In a lighter vein

Its not often that one senses unambiguous accomplishment. I had this feeling today – I felt I had conquered the final frontier. I had successfully prepared my own breakfast.

Well, almost. The credit goes to my cook who incidentally is on leave. I hope the leave does him some good. He showers me with great respect and makes me feel like an unleashed alsatian with his reactions.

Cooking, though, is not rocket science. Its closer in complexity to conditional probabilities.

Archimedes discovered buoyancy in the bath tub. Have you ever wondered where Murphy figured out his law? I am quite convinced he did it in his kitchen.
