I imagine there's some interesting variants of the - what the f**k is this? - in the infinite worlds we inhabit inbetween stages of death and birth.

"La Vita e un enigma tra due nulla". Life is an enigma between two zeros. It is attributed to Nietzsche. It looks like he agrees with you.

Can anyone recommend literature or studies done on the corpus callosum (or surrounding topography splitting the hemispheres) in humans or other animals?

Bayesian probability is an interpretation of the concept of probability, in which, instead of frequency or propensity of some phenomenon, probability is interpreted as reasonable expectation representing a state of knowledge, or as quantification of a personal belief.

I was planning to go all-in using poker metaphors to describe reality, but decided to fold.

"I'd expect nothing less" is a wonderful phrase.

It is also a sentence.

No one ever credits Ulysses S. Grant for making Copa Cabana a possible song.

I tweeted at this guy (when he was asking for info on disco) mentioning how Moroder claimed to have discovered the four to the floor, with the Moog Modular in the intro to the Daft Punk song 'Moroder', which he mentions but argues came from Latin and Cuban rhythms.

Anthropophagi is an excellent word. Slip it into the conversation the next time you have an important dinner met with friends, clients or colleagues. Ditto for hendecasyllable. This will make you appear pawky to the right kind of people. The rest don’t matter.

Ulysses S. Grant's Memoirs is an excellent read. He never mentions showgirls.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

What with all the money the Jurassic Park franchise has made I've decided to open a Pre-Cambrian park in my living room. It will have a microscope and slides of single cell organisms. I should be on easy street in a few weeks. Spielberg to direct the movie.
