Much like what I've been thinking - only in terms of faulty connections in the wiring of the brain but the effect would be aabout the same... |
Non Turing robots, ones that can't run science. More like mechanical turks driven by a committee of leaches. |
Nice image! I'm stealing that expression! |
What would a world leached of leeches look like? |
Hahaha... you know I never considered the spelling of the things as I pulled one off my eyeball with a pair of pliers while holding a tiny shaving mirror with my other hand in the mountains of Papua New Guinea a few years ago. Trying to grab the tail of the leech as it flicked around was a test of my determination over that of the leeche's. The image of my eyeball's skin tearing away from the ball stuck to the leeche's mouth is forever etched in my mind. None of the local guys who were normally never squeamish could bring themselves to do it, so it was a case of do it yourself bush surgery. The leech had been there for at least an hour after walking along a tropical jungle track with near on 100% humidity complelety drenched in my own perspiration and close in foliage hitting my face. |
10 Of all of Joe's exposition regarding his adventures in New England/Iraq/Islam/Refrig-Toaster Repairland/Basement Labland, I could never rest easy with the idea that any of it was true to a plausible degree. But with you, k.e., with you I have no such problem. I say that your leaching leech story is true. Comments closed, velvet-painting-clownface. Correct your teeth. Buy dandruff. GOTO 10
/* Yes, Joe, I know what I can do with my disbelief regarding your adventures. No new information to be had there. */
