Sign of the times

You know what it's like. You've been trying to carve dog food for ages but it just wasn't... it just wasn't chumpy enough.

Let's play...

the rename game.

"Game of Thrones" is fine as names go. It says "majesty" and hints at intrigue. But it doesn't begin to  hint at the piratical-preening-middleearth-macho-soapiness of it all. 

How about:

Game O' Thrones.

Lord of the Cockrings.

Game of Boners.

and I think the current leader...

Throng of Gays.

French is easy if you just make it up.

"Draw your sword and fight dog, or I will put this brush up your bum".

Let's play...

The following is part of a Wikipedia entry for Rigour mortis:

"After death, respiration in organisms ceases to occur, depleting the corpse of oxygen used in the making of Adenosine triphosphate(ATP). ATP is no longer provided to operate the SERCA pumps in the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which pump calciumions into the terminal cisternae.[1] This causes calcium ions to diffuse from the area of higher concentration (in the terminal cisternae and extracellular fluid) to an area of lower concentration (in the sarcomere), binding with troponin and allowing for crossbridging to occur between myosin and actin proteins".

  See all those links? Christ and Confucius, there's a lot of them. So much needs to be explained before you can begin to understand what it's actually saying.

Is this a way to judge the complexity of an idea?

This paragraph has 12 links and 69 other words, a link every 5.75 words. If you can find a paragraph on Wikipedia with a higher ratio, (divide the number of words by the numner of links) then the idea must be... OK might be, more complex.  

Maybe once we find the most complex idea we can try to explain it and simplify it.

What's it all about, Alfie?

Well, it's about things like this. 

I mean come on. Not because it's old or kitsch, because it's beautiful. The car. The light on the car. The Girl on the car. The light on The Girl on the car... you don't need me to tell you.
