The hospital I work at emails me an inspirational message every morning.

I liked today's. They said it was from an old folk song.


Be kind to your parents, though they might not deserve it.
Remember that "parents" is a difficult stage of life.
They’re apt to be nervous, and over excited,
Confused by the daily storm and strife.
Remember, though it seems hard I know,
That parents were children long ago.

Excuse me, but I just have to ask.


What the hell is everybody doing in just one place?


Among other things, it doesn't make evolutionary sense (well, assuming "evolution" actually describes something).


Wouldn't we be much more successful survivors and/or reproducers if we could be in more than one place at once?




Get back to me on that why don't you.
