The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's elaborated on here - tcotlc.com: Jagoledak Slot Online Menghadirkan Game Favorit Dengan Teknologi Digital Modern, where there is also a 162 page PDF with lots of impressive looking "math" and "physics" "principles" "explained".

I have a brother-in-law who spent the better part of his life, at least 20 years, “decoding” the Bible using page after page of equations, translations, and masturbations to predict that the end of the world was foretold and would happen somewhere around 2014. You have to see it to believe it, it’s as though Zodiac meets Bletchley Park, with a side helping of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

His dutiful, if not too bright wife, typed up his rantings into neat piles of papers, hundreds of them, all carefully collated and stacked, ready for the brilliance to be discovered by a major publisher, which of course it never was.

Estrangement ensued in our family as Mrs. Goofy, then a television producer of a local talk show program, was “commanded” (and that is not too strong a word) to put the idiot on TV so he could explain it all. She declined for obvious reasons, mostly because there was no “there” there, compounded by the guy’s inability to form complete sentences or look anyone in the eye, not exactly the formula for commanding television.

Anyway, things have never been the same, family-wise. He’s still an idiot, the wife is still not so bright (even if the oldest), and we go on with our lives as though it doesn’t matter because, of course, it doesn’t.

The Bible. Lousy predictor of the past. Even worse predictor of the future.
