Noodlings

When you don't have a job, you spend a lot of time noodling on the various mysteries of life. I'll give you an example of how I've been occupying my time. Thought: who was the first person to look at a lobster and say to himself, "now I bet that'd be good to eat. If I just crack open the hard, spiky exterior and avoid all those eyes and antennae, I bet there's some fine dining to be had." I wonder sometimes if humankind is still capable of such amazing leaps of faith.
