Prophecy has always been a controversial subject. Those remembered are of some event predicted to happen in the future, usually by a note-able person from religion, concerning the fate of humanity.

The Philosophy Of Golf In Ninety Five Words
2008-02-15 17:00:00
Competition is often compared to wrestling, a contest with public attention of varying size. Golf, a more interesting analogy, confronts players to negotiate weather from existing conditions, tension from opponents or both.

Seeing the terrain with confidence, experience playing the field and a discriminating eye help ...

2008-02-04 17:00:00
As an American in Paris, walking down the Champs-Elysee near the Arc de Triomphe one afternoon, I had a yen for pasta primavera.

Non, Non, said one passerby, ...
White Out

Another theorem teaches ...

2008-01-18 17:00:00
In a previous essay, the worst episodes of Star Trek ? The Next Generation, three of the most forgettable episodes were first identified.

The Nature Of Dot
2008-01-10 17:00:00
In previous essays on Dot (see bottom for links), its nature was never clearly defined.
