True in some ways they are better because they're unique properties are easier to reproduce.

All things are physically ephemeral but conceptually eternal, even if the idea is lost someone or something will have it or an idea very similar to it again. The actual article is doomed by entropy, all physical objects change.

BACKGROUND: In Spring of 2012, Louisiana's Corne and Grand Bayou residents noticed strange bubbling in the bayou for many weeks, and they reported smelling burnt diesel fuel and sulfur. Then suddenly a sinkhole the size of three football fields appeared on Aug. 3, swallowing scores of 100-foot tall cypress trees. The sinkhole resulted from the failure of Texas Brine Company's abandoned underground brine cavern. The Department of Natural Resources issued a Declaration of Emergency on Aug. 6, and 150 families were evacuated.

"Five weeks after our last update of December 24 on the Bayou Corne sinkhole, we are finding that things actually look a bit worse. The water levels seems higher, and the work efforts appear to have subsided. Equipment has been removed, and the homes to the west and northwest of the sinkhole look seriously unpopulated. The recent seismic activity has people and the government concerned [...]"

I don't know.

Only you can answer that one.

Maybe on a subconscious level you want to understand what I'm writing.

Probably not, I get these weird flashes of optimism.

It probably fumes from cleaning the kitchen.

whatever.  Why do I waste time talking with you? 

Because Teletubbies has been off the air for 10 years.

What a strange story, poor chap.

Though inevitable, entropy is neither here nor there.

Here is an interesting story for those who look beyond entropy.

Oh it's here and there alright, it's everywhere we can see and we can see a long distance.

The solution to the featured story is obvious.

Other providers should offer free food for teaching Buddhism, various traditions of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and that way the pupils would be exposed to a variety of influences both spiritual and culinary.

The Jewish temple should only be allowed to operate if it opened up it's services to everyone. That way more people will learn about the traditions of Judaism and it's food.

If the school itself offered free food to encourage people to learn about Maths, English, History, Geography and the Sciences perhaps it's pupils would be too full to wander off into the pavilions of religion and nosh.

...People, Places, Things You Should Have Learned In School (Had You Been Paying Attention), Science, and Odds and Ends.

This will cheer Mrebo up hopefully.

Meanwhile more insanity from planet Earth.

Serial non-killer just made it up for attention and drugs.

That is cheerful news, Bingo. Now I feel less inclined to send in an elite archaeological-military team to kill the ignoramuses.

I continue to not understand the Japanese. Though good relations with the Asians I have.

As for entropy, it is not here nor there as far as discussions of what is important to us as humans is concerned. Reference to physical laws makes every human concern small - from the holocaust to destroyed artifacts.

One of your curious statements.

May I be the first to wish you a happy Valentines day.

I meant (in context) from school property obviously, as an educational service.

Jewish religious instruction goes on off campus presumably.

Religious freedoms have their limits.

That response just makes me visualise Warb as Buffy which I'm currently re-watching.

Swearing keyboard = my new favourite thing.

If you liked that you make enjoy this. (It's in a similar vein so if language upsets you don't F*@%ing go there).
