How much I like the Internet

This whole week at work I have been researching stuff related to science and homeschooling. Although my research findings have not been very fruitful, I did find some quotes I liked, from sources who are worthy of being quoted...

"To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labor and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, sheets, cakes and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology and hygiene: I can understand why this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot understand how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three (R's) and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute."

G. K. Chesterton

"If I had to live my life over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing."

Albert Einstein


PS. I love the internet...and I can't really imagine life without Google. Latest found feature: Google Calculator. Calculate anything. 658,255.48 divided by 82

My addiction...

My worst fear has become a reality. I am addicted to a TV show...

I go to sleep thinking about Lost, I have dreams about Lost, and I wake up thinking about Lost. I have over 12 chapters of homework to read, a reaction paper to write, work to do, people to see, and all I actually care about is watching another episode. This is pathetic. But it's so good!

That's really all I have to say...
