loving the alien.....

I'm re-reading Bill Bryson's "Neither Here Nor There", a book about his travels around Europe. As well as being immensly funny and informative it also reveals the secret on the universe, on the frontispiece no less:

There is a story of a man who got the experience from laughing gas; whenever he was under its influence, he knew the secret of the universe, but when he came to, he had forgotten it. At last, with immense effort, he wrote down the secret before the vision had faded. When completely recovered, he rushed to see what he had written. It was "A smell of petroleum prevails throughout."


- Bertrand Russell, A History of

Western Philosophy


Well, its as good as any of the others I've ever heard ;-)

The wedding was awesome. I think we all had a fabulous time, non more so than the bride and groom. I *will* upload some photos soon.
