Except for rotating and cropping the image and enhancing the colors, that’s not a photo shop. The original image [below the break] is even more bizarre. Continue reading “The Day Gravity Changed”

The .Gif Friday Post No. 298 – Juggling Machine, Lego WTF & Nano Motor
What fascinates me about nano motors is that the moving parts are molecules, so they never wear out. I’d assumed that they are also friction-free, but apparently that’s not the case. More here.

Happy Socialism Day – An Opinion
Once May Day was coopted by socialists (to commemorate the 1917 Communist Bolshevik Revolution) President Grover Cleveland sought to distance an observance to honor those who worked in jobs requiring physical exertion. Labor Day was created as a sop to the unions, and it accomplished little except to foment class envy, the lever used by Leftists throughout history.
Labor Day was easily coopted by Unions, who are by definition socialist. Work too hard or too efficiently, you make the sluggards look bad. That’s what I was told, as was my father – work at average or below, nothing more, or you’re out of a job. When the top producers drop to the mean, the mean drops even lower.
There’s something obviously wrong and inherently evil with that credo, and I never bought into it.
Every worker starts out as a pissant. Few workers stay at that level… unless they want to. Who is dumb enough to want long-term minimum wage? I certainly didn’t.
Note that there is no holiday respecting the one institution that supports labor, pays for labor, frees people from impoverished economic slavery and provides step stones to prosperity, and that is Free-Market Capitalism.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is either ignorant or a liar.
BTW, here’s your bratwurst. Mustard’s over there.
