Too many men

There's been all kind of speculation about the causes behind various world events related to 'terrorism', 'regime change', rioting etc. Don't you think it's odd they should all start happening now? Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised because a process of feticide (abortions) has begun to show real signs of changing society. About 20 years ago, non-natural ratios of boys to girls began to occur on a seriously large scale...and its getting worse - some places are now producing 120 boys to 100 girls. The net effect is to create a 'barter' value for female flesh. We all ought to be very concerned about this development. Is the planet doomed!

Are we getting poorer?

A curious piece of reporting via Huffington Post says that half of all workers in the USA earn an average (mean) of only $26,354 (£17,080). That's right, 1 in 2 people's earnings are extremely modest to say the least. The shocking thing is that incomes have gone down 20% for these workers between 1967 and 2010. Quite the opposite for the 'overpaid' - watch the vid and see for yourself. The only thing I'd argue with is that the suggestion that living standards have gone down. Nope, I don't think so. Manufacturing is so automated and we are so plastics oriented now that products and things we buy are a fraction of the cost they used to be. Maybe they're less robust, but is that a bad thing? Hmm, food for thought eh?
As an aside, UK employment data reveals a continuing pay gap between genders - or rather, between women with family responsibilities and the rest.  

Better than school

Maybe you had a better school experience than La Lobster? Anyway, I bet you didn't have instruction half as good as this video by Vi Hart. She explains very succinctly, with great imagination the physics and biological nature of sound and how it is represented in musical notation. Fabulous. 

Caught in the lobster pot

A minor diversion from work - 2 bouys and a clam shell got caught in La Lobster's pot:

Interruptions

I'm not going to be harassed by phones - oh no, not me!

Work-life-balance

La Lobster can hardly ever be accused of being obsessional - she knows quite a few who are though!
Live and let live means more when you stand and stare occasionally:

Here and There

There are times when one crosses the threshold of one's workplace only to think we're in an alien place. Well, are you here or there?
