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’.

My 2¢

We filled up the Miata tonight and with the sticky pump han­dle trig­ger and the over $3 a gal­lon price, I missed get­ting it stopped on the even dol­lar by two cents. And I was too far away to make the cents match the dol­lar, so I just left it there at $35.02.

When I fig­ured out the mileage for the Miata on this fill up it came to 28.35 MPG, not bad for an old Emperor.

Enter­ing the debit amount into the Money check reg­is­ter I noticed that when I filled up the Sonata last it came to $40.02.

Maybe I’ll just start aim­ing for that two cents over at each fill up from now on.

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