One bitterly cold morning a sparrow who had spent two nights out in the scant shelter of a tree, decided that he could not survive a third night, so he left the tree to find better shelter.

As he flew, he got colder and colder until his wings froze and he fell to the ground. As he lay freezing, he prayed that death would come quickly. Suddenly, in his semi- conscious state he had a feeling of being enveloped in a warm covering. He recovered consciousness and found a cow had made a luxurious deposit all over him.

This new lease of life and supreme comfort made him very happy and he started to sing. A passing cat heard the chirruping, located the heap and carefully removed the excrement to reveal the little sparrow, which he promptly ate.

There are three morals to this story, which are:

1. If someone shits on you they are not necessarily your enemy.
2. If someone gets you out of the shit they are not necessarily your friend.
3. if you are in the shit and happy, keep your mouth shut!

That raises an interesting dilemma. Is it dead or alive? Should perhaps consider naming this paradox...

The great fallacy of Schrodinger’s cat is that the cat knows.

Not if it's dead

Why would someone do this?

Yeah! What a waste! He dropped some on the shelf...

That's their opinion surely?

I haven't heard Attila but at least one source would call them the worst band ever. Or at least they released the worst album ever:

Many critics, fans, and college students have spent hours debating the serious question of what the worst album in the history of rock actually is. One listen to Attila would provide them with a definitive answer. Attila undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock & roll -- hell, the history of recorded music itself. There have been many bad ideas in rock, but none match the colossal stupidity of Attila. There's a reason why they're the only heavy rock organ-and-drums duo in the history of rock & roll -- it's an atrocious combination.

The funny thing is, Billy Joel was the organist. For some reason he's never released this onto CD....

I hadn't heard of them either, but after reading that post, I checked out a couple of their tunes on YouTube. They aren't bad. I've certainly heard worse.

Among economists, the real world is usually a special case.
