  2. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has tackled the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season.
     
    [ἵππος δραμών, κύων ἰχνεύσας, μέλισσα μέλι ποιήσασα, ἄνθρωπος δ̓ εὖ ποιήσας οὐκ ἐπιβοᾶται, ἀλλὰ μεταβαίνει ἐφ̓ ἕτερον, ὡς ἄμπελος ἐπὶ τὸ πάλιν ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ τὸν βότρυν ἐνεγκεῖν.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 5, ch. 6 (5.6) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]

  3. Re: the crash of the Delta plane at Toronto Pearson today...

    In the safety briefing, they tell you that in the event that you need to evacuate the plane, you DO NOT STOP to get your carry-on luggage or anything else. You just go.

    And my partner just saw video from the crash, with some asshole coming out of the plane dragging a gigantic suitcase.

    The plane was upside-down, with wings broken off, and on fire. This was pretty much the textbook definition of "emergency evacuation".

    Hey, jerk, what if you slowing everything down to grab your oh-so-important suitcase resulted in people behind you burning to death?

    Can we find that guy, and charge him with something serious? "I'm too important to leave my carry-on behind, I don't care if it puts others at risk" is NOT OKAY.

  4. What if Mayor Chow took Justin's $471M and used it all to buy really nice tents…

    After all, when we invade foreign countries, we don't wait for bylaws to change, we build sufficient lodging replete with sanitation, cooking and medical stations WITHIN HOURS OF ARRIVING.

    Oh, never mind. I'll shut up now. #dontmindme #badmoodmaybe #carryon

  6. Who doesn’t like the sight of tight buns? Really, viewers of UK’s Channel Four shouldn’t be surprised at talk of beavers, buns and balls. It’s not the BBC. Anyway, have they never watched a Carry On film?
