I just endured another family dinner where the conversation
around the table once again devolved to science topics. During the course of
the evening they covered everything from the difference between chemistry and
physics (life sciences being fairly obvious) to the differences between theoretical and particle physics, the six
kinds of quarks, and how to create a really great explosion in your
own front yard.
Me: I'm getting really bored. Can I request that at least
one conversation in ten pertain to literature or history? We can talk about books or perhaps have a lively discussion on the implications of the Inquisition.
Calvin: Nobody
expects the Spanish Inquisition!
David: Fetch the comfy
chair! There, are you happy?
