So, if God is love and love is blind. Ray Charles was blind, was Ray Charles God? (a minor deity at the very least IMHO).

Make (or imagine) an index card with the words "The other side of the card is true" on it, and on the other side "The other side of this card is false." I found this in a book of paradoxes when I was little. If anybody has any answers, tell me, 'cause I might just be wasting my time wondering about it.

Two of my favorites. "I never tell the truth" and "All truth is relative."

I must say that it's hard to tell from the photo. Is he playing an
instrument or drinking? It sort of looks like the group is preparing to

The cup holder maybe or in the passenger seat with the seat belt on or the side pocket on the door the possibilities are endless.

Why hasn't anyone invented a soft whistle that I can actually play while driving without fear of having the airbag go off and turrn it into a projectile?

Wanderer,

Thank you for bringing a smile to an otherwise awful day. You have planted a seed. Never forget that the ordinary things we do can have extraordinary results.

Mike

Well if no one invents that at least you will die happy.

That gave me an idea for a topic. If you could die any way how would you die?

I think whistle going thourgh your skull is a good way.
Dark humor is always good.
Alright that is my most morbid post.
