Der Menscheit Würde ist in Eure Hand gegeben, bewahret Sie!


Some kind soul has left this message on down in Salamanca.

If I were the vandal-type, I'd be penning some of Schiller's exhortations left right and centre. The dude sure could fire people up!

Nice 3D effect in that wall-writing. Start it. Instead of writing on wall, write them on small scraps of paper and leave them on your colleagues desks.

KL, I isolated the colour, which makes it stand out.

I don't know, the saying reminds me of something Mr. Spock once said: Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers, that smell very bad.

It's a long way from the graffiti I used to see every time I put the trolleys back at Coles, Kurt Cobain died for you! (the ! added a nice touch)

So that's my fault as well I guess

If you are fully aware that you are the part of the cycle called life-love-death - it kind of liberates you for a moments before the routine drags you back to biorobot level.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease.

I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
