    From the preface of the book Information Wars by Richard Stengel: "In 2010, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said we create as much information every two days -- about five exabytes -- as all the information created from the dawn of civilization until 2003."

    Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

          DID THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA SHIT HIS PANTS IN A MCDONALD’S?

          The answer to the following question implies a great deal about one's own psychology: Would you prefer to live in a world in which the answer to the above question is yes, or no?

          Education is extremely important.

                No. Plaque is on your teeth. There might be a coprolite in a while though.

                          Last Friday I bought some stuff at a convenience store/Shell station on Hatteras Island for $30.80.

                          Today I was checking the VISA account and there were 2 charges for $30.80, one on Friday and one on Sunday.

                          I called VISA to report a duplicate charge.

                          I did buy fuel on Sunday, but I figured there was no way it was exactly $30.80 worth of fuel.

                          I had a receipt from Friday but not Sunday because the fuel pump printer was broken.

                          After reporting the duplicate to VISA I remembered that I had taken a picture of the pump because someone had put a Biden sticker on it.

                          Now I am waiting on hold to tell VISA to forget about the dispute.

                          So Mr. Biden saved the Blue Whale convenience store from the hassle of disputing the dispute.

                              @mark Something to think about when you can't sleep.

                              How is such a thing even able to be calculated?

                              What if they're off by say 50 trillion years. Do we need to worry?

                                There is hope:

                                The universe could possibly avoid eternal heat death through random quantum tunneling and quantum fluctuations, given the non-zero probability of producing a new Big Bang in roughly 10^10^10^56 years
