The ever-thoughtful Michael Fumento is back at it, this time calling me a “a human sock puppet”. Thanks, Michael! I’d been at somewhat of a loss for an idea for next year’s Halloween costume. I was thinking of dressing up as Tracy Spenser, but this is much better.

My favorite painting showed up amidst a fascinating package on human creativity in the Oct. 29 New Scientist (sub. req.) Historian and philosopher of science Arthur Miller says this: Marcel Duchamp had read some works on relativity and the influence is obvious in his Nude Descending a Staircase. I want to believe this. I’m not …
Dave points me to this: Anyone in the audience speak German?
