[extropy-chat] Happy Thursday

[Trend Ologist]

This hits the spot.
Don't forget to read my two books:

'How To Appear Correct even When You Are Entirely
Mistaken'

and

'How To Profit From Nuclear War And The Excruciating
Agony Of Others'



> Now one autumn morning when the wind had blown all 
> the leaves  off
> the trees in the night, and was trying to blow the
> branches off,
> Pooh and Piglet were sitting in the Thoughtful Spot
> and wondering.
> 
> "What I think," said Pooh, "is I think we'll go to
> Pooh Corner and
> see Eeyore, because perhaps his house has been blown
> down, and
> perhaps he'd like us to build it again."
> 
> "What  I  think," said Piglet, "is I think we'll go
> and see
> Christopher Robin, only he won't be there, so we
> can't."
> 
> "Let's go and see everybody," said Pooh. "Because 
> when you've  been
> walking in the wind for miles, and you suddenly go
> into somebody's
> house, and he says, 'Hallo, Pooh,  you're  just in
> time for a little
> smackerel of something,' and you are, then it's what
> I call a
> Friendly Day."
> 
> Piglet  thought  that  they  ought to have a Reason
> for going to see
> everybody, like Looking for Small or Organizing an
> Expotition, if
> Pooh could think of something
> 
> Pooh could.
> 
> "We'll go because it's Thursday," he said,  "and 
> we'll go to wish
> everybody a Very Happy Thursday. Come on, Piglet."
> 
> They  got  up;  and  when  Piglet  had  sat down
> again, because he
> didn't know the wind was so  strong,  and  had  been
> helped  up by
> Pooh, they started off. They went to Pooh's house
> first, and luckily
> Pooh was at home just as they got there,  so he 
> asked  them in, and
> they had some, and then they went on to Kanga's
> house, holding on to
> each other,  and  shouting  "Isn't it?"  and 
> "What?"  and "I can't
> hear." By the time they got to Kanga's house they
> were so buffeted
> that they stayed to  lunch. Just at first it seemed
> rather cold
> outside afterwards, so they pushed on to Rabbit's as
> quickly as they
> could.
> 
> "We've  come  to  wish you a Very Happy Thursday,"
> said Pooh, when
> he had gone in and out once or twice  just  to  make
> sure that he
> could get  out again.
> 
> "Why,  what's  going  to  happen  on  Thursday?" 
> asked Rabbit, and
> when Pooh had explained, and Rabbit, whose life was
> made up of
> Important Things, said,  "Oh,  I  thought you'd 
> really  come  about
> something," they sat down for a little . . . and
> by-and-by Pooh and
> Piglet went on again. The wind was behind them now,
> so they didn't
> have to shout.
> 
>          "Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
> 
>          "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."
> 
>          "And he has Brain."
> 
>          "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
> 
>          There was a long silence.
> 
>          "I  suppose,"  said  Pooh,  "that  that's 
> why he never
> 		understands anything."
