The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Thoughts from the White Board - March 11

Some days the blog writes itself.  Today is not one of those days.  If I didn't specifically know better, I'd say I was high on dope or something.  Just got a case of the munchies and I'm... spaced out.  Is the government messing with us via Daylight Savings Time?  Is it a conspiracy?  Man, I feel paranoid now.




Minutes and hours and such are a commonly acknowledged form of time recognition.  If we measured time in weight, there would be heavy stretches of time and light ones.  If we measured it in money, there'd be moments measured in gold and moments measured in gravel.  If time was counted by actions, some days would be five minutes long and some would be five days long.

Hey Butt-Head, I dreamed I was at school last night. Do you think that counts for attendance? - Beavis 

I was about to write a good quote but then I got high and forgot it. - Anonymous

Texting rules.  Yeah, I've been watching too much Beavis and Butt-head lately.  That's all I got.
