A buddy of mine from the summer at Humber, Mitchell, has his own blog. I was reading through some of his postings and came across this one which i just love.. Enjoy!
Discoveries
It has come to my attention during my studies of chemistry and microbiology that the greatest discoveries of Man have been by accident. Which is really discouraging while going to school. Every student in the sciences wants to make a discovery and name after himself/herself. It seems quite impossible though, unless you have extremely good luck. I'm not talking about the walking on the street and finding a penny for good luck, any average hobo could do that. I mean look at them, how lucky are they. Well they do have no responsibilities and can drunk whenever they want. They are probably just college students that didn't want to give up the lifestyle.
It isn't just science that is lucky. Take the vikings for example. One morning one viking, who was probably the most awesome viking to ever live, decided that he was going to pilage a village, take a virgin, steal a boat, and sail away from land. I mean this is a big descision. On his way he probably got concerned about the growing lack of land around him and that he is going to innevitabely run out of beer. He probably decides to take two lefts then a right after an hour or so. After hours and hours of watching the ocean swell up and down he probably gets sea sick and vomits, then slips in his own vomit and cracks hos head off the railing and blacks out. The only thing that wakes him up is the nagging virgin telling him that they have hit land. Using the word hit is putting it gently, he more or less just rammed a lightbulb up New Foundland's anus. Why didn't this wake him up, he was probably just tired from being awesome. The point is that his sailing skills didn't find land, luck found land. If he didn't render himself unconscious, he probably would have turned left again. Other things luck has provided Man with are: antibiotics, fire, glass, role playing, the g-spot, etc.
I'm investing all my talent in luck. I'm going to consciously try to attract luck to me. If anyone one else tries, we'll see who has the bigger protons.
