"Spocked" fiver

I dont think it's a lack of respect mostly boredom?

because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.

Efficiency or Inefficiency:
The U.S. Senate voted this week to eliminate the bureau of efficiency at an estimated saving of $150,000 a year. On the other hand, friends of the bureau claimed it had saved the government $50,000,000.
Question:
Is the senate too inefficient to recognize the efficiency of the bureau of efficiency, or is the bureau of efficiency in reality a bureau of inefficiency?
Take your choice. We confess, however, to a wish that the bureau of efficiency could eliminate the inefficiency of the senate.

An acquaintance of mine, from Victoria Texas, is retired, with a background in cryogenics.
Here is a recent article about him, run by the local paper. If you squint, one could pretend he is jamesp ’s father, lol.

www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/local/snowman-reminds-victoria-residents-it-s-winter-in-south-texas/article_35a5fa4c-25b8-11ea-8aeb-c790624de3f3.html

Condensed version. He modified a window ac unit to run on propane, and hooked it to some 1/4” copper coils, in the shape of a snowman.

Book: Williams' head abused at facility

PHOENIX -- A new book by a former employee of Alcor, the company that froze Ted Williams' remains,
alleges the Baseball Hall of Famer's body was mistreated by the company.

Larry Johnson says in the book "Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death"
that he watched an Alcor official swing a monkey wrench at Williams' frozen severed head
to try to remove a tuna can stuck to it.
The first swing accidentally struck the head, Johnson contends,
and the second knocked the tuna can loose.
