BOB update

filed under characterization

It appears that it was Lili who nominated Storytelling for the Bob Award, which was very kind of her. So that her effort does not go unnoticed, some links: the current status of the voting for best literary/book weblog (Storytelling not doing so well; Sheila is doing great). So I went over to say hey to Sheila and wow, what a great post right up from and center. It took me to a website I didn't know: The Edge. Which is not good, because it's one of those sites that will drain every minute out of my day. Here's the question that Sheila linked to:
"WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT PROVE IT?"

Great minds can sometimes guess the truth before they have either the evidence or arguments for it (Diderot called it having the "esprit de divination"). What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?

And boy, is this interesting stuff.

The bottom line? I voted for Sheila. You do as you like.

I know how you feel. The Edge has drained about 3 hours out of my day thus far. CAN'T GET OUT.

Thanks for visiting, by the way ... and thanks for the link. :)

The history has proven one thing:

Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
- Mignon McLaughlin, author

Good luck with the literary blog logo awards ....
