(I might come around to The Awl after all … probs not — all of their articles assume you get your news elsewhere, which probably reads really great to a roomful of editors who mainline the AP newswire and by that I mean read Gawker sites. Fortunately for me, I happened to see this headline on the elevator news screen.)

The camera „Artificial Smile“ is an apparat, whose pictures show in principle only smiling people, irrespective of their former emotional state.

Captain Oveur: I can’t tell. 

Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor. 

Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure. 

Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess? 

Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours. 

Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours?

This painting is of a man who dies while trying to water a plant and so the plant dies.  It’s really sad.  You might think the only way to make it more powerful would be to have a picture of a Gatorade truck smashed into a tree before it could get to that guy’s home, but I feel like if we start getting like that about this, we’ll end up sitting here all day.

When I need to go to my happy place, I just think to myself:

Don’t be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, ‘A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.’ He was a funny guy.

If there is something better than listening to Jeff Foxworthy profess his disbelief at the idea of watching a television set that is resting on top of a non-working television set, as if somehow, in someone’s twisted, lower-class mind, the non-working television set had been deemed an acceptable unit of furniture – then I would love to know what that thing is.  Because when I hear that I just laugh and laugh and laugh and I think that if it’s true that the angels in heaven sing, then certainly they do so in the sweet sarcastic tone of Mr. Foxworthy himself.

My estranged wife contacted my family recently because she is worried about me, but there is nothing to worry about.  I smashed every phone in my house with a hammer and I’m getting so close to understanding everything!

You ever have three tacos, and think to yourself, “I am not sure if I can eat all three of these tacos because I’m not super hungry.”

And you are nervous because you can’t exactly save half a taco for later, but you start in on those tacos anyway hoping you can pull through, but with a certain dread in the back of your mind that you’re going to be left full, still staring at half a taco and you’ll just have to get in there and eat it, probably giving yourself a real bad stomach ache.

Then you finish all three tacos in surprisingly easy fashion and, in fact, you’re not even entirely full, like, maybe you could eat another whole taco if somebody approached you with another taco and said “I’ll give you $20 if you can finish this taco right here even though you just ate three tacos and they were pretty big tacos.” But who would ever do that sort of thing with tacos, I suppose.

Has that ever happened to you? Because it just happened to me.

MAJOR BRIGGS enters and sits at the counter, enjoys a cup of coffee, a little contemplation. The LOG LADY appears, sits beside him. Holding, patting her log. She eyes the medals arrayed on the Major’s uniform.

LOG LADY: You wear bright objects on your chest.

MAJOR BRIGGS: (unfazed) Yes. I do.

LOG LADY: Are you proud?

MAJOR BRIGGS: Achievement is its own reward. Pride obscures it. Cream?

Using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, particle physicists have succeeded in creating quark-gluon plasma, the temperature of which is 4 trillion degrees Celsius (about 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun). The plasma is believed to be the state the universe was in a microsecond after its creation.

The departure from normal physics manifested itself in the apparent ability of the briefly freed quarks to tell right from left. That breaks one of the fundamental laws of nature, known as parity, which requires that the laws of physics remain unchanged if we view nature in a mirror.

This happened in bubbles smaller than the nucleus of an atom, which lasted only a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second. But in these bubbles were “hints of profound physics,” in the words of Steven Vigdor, associate director for nuclear and particle physics at Brookhaven. Very similar symmetry-breaking bubbles, at an earlier period in the universe, are believed to have been responsible for breaking the balance between matter and its opposite antimatter and leaving the universe with a preponderance of matter.
