Conspiracy theories Posted Jan 12, 2006 17:53 UTC (Thu) by lysse (guest, #3190) [Link] I don't know, that list of links looks like awfully hard work...
More than you wanted to know... Posted Jan 12, 2006 19:54 UTC (Thu) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054) [Link] Well, one of the things I like least about the Web is how tough it is to sort fact from fiction---try finding the correct wording, to say nothing of the source, of some popular phrase. For instance, who said Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.[1]?I try to keep my contribution down. [1] It seems to have started out as Time is nature's way to keep everything from happening all at once from John A. Wheeler, who knows a thing or two about time and space. I tracked it back to a Nova program on PBS, and quite the expedition it was. Many folks think it's from Woody Allen, but the attribution seems to be spurious.
