• Is this Blasphemy?

  While I realize that the anime internet community is abuzz
  with the latest in the Comcast/Odex/BitTorrent debacle, I don't feel any need
  to report on it. If it concerns you, you can look into it yourself. There are
  far more qualified people to explain it. I'm just glad it has mostly blown over by now. Ah, it's always fun to see American contractors make mistakes on international soil. That's all I have to say about that.
  

  
  On a more important topic, I want to consider
  eternity. My thoughts on the topic came on the heels of a particularly slow day
  in the office. I believe the initial seed was "uguu... every minute feels
  like a quarter of an eternity." Now, if you took a quarter of eternity, it
  would still be an eternity, right? Except it would be a smaller eternity. Specifically,
  it's an eternity divided by four. So by getting a quarter of an eternity, you
  are now left with three spare eternities. They are still eternities, however,
  so they are not technically smaller. You just have your initial eternity and
  three other eternities. They should be smaller, but they are still equal
  eternities. Suppose, instead, that you are given all of the numbers to infinity
  (for the sake of orderliness, lets say that they are all in order and lined in
  a row). What would you have if you took out from those infinite numbers all of
  the Fibonacci numbers? You would still have two infinities, but this time they
  are not technically equal. The Fibonacci infinity should be smaller than the
  original infinity, or even the secondary infinity. However, they are still
  infinite, so they should remain equal. It was at about this point that I
  decided to shoot myself in the head.
