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’.

Dentist Office Music

Today was our semi-annual den­tal clean­ing and I lit­er­ally fell asleep in the chair. Because we are reg­u­lar cus­tomers the plaque that does need remov­ing usu­ally comes off with lit­tle effort and with the light touch of the hygien­ist it is quite pain­less. Add in some of that infa­mous den­tist office music and I think I caught a cou­ple winks while reclined this afternoon.

The music was almost retro den­tist office stuff, mostly 60’s & 70’s no vocal jazz and show tunes. When I asked if it was Musak™, the answer came back that it was satel­lite. The sta­tion is called Escape (which seems cru­elly apt for a den­tist office) and with the 3 months trial of XM that came with the Sonata we could, if we wanted to, lis­ten to this very same sleep induc­ing sta­tion while dri­ving around.

But prob­a­bly won’t.
