There is nothing like a good trivia to distract the mind from reality. Curiosity, somewhere is tapped by its interest in a provoking thought. Perhaps that is why Jeopardy, the game show, has been hugely popular for so long, widely considered the most intelligent format of all the game shows.
Trivia isn’t necessarily synonymous with “unimportant”, [...]

Trying to explain a theory of science to a high school class at 7:30 AM is like walking blindfolded through a dense forest at night, especially when it comes to illustrating The Theory of Everything which attempts to connect all the fundamental interactions of nature using a single model. How those elemental correlations cohesively relate, [...]

Borne upon the Aquahung
Siwanoy hunt for sport and game
Token embers of fires past
Seasons gone forsaken voice
Of mindful nights’ soft whisper
Heavy drops of Rananchqua tears
Siwanoy of a native land
Bidding to its bleakest hour
Hear the call of currents course
Summoning bode of Lenape doom
Nocturnal seasons, passing bloom
Keskeskeck of firstborn tongue
Forged among Times changing force
Beckons taut from gain or [...]

“This Little Pond of Goo,” is the overly simplistic description of the mix of amino acids, the building blocks that combine to form the origin of all earthly life, eloquently coined by Q in “All Good Things“, the series finale of Star Trek - The Next Generation. An oozing mix of gook dripping from Q’s [...]

Etched upon a celestial canvas
A wisp of blue forever alters
Shaded dreams of landscape’s adornment
Reflecting pink upon clouds’ glare
Patched with sundown’s orange cast
Glimmering stars beyond eagles’ air
Flicker hints of Luna’s inception
Fantasy ere latent illusions
Abandoned but for idea’s form
Hibernating lives of lost privy
Scripted astride, heart’s pounding eye
Forsaken by memories lost yearn
Of sorrowful repine, life’s eluded murmur
Hidden beneath [...]

“You know those times when you really want to lite a fire under someone’s ass to get them moving. They just keep procrastinating.”
Bunny Got Blog
A recent addition to my favorite blog list, Bunny Got Blog, is not about Bugs Bunny. It’s about life, told from a woman’s perspective, for anyone interested in her perceptions on [...]

Although not well versed in the Bible except the comic book and cinematic versions, to me, its words have always seemed less important than the imagery they conveyed. Parables of morality and its counter balance, immorality.
Many stories begin with an ordinary person who faces unanticipated challenges that test faith and self-confidence to inspire action or [...]

“Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your [...]

The year began with a huge task at hand: all I needed was a subject to write about for my doctoral dissertation. Considering several, I dismissed them as too trivial and yet that’s what also made them interesting.
Working with my adviser on appropriate topics, I had always been fascinated by the color green and how [...]

At first glance, a dot is small, one dimensional, and round. Nothing more is suggested with the naked eye. Using a microscope reveals a totally different world, every bit as real to whatever or whoever inhabits its space.
Telescopes, when focused on far away objects, magnify what also at first appears as a dot, though larger, [...]
