Meandering

If 'Two wrongs don't make a right', then what don't ten wrongs make?

If a politician lies in the forest and no one is around to hear it, is he still a douche?

According to statistics, there is a 60% probability that this sentence is true, but only 2% of all statisticians will think so; this comes with a p value of 0.06, of course.

Pablo Picasso did not become wealthy through his paintings, but through shrewd investments in surreal estate.

If Einstein was so smart, how come he always misspelled emcee?

What kind of sick bastard teaches kids to sing,'Tom Dooley'? It was the first song I learned when I took guitar lessons, at age 7 (in a masterpiece of irony, 'Kumbaya' was the second).

  3. I could never understand the Old Grandfather Clock (not so sure about that title) song.

    "And it stopped---short, never to go again, when the old man died." Lovely children's song.

    But then again, In a surreal twist, always spelled douche "MC."

  4. dbs: Nothing like a good old fashioned, grisly knife murder as the basis for teaching music to kids, is there?

    raisingmarsh: thanks to you as well. I'll probably never fully reform.

    Nicole: I always liked that My Grandfather's Clock song. Another interesting kiddie song.
