Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 18, 2012
Transcript:
Danae: What are you doing out here, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Working on stuff. Danae: Oh... how long will it take? Jeffrey: Doesn't matter. That's the whole point about contemplation. Speed is not of the essence when you're in pursuit of enlightenment. Danae: Oh... cool. Wouldn't it be easier to just Google it? Jeffrey: I'm pretty sure that'd be the opposite route to enlightenment.

Or maybe it could be “…the opposite to the route to enlightenment”. Oh, no that was TV. Google is only an approximation.

Awe, they were meant for each other…..another Arlo and Janis….Kate just wouldn’t be right for Jeffrey….someday there will come a time when she will be shocked to find out that she’s got a crush on a booger brained boy……Of course it will be on her terms……

The road to Shangrila cannot be googled or wiked.

One does not simply Google into Mord…uh, I mean enlightenment.

The guy who invented the DNA replicator was tripping on LSD when he got the idea for the replicator. His mind was wandering idly?

Well, Danae is not going to succeed at contemplation. It takes too much time and you have to sit still.

Once turned right onto the opposite road to enlightenment. Ended up at a McDonalds. Fries were good.

Funny how time changes things . . . before the internet people complained about tv being a waste of time, before tv people complained about the radio, and before the radio people complained about books. Now we tell people they should be reading more books. Makes me wonder if there will ever be a time when we say that people should be surfing the web more? (Although I would be blissfully ignorant about other people’s bizarre behavior if it weren’t for google images searches.)

As Casey Stengel used to say, “Ya could look it up …”

Oh my goodness is that a HEART on Danae’s shirt (dress?)? It certainly doesn’t look like her normal skull.

“If it turns out Danae does have a crush on Jeffrey, I’m afraid she’ll discover it won’t be reciprocated.”’Fraid it would be reciprocated – see the March 30, 2012, strip.

Some meditative practices would reject “contemplation” as well, as being too object-driven. Thinking about something is easy, compared to thinking about nothing.

She reminds me of my wife. I could be working on a chapter in Calcuus and she will say “How long will it take?” Then she will start in saying “When?” ’When?"

Good for Jeffery… Knowledge can be Goggled… Wisdom must be realized from within,

re Sunday, asking what he’s doing is not the same… and you BEAT ME TO IT! :) :() :)
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
More knowledge may make a wise man wiser, but would be wasted on a fool.If you doubt this take a close look at some of our politicians.
