This casts doubt on aliens ever being able to decode television broadcasts or the devices on the Pioneer crafts.

Knowing some of the other 1957 era opinions of what was safe, I will take “well within the permissible limits for emergency use.” with a salt lick.

The possibility of the flu causing the demise of homo sapiens brings to mind a line from one of Stephen King’s short stories. A particularly bad flu strain had killed billions, and civilization was over. A couple of teens had painted the following on a wall: It was just the flu.

Yep. That’s generally how we view the flu. It’s just the flu. Nothing bad.

I’m glad that I finally had time to read this article. Out of all the neuroses and psychoses I think that I might have, I can take this one off the list.

Interesting game. I doubt that I will ever come even remotely close to your score.

Hmm… Maybe I’ll be able to find a cheat site or find an AI that specializes in Wordwhile.

Speaking of Harding, my wife and I visited his preserved house in Marion, Ohio, on 08.30.23. It is an interesting house, but of much greater interest is the truly huge monument that a local group had erected. It is larger and more grandiose than many of the Founding Fathers’ monuments. Frankly, I find it to be ridiculous, considering that he served only 29.5 months. Also, the man’s morals and character make the monument even more absurd.
