God Only Knows

[teamsaint]

Please don't put words in my mouth Where have I said that ?

"many of you would find a way to blame it on the bankers and rich people!"

Perhaps I misunderstood you, but it looks a lot like letting the perpetrators off the hook, (and by extension blaming the victims0 to me !!)



Quite agree although quite what it has to do with my riposte re paint drying I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what the drying paint actually has to do with anything, but there you go.

Incidentally, I once knew a person who was researching paint, and it actually was his job to study the details of paint drying.

Watching snowflakes melt is quite an interesting pursuit, irrespective of political significance, btw. The speed with which they dissolve into water is dependent among variables too numerous to enumerate on but include air humidity and temperature, the temperature of the surface onto which they alight, observer distance from the landing snowflake and his or her bodily temperature, whether or not he or she holds his or her breath, and in association with the last two factors wind velocity and direction vis-a-vis the positioning of observer relative to snowflake.

I just thought I'd mention that...

Just the thing to cool things a little!

Not of course were the observer to be a dragon. But there again, God knows...

I see the lyric has -

"God only knows what I'd be without you".

I presume the writer meant : "Only God knows what I'd be without you".

To limit God's supposed omniscience to the one trivial fact of "what I would be without you" seems to me impertinent.

... it's common parlance, innit.

Very interesting.

does that include the observational effect Quantum wise, S_A?

I didn't really think we would ever see the surfers' favourites appearing in Pedants Paradise, but its going to happen.......

Enhanced, yes, because by chance I heard the word twice on Today this morning, and once yesterday...

I think 'God only knows' means 'Me, I can't imagine' - as M Caliban says, an 'idiotic saying' :-)
