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’.

Things Are Looking Up

You know things are bad when even your wife com­ments on the sucky qual­ity of your recent blog posts. Today I started to feel a lit­tle more human, so things should get bet­ter around here, both health and post-wise…just not tonight.

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

    Lighten up Brain

    The only way to pull off a Sun­day after­noon ‘quickie’ with their 8-year old son in the apart­ment was to send him out on the bal­cony with a Pop­si­cle and tell him to report on all the neigh­bor­hood activities.

    He began his com­men­tary as his par­ents put their plan into operation:

    — ‘There’s a car being towed from the park­ing lot,’ he shouted.
    — ‘An ambu­lance just drove by!‘
    — ‘Looks like the Ander­sons have com­pany,’ he called out.
    — ‘Matt’s rid­ing a new bike!‘
    — ‘Looks like the Sanders are mov­ing!‘
    — ‘Jason is on his skate board!’

    After a few moments he announced, “The Coop­ers are hav­ing sex!”

    Star­tled, his mother and dad shot up in bed! Dad cau­tiously called out, ‘How do you know they are hav­ing sex?’

    Jimmy Cooper is stand­ing on his bal­cony with a Popsicle.”

  • Thanks for the joke, I like that one. Maybe tonight I’ll go stand on my back porch with a Pop­si­cle and see which of the neigh­bors are hav­ing sex…
