British humor

😀   Refined masters of double and triple entendre.



"I'm a senna pod tea addict, and now I'm on the run!"

meaning:

1. From the police
2. Searching for a toilet
3. ( must I explain ... ? )

From the Goon Show, Confessions of a Secret Sennapod Drinker


OR


"Lady Constance de Coverlet"

1. Harmless name
2. Lady, constantly uncovering herself
3. Lady Constance of the Bedsheets


With the famous line:

Strange Man:

"I must warn you, I have no scruples!"


Lady Constance de Coverlet:

"Oh, you poor man, you!"


(Both characters played by a man, of course...)

Time Gravity Dip

Something to think about... Note that the end speed seems not to change, therefore the second law / conservation of energy is not violated -  but somewhere along the way, the effect of gravity shortens the overall time, thus increasing the overall speed (though the actual distance of travel also increased as well), so that the sphere with the longest way to travel paradoxically hits the target first . This works even in repetition:     Now imagine the opposite - a cannon ball shot (or a rock hurled) straight up into the air, to fall down exactly where it was: the distance is zero (or, if you miss, very short), but time did pass - and the speed of the projectile was much higher than can be inferred from that resulting 'distance'; in fact, the higher its velocity, the more time passes until it's return, and the slower or lower the resulting overall speed (remember that the trajectory of any missile on earth is always longer than the actual di...

Order, Complexity and Information

Order and Complexity in view of Information Order and Complexity have been used almost synonymously in this concept of gravitationally induced order throughout the universe; and though they are not quite the same, rightfully so. What has been missing is that order and complexity convey information . And this plays into the concept of entropy vs. negentropy (or negative entropy , which, again, does not exist ; what is meant is less entropy.) 1.    One manifestation or concept of entropy is that of disorder ; ergo, the opposite, negative entropy , manifests itself as negative disorder , less disorder or, simply, order . 2.    Another concept describes negative entropy as a measure of the information content of a system; the more entropy a system expresses, the less information it contains: Maximum disorder is maximum disorder. Maximum order is maximum order (which is far more difficult to express or assert). Comparing two identical...
