"I believe people see something alien in me and the real reason is that in my youth I was never young..."

“I believe people see something alien in me and the real reason is that in my youth I was never young and now that I am entering the age of maturity I cannot mature properly. There was a time when I was all ambition and eager to learn, when day after day I felt aggrieved that nature had not, in one of her benvolent moods, stamped on my face with that mark of genius which now and again she bestows on men. Now for a long time I have known I am not a genuis and cannot understand how I ever could have wanted to be one. I am not even very gifted; my whole capacity for work probably springs from my character and from the absence of outstanding intellectual weaknesses…”

- Sigmund Freud, in a cocaine-influenced letter to his fiancee Martha. (via funwithsynthesizers)

Jupiter’s Moons

Jupiter has at least 63 moons, which are often named after the Roman god’s many lovers. The four largest moons of Jupiter, now called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, were discovered by Galileo himself, and are appropriately known today as the Galilean satellites.

Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, larger even than Mercury and Pluto. It is also the only moon known to have its own magnetic field.

Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The sulfur these volcanoes spew out gives Io a blotted yellow-orange appearance that is often compared to a pepperoni pizza. As Io orbits Jupiter, the planet’s immense gravity causes ‘tides’ in Io’s solid surface that rise 300 feet (100 meters) high, generating enough heat for volcanic activity.

The frozen crust of Europa is made up mostly of water ice, and it might hide a liquid ocean holding twice as much water as Earth does. Icy oceans might also exist beneath the crusts of Callisto and Ganymede.

Callisto has the lowest reflectivity, or albedo, of the four Galilean moons. This suggests that its surface might be composed of dark, colorless rock.

List of Jupiter’s Moons

Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Amalthea, Himalia, Elara, Pasiphae, Sinope, Lysithea, Carme, Ananke, Leda, Thebe, Adrastea, Metis, Callirrhoe, Themisto, Megaclite, Taygete, Chaldene, Harpalyke, Kalyke, Iocaste, Erinome, Isonoe, Praxidike, Autonoe, Thyone, Hermippe, Aitne, Eurydome, Euanthe, Euporie, Orthosie, Sponde, Kale, Pasithee, Hegemone, Mneme, Aoede, Thelxinoe, Arche, Kallichore, Helike, Carpo, Eukelade, Cyllene, Kore, Herse

"Geoffrey Chaucer: Bella, Edward and Jacob are on a pilgrimage to Candlestick Park along with others...."

kryntree — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 08:04:06 -0500

“Geoffrey Chaucer: Bella, Edward and Jacob are on a pilgrimage to Candlestick Park along with others. To pass the time they decide to tell stories. Bella tells the story of Troilus, who falls in love with Criseyde without ever speaking to her and spouts 2000 lines of poetry while lying on his bed, weeping. Edward tells the story of three men who meet death on the road, make bargains with him to be rich, famous, and powerful, and end up sparkly feminized vampires. Jacob tells the story of a young woman married to a really old vampire and the young handsome man who moves into their house and woos her. The story ends with a red hot poker and someone peeing out the window. They never get to Candlestick Park.”

“Chaucer didn’t worry about writing literature. Shakespeare didn’t. Dickens didn’t. They wrote stories for people, plain people, like the guys I used to work with at the lumber yard. They wrote because they had to, being storytellers. They wrote because they had to, and the rent was due. They managed to make literature out of their stories because they were geniuses.”
