Back in 1655, Christiaan Huygens discovered Titan, the largest of Saturn’s 53 moons. Surprising that he could find it up there, really.
These questions work best if one has given up on the Flat Earth Theory, which We Rhinos have not done entirely. (see 1-26-2015)
The tulips signify that Mr. Huygens was Dutch, which maybe you knew already.
As you Readers may have suspected, We Rhinos are made up of Music, to a large extent.
What else could account for Us?
Ideas are elusive and tricky and unpredictable. Here one moment, then wiggled away the next.
On the happy side, they are all over the place, inside, outside, all over. But on the glum side, they have to be pinned down as soon as they appear, or a Rhino can just forget it.
Or has forgot it.
Sir David Brewster was born today in 1781 in Scotland. He was very clever and made strides in the Sciences. Sciences use numbers to establish something, so Rhinos are mostly out of that loop. We applaud, but have minimal concrete input.
Yes. What Sir David did (that We can embrace) was to invent the Kaleidoscope. You look in the little hole, and there are patterns that change if you shake it or twist it or point it somewhere else.
Obviously Sir David was a fellow who provided many Happy Birthdays over the years. We say Happy Birthday back, and thank you.
On the rare occasion when one of Us decides to tidy up, We gasp at how dreadful everything looks in the process. We start the project because things are out of hand, but as We plug on, things seem worse and worse until the final five minutes.
And then, Voila! Rhino Order.
Possibly it wouldn’t be such a mess if We acted sooner in the first place. We’ll probably never know.
Today, in 1897, Mr. John Lee Love successfully got a patent on his new and improved pencil sharpener.
Rhinos do not sharpen pencils in any case, in Sumatra or anywhere else. Still, We didn’t want the day to slip past unacknowledged.
Your Inner Rhino takes you seriously.
Today is Gilbert Proesch’ birthday. He is half of a living sculpture duo called Gilbert and George (Passmore). For roughly 50 years they have made artworks of themselves, and in various media, including photo collage. Their art is full of message, and full of no message.
Good, is what We Rhinos say.
Each and every one of Us comes with a blueprint. We will never see it, and nobody knows where they are kept. But without some sort of scheme, how would We arrive as Rhinos? And not just a member of the RFamily, but this particular critter, Unique and Exceptional!
DNA is the popular answer, but We have our reservations about those DNAs. Given the twists Rhinos each experience, how can those little letters keep up? Skepticism is not always pretty, but sometimes its time has come.
Even with the blueprint, Experience shapes who and what We are. But that beginning business… Remarkable!
Back in 1666, London, England, had a Great Fire. (Great in the sense of huge.) Many folk lost all they had, house and all. The fire was started with a “Whoops” at a bakery in Pudding Lane, which sounds improbable, but is the fact.
Rhinos generally avoid places where fires might break out. In the Wild, fires are disastrous, so We are vigilant. Who knows when a “Whoops” might happen? Natural or Unnatural.
Still disastrous.
