Wearing my glasses I leapt into action as the super hero private citizen: Literate Man!!!!!

We were making our way through the local book store when I happened to overhear a conversation between a father and his son:

Dad: You have to start reading something other than comic books.
- Good start, right?
Son: ....
- Uh oh, he's not connecting.

Dad: This looks like a good chapter book.

Son: ....
- The kid has to be at least 13 years old. Oh crap, he's losing him!!!
Me: (Start theme music for Shaft) Excuse me Sir! (I am talking to the son by looking at the father. Man, this Dad doesn't see it coming.) I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying. Have you tried this?
- I hand the Dad a 400+ page Sci-Fi book involving comic book super heroes. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that Literate Man does not make an appearance.
Dad: (Lightbulb) Hey thanks.
- Father and Son walk FOUR FEET to the next isle. After discussing the Son's love of Starwars the family leaves with a new hardback Starwars novel.

And the city drifts off into the evening knowing that the lights are still on fore Literate Man is among them. Of course, finishing that book left me with only four hours before the alarm clock went off....

This is a true story. Please try it at home. READ A BOOK !!!

The other ultimate universal question: How?!?

The first and foremost ultimate question in the universe is usually seen as: Why? What is lurking in the background, or the foreground of many scientist is the question: How?

Are you ready for the answer? No? Yes? Well, let me start by saying that I have a different perspective than the majority of scientist out there. I believe that they have it backwards. They see matter being the normal state of the Universe. I believe that they fall short by stopping here.

Matter is another form of energy. Tightly bonded, confined, locallized energy. Energy on the other hand is the natural state of being. As energy cycles around and through itself intermingling and mixing bonds are formed. Enough together and a viable change to the "charge" of different units comes into effect. These charges collect others. This energy collects into a solid mass of creative "matter". And, you have heard the rest of the story (insert big boom here).

There you go. My personal How.
