Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Free DVD

I needed break­fast cereal for this week, so Donna sent me off to pick out a box while she shopped in the fresh veg­gie area. This is a favored strat­egy of hers because she knows it can take 10 min­utes for me to select a cereal. I mainly eat 2 dif­fer­ent kinds, Peanut But­ter Cap­tain Crunch or Frosted Mini Wheats, but I like to look at all of them and see if there is some­thing new out or per­haps there is a good free give­away asso­ci­ated with a kind of cereal.Today I found on boxes of Oat­meal Crisp w/Raisins an offer of a free DVD. I was hooked. The box men­tioned 4 TV shows that would be on the DVD, King of Queens, Bar­ney Miller, Mad About You and the Donna Reed Show. I didn’t read the fine print, each DVD was a par­tic­u­lar show, Col­lect All 4! I got one that had a sin­gle Mad About You episode. That’s OK, I liked that show. Donna and I watched it with lunch. They chose to include the episode enti­tled, “Com­ing Home” about the day Paul and Jamie bring home their new baby girl, Mabel and both of us were dis­ap­pointed. That is about the time we stopped watch­ing the show, both of us thought is was best when about just a cou­ple and their lives, we felt that the baby thing was just a stunt to prop up the show for another year. Oh well.
