because the world is round....

it has no point!

several good reads in the rag this morning.
whale shit has been fined $15,000 grand.
apparently he has financial  and medical problems.
he has run out of insurance companies to rort and his dna keeps trying to evolve into a slug.
bad luck.
or maybe he is transmogrifying from a pimple on the body politic into a full blown carbuncle.
only time will tell.
and. 
Putin is trying to scare the shit out of the world.
and.
Grimms Fairy  Tales have been re-translated.
I went looking for versions on gooogle and dismissed any that were illustrated.
The whole point is that children have to use their own imaginations and not rely on an other to do the explaining for them.
Fairy tales allow children to explore frightening aspects of the world in a remote and symbolic form and come to their own conclusions.
any attempt to sanitize, bowdlerise or explain defeats the whole purpose.








hmmmmm...

fairy tales read to children by an adult allow the child to get scared but know that someone is there to protect them.

now for something completely different...
