My appetite is back with a vengeance. ME WANT FOOD! And not even Snickers can satisfy me!

At the beginning of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, what was in place of the RST Video in the 1977 scene? I couldn't tell what it was because my eyesight and the font they used didn't get along.

More thoughts on Planiverse.

The Planiverse is on an amazon.com list of Ten Books to Change the Way You See the World. It also contains The Design of Everyday Things, which I have also read, and recommend.

And by working outwards from the differences between the second and third dimensions, we can make certain assumptions about life in the fourth dimension:

• A planet would have much more room.
  • There would be a wider variety of geography and species.
  • The population of a planet would be staggering by our standards.
• That which is easier in 2D would be harder.
  • Containers, from cups to river dams.
  • Aerodynamic devices, like sails and flying machines.
• That which is more difficult in 2D would be easier.
  • Surgery
  • Information storage
  • Traffic
  • Machinery
• Aspects of life might also be in the opposite direction.
  • There would be much less respect for the land; littering might not even be a crime. One could build anything anywhere, since there would be so many ways to go around it.
  • Social norms might be looser.
  • Predatory life forms might have less incentive to evolve.

I'd better not think about it too much longer, or blood will start to shoot out my ears.

Bus schedules are weird.

Why does the 16th street bus take fifteen minutes to get from Baseline to Southern, while buses like the Central take only twelve minutes to come from Dobson, which is twice as far away?

It might have to do with the loop, but wouldn't the northbound route start at the end of that loop?
