Constant malicious remarks Pete and Don even at holy NINE ELEVEN...!

"You go to Shakey's to get that
American kind of pizza
That has the ugly, waxey, fake kind
Of yellow cheese on the top...
Then you go to Straw Hat Pizza,
To get all those artificial ingredients,
That never belonged on a pizza in the first place
But the white people really like it..."

Actually, I went through a Shakey's Pizza phase. Do recall both white and yellow cheese product. The sausage, now, seemed superior to me at the time, large crumbles of a very course grind, real meat with some tooth to it. And Shakey's was where I first learned that black olives go nicely on Pizza. Outgrew them by the time I finished high school, but they were a step in the total development....

Unless I am in North Joisey or New Yawk City.

Today is Peter Ustinov's birthday. I find I dig how he thought....

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me to be the most civilized music in the world.

Once we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our mind, our one duty is to furnish it well.

Beliefs are what divide people. Doubt unites them.

Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.

Intelligent or not, we all make mistakes and perhaps the intelligent mistakes are the worst, because so much careful thought has gone into them.

To be gentle, tolerant, wise and, reasonable requires a goodly portion of toughness.

The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.

Years ago I read Ustinov's autobiography which, as I recall, was titled "Dear Me". I liked it a lot.

It's Richard Feynman's birthday, and he's very worth remembering....

The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that is most interesting.

Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, "Is it reasonable?"

Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there.

Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.

We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

All from Richard Feynman, 1918 - 1988
