Buridian's Ass ?

Buridan's ass is a figurative description of a man of indecision. It refers to a situation wherein an ass, placed exactly in the middle between two stacks of hay of equal size and quality, will starve to death since it cannot make any rational decision to start eating one rather than the other. The paradox is named after the 14th century French philosopher Jean Buridan.

The paradox was, however, not originated by Buridan himself. It is first found in Aristotle's De Caelo, where Aristotle mentions an example of a man who remains unmoved because he is as hungry as he is thirsty and is positioned exactly between food and drink. Buridan nowhere discusses this specific problem but its relevance is that he did advocate a moral determinism whereby, save for ignorance or impediment, a human faced by alternative courses of action must always choose the greater good. Buridan allowed that the will could delay the choice to more fully assess the possible outcomes of the choice. Later writers satirised this view in terms of an ass who, confronted by two equally desirable and accessible bales of hay, must necessarily starve while pondering a decision.

Angel of Death

Woman Dragged a mile to her death

September 2006

The winding, dark discoloration on the pavement above, which spans one highway mile, is the blood of Luz Maria Franco Fierros, or what remains of her blood after crews hired to clean it from the highway did their best to do so. Fierros was 49, the single mother of three daughters and one son, all of whom lived in the humble home Fierros bought for the family in a small town 130 miles south of Mexico City. Accumulating debt motivated her to take out a second mortgage on her home last spring and to use the money to cross the border into the United States, traveling north to Denver, where a friend had told her there was work. She held three jobs, one at Taco Bell, one at Wendy’s, and one selling corn at a small roadway stand. She was looking forward to paying off her debts and returning home. She called her children (the youngest of whom was 17) every day. One daughter had recently miscarried, intensifying Fierros’ determination to return home soon.

She shared an inexpensive apartment with three men, one of whom was her “boyfriend.” Every day she had breakfast with a girlfriend in a nearby apartment. Those who knew her describe her as a happy woman, redhaired, green-eyed, hardworking, passionate.

Last week the “boyfriend”, Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, knotted an orange tow rope around her neck, tied her to the back of the car she owned, which she shared with him, and dragged her over a mile down the paved concrete highway to her death, leaving the trail of blood depicted above, which also spanned over a mile. When her naked body was discovered, it was unrecognizable. There was so much blood, highway cleaning crews could not clean it all up and special contractors had to be called in. Investigators say she was alive when she was tied to the car. Someone left a photo of the woman and her boyfriend-become-murderer near the body. He was arrested and confessed. She was identified by her fingerprints.

P.S.I did not make this up.It is a true story.

World Toilet Day

A day when those deep , washed-up disinfected souls that toilets have finally get to come out and speak well....their minds ?

No...I'm afraid not , a rather boring day where apparently toilets are brought to the forefront(gonna be hard to take a poop now isn't it).No , what i mean is you know...santitation problems and stuff like that....interesting stats are:

- 2.6 billion people –some 41 percent of the global population do not have access to latrines or any sort of basic sanitation facilities
- 1.5 million children die every year due to inadequate sanitation and hygiene
- Estimated 42,000 people die every week from diseases relate to low water quality and an absence of adequate sanitation

THE ART OF PROXYING by SON OF THE ZOO

Ok , so some classes are really boring and well....u want to...nay ...u need to skip them....well...how do those wonderful friends of your's who take your place do...is it blind courage....skill or a mix of both...

to date...i feel and hopefully this will hold true for at least two weeks , i feel you need a mix o both skill and courage to perfect this art which can go wrong in oh so many ways...

Lets divide this lesson into four bits.

1.The setup
Choose a good place to sit in.You shouldn't be too visible to the teacher or too far out.

2.The first hit
ok...so I'm referring to each roll call as a hit...the first hit(could be either your's or a friends).take it nice and easy.make your voice sound small and pitiful(unless it already is , well then you don't have to be ashamed of it).

3.The shift
Shift your place quickly!

4.The second hit
Repeat first hit , in a different position(don't get any funny ideas here).

voila...

you've done...
