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’.

Saw this sign near the ball­park in down­town Greenville on Saturday.

Started up, went down, back up, still up.

    I think all states should adopt a $5000.00 lit­ter­ing fine for INTENDED lit­ter­ing. If it goes to court, a lawyer would be smart to have and it would likely still cost $5000.00 to win the case. Maybe then, peo­ple would take lit­ter­ing seri­ously. Could be a bet­ter cash cow than speed­ing violations.

    “INTENDED” — like toss­ing your cig­a­rette butt out the win­dow because you don’t want to dirty up the ashtray.

    EXACTLY. A thrown cig­a­rette could get caught in the tur­bu­lence and end up in your con­vert­ible. Other things thrown out the win­dow are also an expen­sive and dan­ger­ous prob­lem. Who has not swerved to miss some­thing on the highway?
