"Who knows how to make love stay?
Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay.
Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning.”
~Tom Robbins

"It goes a little something like this. At the beginning of this sentence, the rest of the sentence was the future, but whilst that future was happening, it was becoming the past, so the past and future existed at the same time and completely negated not only the notion of future and past but also the notion of the present." -TILOM ....or possibly Einstien or Julius the hobo down at Albert Park.

^ If Einstein said it, it's gotta be true. At least I think it was him. It might've been Julius the hobo down at Albert Park.

^You win this round sir.... ^ If Einstein said it, it's gotta be true. I console myself that at least I can recognize genius when I see it.

^ Genius? Me or Einstein? Well, Einstein is considered the father of modern physics, that has to count for something. "...The water caresses the bottom of the windows like a skill sheath grasping tightly their grip on the plastic surface, suffocating it in a cacophony of deadly silence. .... when one fool steps outside, outside into that vast chasm of chill that scratches at the skin ... My icy breath caresses my lips and evanesces into the darkling void of the coldest winter’s night. I watch my breath dance briefly in the faint currents of the wind, twinkling in its illumination from the gleaming white marble in the sky. It fades into the air. It’s another icy reminder of the hell outside." - T-CAJ Though surely, this has to have some kind of potential. ... even if it was meant to be a massive feat of sarcasm

If they have found faster than light particles at CERN, everything Einstein said makes him as much of a genius as Sandra Bullock.
Yes, that passage was meant sarcastically. I use my other blog to try out various writing styles to see what works. I try hard at pointless endeavours.
If you liked it, I recommend the several novels that I've written that haven't been published.

If they have found faster than light particles at CERN, everything Einstein said makes him as much of a genius as Sandra Bullock. Awww, surely not everything, just the majority of modern physics, thats all. Anyway, there's still this: "Just days after Albert Einstein's theory that nothing moves faster than light was called into question by a startling neutrino experiment, the long-dead physicist might have come to his own rescue. Einstein's general theory of relativity contends that a slight difference in the force of gravity at two different places causes clocks in those places to tick at different rates. Carlo Contaldi, a theoretical physicist at Imperial College London, argues that when physicists recently measured neutrinos traveling at 1.000025 times light-speed between Switzerland and Italy, they didn't fully correct for this effect, and that failing to do so could have caused their shocking results." -Lifeslittlemysteries.com Personally though, I hope they did find faster than light particles.

True, I'll give you that.
As a sci-fi author, the implications of the findings, if proved to be true, make me drool:
Rules of special theory of relativity and causality blown wide open, time travel, new limitations, new psychics and a completely new theory of the evolution of the universe. And some kick-ass intellectual conceptual Hollywood flicks.
But if the rules are rewritten, those taught in school prior the discovery will be left as stupid as Sandra Bullock.

Why is Sandra Bullock getting such a hard time here? As creator of the Sandra Bullock Shrine, I am incredibly offended for the Goddess of Under-appreciated Sequels (Speed 2 wasn't that bad). Sandra quote: "When I first got on the Net, I could never get anyone to respond. And I'd feel like: 'Hello, Hello! Doesn't what I have to say matter to anyone out there?'" Only as much as Einstein. This is what Sandra said on the nature of time before scientists at CERN discovered light-speed breaking particles: "Does age matter? Time doesn't matter." Also, more Sandra wisdom: "I love raw cookie dough, right out of the tube. The other thing I eat is marshmallow fluff."
