Skeptics' Circle # 39 at Mike's Weekly Skeptic Rant
Go read the latest Skeptics' Circle, up now at MWSR - it's Scooby Doo-themed this time. Also quite funny.
As always, the Best of the Web (according to moi) appears irregularly but quite frequently at the Del.Icio.Us page I post to. I mentioned how cool delicious is here, and had been previously ranting about Jots, as in this post. The adulation previously unduly showered on Jots.com (now defunct) is equally if not more deserved by the more-popular, more-stable, still-extant delicious.
Why are you still here? Go read the 39th Skeptics' Circle, or check out my delicious page.

I've always liked that and similar quotes.
[Eh N.: Me too. It's easy to remember, gives me a useful mental image, and provides an argument why it's not enough to have just one or two kinds of skill or information. You need the raw material in a framework; you need to be able to manipulate the framework; and you need to be able to communicate with it.
Without a sense of history, you're a sucker. Without math, you're taking it all on faith. And without languages, it's hard to read it accurately, or say it effectively, let alone say it to someone who doesn't speak what you speak. Worse, you have to trust everyone - and you're a sucker.
