You know, the problem with my being such a wise ass all the time is that no one will believe that I'm serious when I say what a refreshing point of view this is. I'm all for creating a better world, and that starts with a positive attitude. Even (or perhaps especially) in an industry as wacky as ours. Hey, Chris - if you want to help Rama turn this into official contest type stuff, I'll throw in a signed copy of a book myself. :)

Why do I get a flashback of My Cousin Vinny, with Vinny arguing with Mona Lisa Vito? "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." Perhaps you had to be there... :)

Dear Brother Rama-Ji, I humbly offer you this original poem. the floating man's one question* now afloat, freed of this body, i hold only a book showing images to send back when your images, sent in to me, suddenly appear as fully opened blossoms; is the enchanting fragrance accident or deliberate ? i'm unsure if your images, ranging from raw colors to most delicate line-drawings of chimaeric animals are hoax's atoms, or aphorism of crystallized truth; do the animals live on worlds i can't, yet, imagine ? zero time to infer sequence; now let scent be master; let one aroma linger as top-note, others make a body; then, annointed in meaning's attar, we go to vivisect beating hearts of intent, or feelings, or of passions allowed to ask only one question at-a-time : i always keep asking : "why is my being here an ultimate gift ?" * the poem very loosely "resonant" with the story of Avicenna's famous "thought experiment" known as "the floating man," which he conducted sometime around year 1000 (Christian calendar) while imprisoned in the castle of Fardajan near Hamadhan by the new Emir of Hamadhan who was angry that Avicenna, then at the court of Hamadhan, had sought a position at the court of Isfahan (Hamadhan's rival and enemy). Avicenna's "floating man," divorced from bodily and sensory experience, still has a sense of consciousness, and this, Avicenna posits, is "a priori" proof we exist. Some scholars attribute Descartes' "cogito ergo sum" famous theorem of a priori consciousness to Avicennan influence. Avicenna : Abu Ibn Sina : like "Averroes, and other famous scholars of the Muslim world, given a "Romanized" name by "western scholars." Of course this was not done only for Muslim scholars : for example "Maimonides" was a "Hellenization" of the name of Moshe Ben Maimon who wrote both in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. And derived technical words based on some scholars' names, as in the case of Al-Khwārizmī,from which the word, "algorithm," orignates, are the result of accidental mis-translations based on confusing of the original name with both a Latin homophone and a Greek root-word. and, secondarily, very loosely "resonant" with the example of philospher John Searle's "thought experiment" known as the "Chinese room," where someone inside a room is passed papers with Chinese writing; the person in the room has a book that tells them what to write in Chinese in response. The person in the room does not understand Chinese, but people outside the room may assume the "room" sp
