Sparky is having a busy day.
Sparky had way too much going on today.
A thunderstorm just went through, as I was boiling a ham bone and Sparky got a new toy. Any one of those events would dominate his attention.
Major Problem in Physics Could Be Fixed if The Whole Universe Was Spinning
Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating. If confirmed, it could ease a significant tension in cosmology.
This could be a really big deal if it pans out. Nothing would change in anyone’s life, but it could explain phenomena that we can’t explain now.

Sparky hears the pope.
“I hear the pope. He’s underground, right here. Dig! Dig!”
I already explained this. The pope isn’t missing, they haven’t chosen a new pope yet.
“Get a shovel. Before he gets away.”
Do you know what the pope is?
“Sure, popes have a pointy head, digger hands and a weird mouth.”
Are you thinking of moles?
You aren’t allowed to search for the pope anymore.

Harvard wants to be free.
Harvard’s president says the school will ‘not compromise’ on its rights with the Trump admin
That’s fine, if I were Harvard, I wouldn’t want the government pushing me around. Money comes with strings attached, so if Harvard wants to be independent, don’t accept a half-billion dollars from the government each year.
About half of Americans pay income tax. That means that I pay Harvard $3 per year. I get nothing from that, and don’t want to do it.
Harvard has $50 billion in the bank, and is tax-exempt. That should be enough.

Godspeed John Glenn.
