featherynscaleNotes from 4 a.m. Sunday morning...
It's odd the things that comfort - the second law says that the universe tends toward disorder. Entropy, dissolution are the end result of everything. So you don't have to worry about whether or not something will fall apart. You can say with certainty that it will, the only question is when.
All things are transitory - there is nothing to fear. Fear itself is transitory, as we learned from Dune - I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn my inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
But not for long.
Immanentize the eschaton? Check.
Bring on the Kali Yuga? Check.
End of the world as we know it? Check. And I feel fine.

Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector."? (Newton)
I was going to add Einstein's second theory, and then the second commandment and attribute that second rule to (God), but the firewall is killing me so just rest assured that this would have been a funnier post if I had more energy today.
On a side note, Ask.com gave me some weird results when I asked for a list of the twelve commandments. I could have sworn that there were twelve. Then I remembered the History of the World. It was fifteen, then Moses dropped a slab and it became ten. Silly me.

Date: 2003-11-10 12:14 pm (UTC)And the other two commandments, the ones they don't tell you about, are:
11. Thou shalt not attempt to test the tensile strength of cows.
and
12. Thou shalt not mix thy salts with thy sweets, for that would be more sensory enjoyment than the Lord thy God permitteth.
(or something. I could be wrong about those.)
