Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Sorry, not sorry but the world would be a much better place if it was Bill Gates who died of cancer all those years ago instead of Steve Jobs. A much better place... America made a great mistake by never electing Paul Newman as President. I know he never ran for the office but people should have demanded it and wrote him in on their ballots anyway. Joanne Woodward would have made an awesome First Lady as well... When Einstein graduated from our equivalent of high school - he finished second in his class. The name of the person who finished first is lost to history but I love the idea of some of his classmates saying, "Sure Albert was pretty smart but this other guy was a total genius"... In January of 1835 the US national debt was reduced to $0 for the first and only time in history (file this under "things which will never happen again")... Blows my mind that Jason Tatum already has more career 50-point games for the Boston Celtics than Larry Bird had... It was said, "Once the British Empire became world-wide, the sun never set upon its problems." The same can be said today of America... There's betting odds on where Tom Brady will play next year. The Raiders are the favorite at -$175 (you'd have to risk $175 to win $100). The Dolphins are +$250 meanwhile the Chiefs are +$3500 (because they already have some guy named Mahomes)... The list of people who were almost picked to play Doc Brown in Back to the Future before Christopher Llyod is pretty cool to dwell on… How soon before we start to see thoroughbreds created via CRISP? How fast will these horses be? How will this effect stud fees? Why pay big money for stud fees when CRISP may work better?... Justin Roiland has been "cancelled" from Rick and Morty because of allegations of domestic violence. My mid works differently than most but I think it would be hilarious if they replaced Roiland as the voices of both Rick and Morty with Louis CK. Imagine how many heads would explode?... Peter Thiel points out that the antonym to the word "diversity" is the word "university." Now I can stop thinking about the implications of that...
