all monsters and dust

finally the chinese government and i agree on something

A Chinese man has been refused permission to name his son '@'. But WHY would he WANT to??? I am all for non-boring names, but shouldn't they at least be words? What is WRONG with people today? Children should not be named after brands you like (especially of liquor, or shoes), and if you are going to make their name up, at least make it something pronounceable.

Also, changing your own name to 'They' is horrifyingly narcissistic, to the point of staggering psychosis.

Psychosis! It is everywhere I turn these days! Maybe it's contagious.


(Speaking of contagion -- if my company were paying for flu shots, should I get one? Please email your thoughts.)

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
