Lookalikes

Most of us have a celebrity or peer that closely resembles us.  More than the average person, I have a lot of lookalikes.  I am constantly being told that I look like someone else.  Sometimes it distracts people, and attracts a lot of attention.  I guess I just have one of those faces. 

Here are the people that I get told I look like the most:

1. George Costanza.  Probably once a month someone tells me I look like him.

2. That guy from Reading Rainbow.  I frequently get asked if I am him when I go out somewhere.



3. Nacy Pelosi.  Most of my friends make the connection at one point or another.

4. Plato.  I can kind of see it.

5. A bowl of soup.  I can tell you that people have mentioned this one to me at least a few hundred times.  It's nice to get this one out of the way quickly when I first meet someone.



Blue Danger, the poem that spawned Avatar

James Cameron wrote the following poem at a diner while on vacation, which would later become the inspiration for the mega-blockbuster, Avatar.

Facts and Wisdom from physics professor, Dr. Derbis Mulky

"If you look at water closely enough you can see that it is just wet air.  That is why the word 'water' sounds a bit like 'wetair'"

"I didn't know our planet was called earth until I was 19 years old.  Up until then, no one ever told me, and I never asked.  I thought 'earth' was the name of some sort of angry god.  Sometimes you have to ask questions when you want answers."

"You can't really go backwards.  Even if you walk backwards, you are still going forward.  The only direction that really exists is forward.  All other directions are works of fiction."

"Sometimes, you have to use words to communicate.  If you are going to write those words, make sure they are spelled correctly.  If the word does not exist because you made it up, spell it however you like."

"Counting is a peculuar activity.  I know where to start but I don't know where to stop.  Sometimes you have to know when to stop.  I learned that the hard way."

"The universe is made of lots of tiny energy vibrations.  When you see a human vibrating, that does not mean they are a universe, that just means they are very cold.  I learned that the hard way too."

"Dogs are not cats and cats are not dogs.  In physics that's what we call Meeper's Law."

"If atoms were large enough, we could use them to build things.  That is also called Meeper's Law."
