"'Wise words, although written by my decaying hand, remain imperishable through time; Imbued with the medicine of immortality by the All-Master. Be unseen and undiscovered by all those who will come and go, wandering the wastelands of life. Be hidden, until an older heaven births human beings who are worthy of your wisdom.'" --last words of Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice-great Hermes)... Having sounded this prayer over the works of his hands, Hermes was received in the sanctuary of eternity. --excerpt of the Hermetica--

Providing a bit of context and the full text of the Gloria Steinem quote: “In short, we would discover, as we should already, that logic is in the eye of the logician. (For instance, here's an idea for theorists and logicians: if women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? I leave further improvisation up to you.)”

Go back to July 13, 2022, within this thread, for further context, if needed (or just for the fun of it). This should give impetus to a resurgence of such ministries in the U.S. at all levels of gov'ment.

Hi EJchap! I was wildcard @ '15 when we used to chat. I remember about Steven Wright and also Mark LaMura! And that you had a big band! 'Cellers are multi talented as well as mathy! And I was in grade 7 in 65-66 so Steven was probably 66-67. I liked him a lot as soon as he came on "the scene".

Ej, if you haven't seen them, check out Tuba Skinny at youtube and let me know what you think! I have posted them here but no one ever commented. We know it does take a certain musical intellect to appreciate the finest out of New Orleans. It might be a bit complex for some... Lol

In January 1931, Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin at the City of Lights premiere. Prior to this meeting, Einstein had once said that Charlie Chaplin was the only person that he wished to meet someday. At this meeting, Einstein said to Chaplin: “What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!”. “It’s true”, replied Chaplin. “But your fame is even greater: the world admires you, when nobody understands what you say."

Red Ruffing was another of those good-hitting pitchers we've talked about before. He hit something like .260 or .270, and had quite a few HRs, and maybe 250+ RBIs? Didn't know 'til now he was also a philosopher, but then quite a few ballplayers were.
