Scientific Progress Does Indeed Make A Noise

Scientific progress does indeed make a noise, the question is, what noise does it make?

Is it the dull thud of an apple knocking someone upside their head?
The KA-freakin-BOOM of an atomic bomb being dropped?
Or is it simply 'Boink'?

'Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink''

- I'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
- The problem with people is that they're only human.
- You know, sometimes the world seems like a pretty mean place...(hobbes)...That's why animals are so soft and huggy.
- It's sad how some people can't handle a little variety.

Xmas Eve
On window panes, the icy frost
Leaves feathered patterns, crissed & crossed,
But in our house the Christmas tree
Is decorated festively
With tiny dots of colored light
That cozy up this winter night.
Christmas songs, familiar, slow,
Play softly on the radio.
Pops and hisses from the fire
Whistle with the bells and choir.
My tiger is now fast asleep
On his back and dreaming deep.
When the fire makes him hot,
He turns to warm whatever's not.
Popped against him on the rug,
I give my friend a gentle hug.
Tomorrow's what I'm waiting for,
But I can wait a little more.

- Genius is never understood in it's own time.
- Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.
- Stupidity produces antibodies.
- It's always nice to have a sympathetic friend to talk to.
- Unless you're a star, you can't please anyone.
- That crossed the line from ironic coincidence to evil omen.
- All my real skills are undervalued.
- Pander to me!

Mr Watterson's sixth book has a few less quotables in it, but some fun storylines that ran for a couple of weeks each. Always experimenting. Kudos Mr Watterson. Shall we move on to the next book?
