gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (...whatever (by cyrnelle))

I don't understand the whole thing where philosophers always wonder about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. I mean, I get why they'd want to know - it must be pretty hilarity- awe-inducing to watch - but their poor planning ensures they won't get a correct, scientific answer.

I mean, first off, have you ever tried getting powerful celestial beings to do something trivial like dancing on pins? Of course not, because they have better things to do. They're all busy smiting and announcing and doing other angel-y things to prance around on sewing implements at some human's beck and call.

But even if you could, there'd be problems because they never really define their terms. What kind of pin? Metal? Wood? Ivory? Bone? A sewing pin, a hat pin, what variety exactly? And what kind of angel? Cherubim? Seraphim? Thrones? Principalities? Virtues? Are we talking the cute little putti, or the big ominous archangels?

And that's not even looking at what kind of dance they're supposed to do. A stately waltz? A pavane? A polka? Some kind of interpretive Alvin Ailey dying swan thing? The Twist? The Funky Chicken? The Roger Rabbit? The (god forbid) M.C. Hammer? (At least we know it's not the Macarena - that's the work of the Devil.)

Inquiring minds want to know!

...apropos of nothing, I recently discovered that my mom was a meth addict around the time she was my age. O_o

Let's Positive Linking!
- In case the recent Savage Love article about the guy who wanted to bone zombies wasn't enough for you, here's a paean to zombie lovers. (From [livejournal.com profile] jantalaimon.)

- Apparently video gamers may have quicker eyes than non-gamers. Huh.

- A Disgaea: Hour of Darkness anime has been announced. <3

- And totally not worksafe, but to traumatize all you Katamari Damacy fans out there, here's King of All Cosmos yaoi. (Note that you will have to register and be logged in to view this, or alternately you can click here and here and here.) This daily dose of brain-breaking has been brought to you by Yosi.

...though now I'm wondering why there's no King of All Cosmos/Bowie smut out there. Someone should totally do some, so we could see who would win THE BATTLE OF THE CROTCHES.

Holy shit on a stick! Joseph, you found the ultimate question to the ultimate answer! "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" "Forty-two."

You're a frikkin' genius, man!

Alright, Yoshi, there's something totally wrong with you.

How the hell do you find this stuff? ;)
