going to do, and see if he's going to do it," the singer-songwriter said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I think it's a really critical time in our country and our world, and I think that working people need a champion, and I think that John Edwards is that person."
Famous for hits including "Running on Empty" and "The Pretender," Browne will be joined by Grammy Award-winning colleague Bonnie Raitt next week at five of Edwards' campaign stops in Iowa.
The two are co-founders of Musicians United For Safe Energy, along with Graham Nash and John Hall. In 1979, the group played a series of "No-Nukes" concerts, drumming up activism to thwart the spread of nuclear power. The group now works through Nukefree.org and opposes a federal bailout of the nuclear energy industry.
Edwards frequently says he wants to expand safe, renewable fuels opportunities and would oppose the construction of more nuclear power plants.
Browne said he met Edwards a few months ago and was drawn to the former North Carolina senator's magnetic personality and populist views.
He said Edwards is "certainly the most progressive of the candidates that have a chance" at winning the presidency. He said that Edwards had the best solutions for the war Iraq, health care and nuclear power, and that he would faithfully represent working Americans

ProfWombat,
I like Jackson Browne in small doses as well. The Load Out is still listenable at most times. Running on Empty is also good most any time. Tender is the Night, Song for Adam, and a couple of others are also nice. Oddly enough my favorite Jackson Browne song is one he wrote but the version I much prefer is THESE DAYS by Tom Rush. (and Jackson Browne was in the Original Eagles, right?)
Well, we've certainly sparked a lively discussion here...
Without a gap between pun comments, though I fear it's ultimately terminal...
In the 1800s, as nigger began to acquire the pejorative connotation it holds today, the term "Colored" gained popularity as a kinder alternative to negro and associated terms. For example, abolitionists in Boston, Massachusetts posted warnings to "Colored People of Boston and vicinity." The name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reflects the preference for this term at the time of the NAACP's founding in 1909.
Southern dialect in many parts of the southern United States changes the pronunciation of "Negro" to "nigra" (used most famously by Lyndon B. Johnson, a proponent of civil rights). In North American English, the transition from negro > nigger represented a formerly widespread sound shift. In the early editions of his dictionary, Noah Webster suggested the new spellings of zeber for "zebra", as well as neger for "Negro".
Black became the preferred term in English in the late 1960s, and this continues to the present day. In the United States this has been displaced to some extent by African American, at least in politically correct usage; this resembles the term Afro-American that was in vogue in the early 1970s. Nevertheless, black continues in widespread use as a racial designation in the United States and is rarely regarded as offensive.
Today the word is often spelled nigga or niggah, in imitation of the manner in which some pronounce it. (Less-common variants are nigguh or even nikuh.) Other variations, designed to avoid the term itself, include nookah, nukka, nagger and the much older "jigger."

"Cracker", sometimes "white cracker", is a usually pejorative term for a white person, mainly used in the Southern United States, but in recent decades it has entered common usage throughout North America.
"Cracker" has also been used as a proud or jocular self-description. With the huge influx of new residents from the North, "cracker" is now used informally by some white residents of Florida and Georgia ("Florida cracker" or "Georgia cracker") to indicate that their family has lived there for many generations. However, the term "white cracker" is not always used self-referentially and remains a racist term to many in the region.

There are various theories concerning the origin of the term "cracker".
The term "cracker" was in use during Elizabethan times to describe braggarts. The original root of this is the Middle English word crack1 meaning "entertaining conversation" (One may be said to "crack" a joke); this term and the alternate spelling "craic" are still in use in Ireland and Scotland. It is documented in Shakespeare's King John (1595): "What cracker is this ... that deafes our ears / With this abundance of superfluous breath?"

By the 1760s, this term was in use by the English in the British North American colonies to refer to Scots-Irish settlers in the south. A letter to the Earl of Dartmouth reads: "I should explain to your Lordship what is meant by Crackers; a name they have got from being great boasters; they are a lawless set of rascalls on the frontiers of Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia, who often change their places of abode". A similar usage was that of Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species, to refer to "Virginia squatters" (illegal settlers) (p. 35).
Spaniards in Florida called them Quáqueros, a corruption of the English word Quaker, which the Spanish used to contemptuously refer to any Protestant.

ProfWombat, I was wrong again. The first single, "Take It Easy," was a song written by Glenn Frey and his neighbor and fellow country-folk rocker Jackson Browne. Frey heard Browne recording it, contributed two lines to it (for which he got co-writing credit) and asked if the Eagles could use it. Browne agreed and the song reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled the Eagles to stardom.

One theory holds that the word derives from "corncracker", a traditional slang name for poor white people from certain southern states. The 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, notes that "cracker" is a term of contempt for the "poor" or "mean whites," particularly of Georgia and Florida. Britannica notes that this usage of the term dates back to the American Revolution, and is derived from the "cracked corn" which formed their staple food

deel,
Got tell someone who gives a rat's ass

Other possible origins of the term "cracker" are linked to early Florida cattle herders (Florida crackers) that traditionally used whips to herd wild Spanish cattle. These cowboys were distinct from the Spanish vaqueros of Florida. The crack of the herders' whips could be heard for great distances when they were used to round cattle in pens and to keep the cows on a given track. Also, "cracker" has historically been used to refer to those engaged in the low paying job of cracking pecans and other nuts in Georgia and throughout the southeast U.S.
One theory claims that the term dates back to slavery in the antebellum South. The popular folk etymology is based on slaver foremen using bullwhips to discipline African and Afro-American slaves, and the sound the whip being described as 'cracking the whip'. The foremen who cracked these whips were thus known as 'crackers'.

From an Afro-American perpective this term may be metaphorical and probably relates to Afro-Americans' perceptions of Euro-Americans color being white and their manners and culture square and dry like a cracker. "Cracker" or "White Cracker" is widely used as a racial slur against White people, usually from "African Americans"..

The Florida Cracker Trail is a route which cuts across southern Florida, following the historic trail of the old cattle drives.
Frederick Law Olmsted, a prominent landscape architect from Connecticut, visited the South as a journalist in the 1850s and noted that some crackers "owned a good many Negroes, and were by no means so poor as their appearance indicated."
The October 27, 1863 Battle of Brown's Ferry, in the American Civil War, opened the so-called "Cracker Line".
Crackin' Good Snacks (a division of Winn Dixie, a Southern grocery chain) has sold crackers similar to Ritz crackers under the name "Georgia Crackers". They sometimes came in a red tin with a picture of The Crescent, an antebellum plantation house in Valdosta, Georgia.

Yes, they certainly are ...
Before the Milwaukee Braves baseball team moved to Atlanta, Georgia, the Atlanta minor league baseball team was known as the "Atlanta Crackers". The team existed under this name from 1901 until 1965. They were members of the Southern Association from their inception until 1961, and members of the International League from 1961 until they were moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1965. However, it is suggested the name was derived from players "cracking" the baseball bat and this origin makes sense when considering the Atlanta Negro League Baseball team was known as the "Atlanta Black Crackers".

And do something about that pus running from between your legs.
Everybody who eats anything at all, of course, is on a diet. Mine, sometimes, is based on the English pint as the proper measure of a single serving of ice cream, or, on rare and fortunate occasions, Kopp's custard...
I did my time in the hole

Not enough grease on the clamps.

Damn you NTodd - I had just finished forgetting Kelly Clarkson.

Extincto!
But why does his Ode to a Manolantern make my chest hair hurt?
He's been listening to too much TWeezer.
DWD: got it; when I can listen to it without waking folk up I'll let you know. Thanks so much...
pud - sniffs bicycle seats for a buzz
If the MOSFETs.....
Man, I think this silly conversation has gone on long enough.
hey pud, wiggle your ears, my thighs itch.
OTOH, now I'm remembering Catherine Keener, so it's a net plus.
oh, boy, high class trolling tonight-- I can just hear the influence of William F Buckley

Well, if the standard is writers like those who created "Casablanca" (which it could surely be for me), we've been without 'em for fifty years already.

nick carraway
I can hear the influence of Buckley's Cough Syrup.
nick carraway
wow - nick -did someone finally talk to you?
Damn you NTodd - I had just finished forgetting Kelly Clarkson.
[files idea for tomorrow's Paxcast]

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned oil prices could double if the US attacked Iran, as a key summit of oil exporters opened.
Mr Chavez told the summit of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) the price of crude could reach $150 or even $200 a barrel.
Is there a Zod in my killfile? I can't see while I'm wearing these spats.
I was hoping to talk politics tonight, but I guess it's pretty much the same old crap in here, huh?
OTOH, now I'm remembering Catherine Keener, so it's a net plus.
Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice-Davies.
You're the gals for me.
Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice-Davies.
I'll keep you company.
You can have your Marilyn, your Carolyn, you Jacqueline.
Grace Kelly never meant that much to me.
Just give me Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice-Davies.

Apropos of the electrical pun thread: How to charge your iPod using gatorade and an onion.

Those who do, do; those who don't, complain about everyone else.

Here. Let's try it again.
What fucking sadist....

Adverbs that modify verbs don't have "ly" endings ... IIRC, it's the ones that modify adjectives that do.
