There Must be a Stash in the Big Bang Theory

Posted on 19 September 2012 by Larry Russwurm

I feel a kind of ownership over the Big Bang Theory. After all the show features 3 physicists and an engineer. I have 2 ½ years of university level physics to my name. I’ve even been asked about it. But … Continue reading →

Possessions

Posted on 12 September 2012 by Larry Russwurm

The language of love leaves a lot to be desired. Think of it. “Be mine” is probably the most used Valentine and candy heart slogan. “I’m Yours” was a recent big hit by Jason Mraz. We’ll even say “who belongs … Continue reading →

Posted on 29 August 2012 by Larry Russwurm

[Added March 10, 2014: By “we” I mean Caucasians and Asians. I’ve also misused the term humans when meaning just Caucasians and Asians. I hope this makes it clearer.] I came to this story of Neanderthals by way of a … Continue reading →
