If it had other characteristics, that I do not wish to enumerate here, that action might have been justified. Generally there is no profit, in such behaviour. Some media allows adjustment in it's rate of consumption - speed reading or higher-speed playback ( not yet offered on the boob-tube interface). If an accurate judgement is desirable, however, you usually just have to bear with it. I took notes, as this made recall of the contents easier, in reflection.
Brilliance was not required, nor was the word blunder accurately employed. Perhaps he just liked the Buh Buh sound. Catchy.
You'll have to think about this yourself, but you might start with basics, like: rocks (small, large, hot, sharp, meteor or planetary-sized - don't get me started): water (in all forms): ignition, combustion and the dispersal/radiation of energy in general: the origins of life: the environment: pretty much all of non-intelligently controlled events and an amazingly large percentage of the controlled ones.
Not just penicillin, anyways.
Please be a little more objective when approaching an analogy.
I'd hoped that someone out there might benefit from this image, as it is an apt parallel of much current pop activity.
Toby was this dog's name (as I recall). His owner picked him from the litter of farm dogs, because, when let into the house, he was the only one to find itself a comfortable spot in front of the fireplace; letting the rest ingratiate themselves to their prospective owners.
To amuse himself (this was still in the days when dogs were considered to be trustworthy enough to mind their ways, and their owners were not tied to their desks or couches) he could pick up any object and convince most dogs in the neighbourhood to chase him for 'the prize'.
When he tired of it, he'd just let the object go and the chase would dissolve. Non of the persuers could remember what they were after for more than a few minutes after the object became free for all. He could then pick up another object and the chase was on.
No comment.
