1066

It was this week in 1066 that William the Conqueror arrived in England looking for a fight.  After defeating the Old-English speaking Saxons mid October of 1066, the English language turned on its ear from being a Germanic tongue to being one also influence by Latin via French.

So it’s thanks to that, that I was able to have a job teaching English in Saxony.  Daddum ching.

Windows is Shutting Down

Windows is Shutting Down

by Clive
James

Windows is shutting down, and grammar are
On their last leg. So what am we
to do?
A letter of complaint go just so far,
Proving the only one in step
are you.

Better, perhaps, to simply let it goes.
A sentence have to be
screwed pretty bad
Before they gets to where you doesnt knows
The meaning
what it must be meant to had.

The meteor have hit. Extinction
spread,
But evolution do not stop for that.
A mutant languages rise from
the dead
And all them rules is suddenly old hat.

Too bad for we, us
what has had so long
The best seat from the only game in town.
But there
it am, and whom can say its wrong?
Those are the break. Windows is shutting
down.

Father dies, son dies

A rich man asked a Zen master to write something down that could encourage the prosperity of his family for years to come. It would be something that the family could cherish for generations. On a large piece of paper, the master wrote

“Father dies,

son dies,

grandson dies.”

The rich man became angry when he saw the master’s work. “I asked you to write something down that could bring happiness and prosperity to my family. Why do you give me something depressing like this?”

“If your son should die before you,” the master answered, “this would bring unbearable grief to your family. If your grandson should die before your son, this also would bring great sorrow. If your family, generation after generation, disappears in the order I have described, it will be the natural course of life. This is true happiness and prosperity.”
