A fine excuse

During the past decades, whenever it happens - and I got the feeling it does happen quite frequently - I do wonder what Mrs. J. could mean by stating I know why the devil beat his mother-in-law.*

Anyway, why would I not write at least ten or twenty posts these days, why not even visiting regularly my 'seldom borings', let alone leaving comments?

I suppose it's just due to that my brain's not (yet) able to perform around 167 trillion calculations per second.



* She'd not find a proper excuse, you know. :)

  2. I don't think we would like a computer to visit us and comment.

    Although sometimes they do and we are forced to delete them.

  3. If people could think at 167 trillion calculations per second, my posts and comments would be upsetting a lot more people.

    Unintentionally of course.

  6. STB,
    I suppose those two minutes have yet to come. :)

    jmb,
    quite.
    For the same reason I might reactivate word verification for a while.

    Ardent,
    unintentionally? Sure? :)

    Jams,
    shall we file an application? :)

    Welsh,
    I wonder if when living in Sicily the ability of being unable to calculate is rather a virtue, a gift that helps to cope with the imponderables of daily life, especially according post office affairs. :)
    Apropos, which number did you draw, today? 42? :)))
