You cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Complete Quote:
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Going along with this silly analogy, if we were good eggs living in a community of eggs and worked to become aquainted with a few other good eggs, I think we would do just fine.

I like this one a lot.  The egg one was ok, but this one made me laugh!

Today 09262022  we attack an asteroid, trying to move it out of Earth's path:



As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder.

Short for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, the DART mission is the first test of kinetic impactor technology as a means of deflecting asteroids that could be headed towards Earth. Although Didymos means no harm to our planet, the epic crash could one day protect our planet from an Earth-bound asteroid. A lot is resting on this astronomical encounter, and here’s how you can watch the action live.

The DART spacecraft is scheduled to impact its target asteroid on Monday at 7:14 p.m. ET. NASA will live stream the event at the space agency’s YouTube channel, the NASA app, and the agency’s website. Or you can stay right here and tune into the NASA broadcast through the feed below.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

This is so funny, now I will think of this when I am on a plane, in an elevator....OH NO!    LOL

Yup. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

I believe this is attributed to Abraham Lincoln and it's in the Bible; sort of loosely worded.
