DID THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA SHIT HIS PANTS IN A MCDONALDβS?
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?
There's a plaque.
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.

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

Oh, thank you. That clears it all up nicely.

Yes, I've been thinking for quite a while that:
-
Over the long haul, darkness will triumph over light.
-
When we homo sapiens express philosophical/religious preference for "light," what we really desire is information/knowledge. We use "light" as a shorthand for "information" because we have evolved to primarily use sight (that depends on light) as our primary means of acquiring information. Had we evolved to use sonar to map out our surroundings, we would be waxing philosophy about "sound triumphing over silence" instead of "light triumphing over darkness." And even than, "silence" will win over the long haul.
