Pieces of Eight
Random Observations.
1. Some scientists cannot believe in God but do believe in something that they cannot demonstrate called "dark matter" that occupies, they say, most of the universe.
2. Douglas Hofstadter, author of Godel, Escher, Bach and most recently I Am a Strange Loop, speculates that the essence of another loved one can be imported in your own brain so that their soul's essence persists in your mind after their death.
3. I don't think Geroge Bush is in a bubble. It's more like a blister-pack clamshell-- those hard-to-open plastic packages that fossilize products to prevent people from stealing them.
4. Nancy Cunard (1896-1965), heir to the Cunard shipping fortune, grew up in a home bigger than the New York Public Library and died destitute after an extended alcoholic binge in Paris.
