Dream Shower

What a cool shower! It must be nice to have money, not to mention someone to shower with. I have to make do with one showerhead that barely pisses water.

Christopher Hitchens on the Afterlife
Mar. 14th, 2012 04:50 pmThere was no “tunnel,” and no vividly bright light that I moved toward, and whatever euphoria I experienced was as transient as the buzz from polishing off a few bottles of wine with dear Martin in the cafés of Monmartre. Yes, there appeared to be a passageway leading to something a bit brighter than the total darkness that I expected, but I experienced this for what it was: a well-known epiphenomenon of oxygen depletion in the dying retina.
-- Christopher Hitchens, as told to Art Levine at The Washington Monthly
A little something to remind us of Hitch. I'm not sure that this wasn't actually written by Hitchens, not from the afterlife, to be sure, but done before his hyperactive brain was finally stilled. People in the comments section derided Levine for falling short of the mark, but I thought it felt like Hitch's voice, perhaps minus a little of the volcanic flair of the colorful writer, though he might not have been at his best during the last weeks of his cancer-eaten life.

Happy Birthday, Einstein

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
-- Albert Einstein
It's Einstein's birthday, born March 14, 1879. I am a little surprised to pick up the news at Tumblr, but I guess Einstein is no longer as big as Elvis for the mainstream news to still cover it every year.
