Imagine everyone in the room is in their underwear.

That must be the singularly most insipid advice anyone can give.
(there are others too like You should never, ever try doing this but I ‘m not going to tell you what you’re not suppose to be doing so that you can go right ahead and do it anyway and find out about your mistakes later)

I don’t get it. Where does all this come from, was there really a person comfortable with imagining a room full of people wearing nothing but their underwear. Wouldn’t he/she have had to consider the brand of underwear people are wearing? Who needs that kind of pressure.

And that must be the silliest thing I’ve ever commented on.

Tying up my hair must have gotten some wires crossed.

Have you noticed how satisfying it is to drop your ice cream on the cement floor. Splat, and its instant art.

Oh, and how lower primary school kids bring the most ridiculously huge bags? The ratio is uneven. Its funny to see them totter though. Teeter teeter and plop.

Calvin:"I'm not going to do my maths homework. Look at
these unsolved problems. Here's a number in mortal combat with another. One of
them is going to get subtracted. But why? What will be left of him? If I
answered these, it would kill the suspense. It would resolve the conflict and
turn intriguing possibilities into boring old facts."


Hobbes: "I never really thought about the literary
possibilities of maths."


Calvin:"I prefer to savour the mystery."


I love Calvin and Hobbes.
