I like the cut of your jib

Last night I used a treadmill at the gym and today there was a sign on it saying it was broken. I fail to see the connection. I wonder when someone will figure out a way to connect generators to all the treadmills and elliptical machines at the gym. There are at least 20 people on those things at all times, they would never have to pay an electric bill again.

I also thought today that the pro-life movement should use Iggy Pop's Lust For Life as their theme song and re-write it so it's called "Right To Life" (I got a right to life, yeah a right to life). It's even more fitting because Iggy Pop is so shriveled and veiny that he looks like an aborted fetus himself.

This is the most interesting thing I've learned in art school so far: apparently the Hebrew for radiant light is very similar to the Hebrew for horned. Because of this, Moses was depicted in works of art with horns on his head for something like a thousand years. Here's Michelangelo's Moses:


It's kind of hard to see, but there are two nubby horns on the top of his head. Cute, he looks like a billy goat.
