Thoughts for the day

If suicide isn't a selfish act, how come people who jump under trains tend to do it during rush hour when it'll screw up the day for thousands of other people?

Have you ever noticed how much John Willams' Superman theme owes to Aaron Copelands' Fanfare for the Common Man?

If you play Lucretia, My Reflection by the Sisters of Mercy at 1.4x speed, it stops being a morbid dirge and becomes quite a fun dance track. However, if you play This Corrosion by the same band at the same speed multiple, it sounds like Pinky & Perky singing it.

Aneurin Bevan, when he founded the NHS in 1946, predicted that as time went by the NHS would make the populace of the UK healthier and so the cost of running the service would decrease. More than 50 years later, we're still waiting.
