More Babbage

... it is said that he [Babbage] sent the following letter to Alfred, Lord Tennyson about a couplet in "The Vision of Sin":

Every minute dies a man,
Every minute one is born

I need hardly point out to you that this calculation would tend to keep the sum total of the world's population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is a well-known fact that the said sum total is constantly on the increase. I would therefore take the liberty of suggesting that in the next edition of your excellent poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows:

Every minute dies a man,
And one and a sixteenth is born

I may add that the exact figures are 1.167, but something must, of course, be conceded to the laws of metre.

It may be that he needs these visual cues to function.

Found a house while I was out just now that might actually be affordable.

A battered Monopoly house. Ho ho ho. To be fair I don't know how much these cost in monopoly now. Also just dawned on me that in the game they are buy to rent.

No but I can do you some merch from a cunningly-branded* national research centre, _allegedly_ hastily renamed after some rather dodgy shenanigans. I also have tote bags and an eraser :D * There are only so many permutations of AGC and T you can backronym without ridicule.

To be fair no-one can say angels don't have three arms. The last artist's impression I saw was a bunch of angry eyeballs.

Nice.

Book titled 'Pan's People Our Story' which I hope isn't a further series of revelations about Radio One DJs in the 70s and 80s.

My chubby mug is the nuts. This is the mug Henry Moore would use. My partner is not a fan (boo, hiss).

HOUSTON (The Borowitz Report)—The US Senate race in Texas got uglier on Thursday as Republican Ken Paxton accused Democrat James Talarico of lacking the requisite criminal record to represent the Lone Star State in Washington.

“With all due respect, my opponent doesn’t have the cojones to go on a crime spree,” he told a crowd of supporters in Houston. “James Talarico never saw a law he didn’t abide.”

Drawing a stark contrast between himself and Talarico, Paxton said, “My criminal record is as big as Texas itself.”

Paxton warned that, given the lawless environment that currently prevails in Washington DC, a non-crook like Talarico would be a “dangerous choice,” adding, “Texas deserves a criminal who doesn’t need on-the-job training.”

I think it's time to bring up the pure experience of Death Valley on the ZX81
