The weather has been rather unpredictable. From bright cloudless and blazing hot, to sudden downpour with no glimpse of sunlight. OR even better, Bright and sunny and still raining. Thats when you get that musky smell. Rain Odour.
So how? Is the world ending? Global Warming? Rising Carbon Dioxide levels? Hole/holes in the Ozone layer? Are we all gonna die?!! arrgghh...
Well, if you've seen a George Carlin stand-up, he highlights a very very good point. The world isn't ending!! Maybe WE are ending, but the world isn't. This little rock floating abt in the emptiness/fullness of space is BILLIONS of years old, as far as we can tell atleast. And on that kinda timescale, the 200,000 grand years we've been around, is like a week vacation in amsterdam, and the 200 yrs of fossil fuels is like a Saturday night downing 8 bottles of chivas. Doesn't THAT make us feel like oh so significant little blokes?
Another interesting thing. Guess what happens when ur body gets some gunk on it that it doesn't like? It gets hot! Fevers are one of the ways the body tries to get rid of infections. Hmmm, so if the earth is getting hot, maybe its just got a little fever? Uh oh!
We the Greatest Species on this Planet, the smarter, less hairier and much more cramped Cousins of the apes are nothing more than a little infection! Has that possibility crossed your mind? It has crossed mine. One of those things i doubt i'll have or get an answer for.
I got a LOT more where that came from. Maybe, Tomorrow we can discuss ants?
