Comments & Cookies: Don’t bother to leave comments, cookies, or anything else on site. With so much junk & spam, all are automatically deleted without being read. If you have a real comment, question, or contribution to the conversation, email c/o bodlibrary2020@gmail.com with “BOD:” & website on subject line.
We don’t collect cookies, or any personal information. In fact, any information we have is promptly debunked, deleted & denied, if noticed in the first place. Our privacy policy, safely locked in a lead balloon & dropped to the bottom of an unknown sea, is underwritten by the Warren Peas Cafeteria in Omaha & its sneeze guard insurance carriers at Bezerkshire Halfaway in Absentia, following the OUIC model:
“Our privacy policy remains so private, not even we know it.”

~~~~~~”nothing’s more certain than Old Uncertainty”
“What’s the point? –the show that questions the pointed & pointless equally– suggests the point here is that what remains unknown at one level or order of magnitude can sometimes be entirely guessable at another. The outcome of any single hand in a game of cards might be almost completely unknowable in advance, for example, yet the outcome of a large enough number might be reliably predictable (e.g., house wins).”~~~House of Cards Kapital,
“The house can lose, too, less likely from the cards, slots & craps than from poor management, as with too much skim, waste, leverage fraud & corruption. In some cases, a wheeler-dealer heavy borrower who claims to “own it” may run it into the ground while personally living high on the hog on the loan money, leaving banks & successors holding the bag at the end, empty but for IOU’s.”

One can know & not know answers to the same question at the same time, in other words. In this case, the difference between success & failure, knowing & not knowing, is subject to TWO VARIABLES: time scale (of the probability) & quality (of the mis-management). Neither are static
In the ex-static band of the narrow-casting spectrum, Bod Library is a (damn) proud sponsor, host, & fan of MPR: Mime Public Radio, which puts the public in private, &/or vice versa. Always on, except when airwaves are interrupted by global emergencies or not paying attention, whichever comes first &/or lasts longest, MPR may be the only national institution to be fully endorsed by both ANN at the Anti-Noise-Network & DAAN at the Deaf Announcers Academy News (a mime-friendly teletype service). —KNUMb, “All flings considered”
SECRET WORD OF THE DAY: Private.
“In non-parallel universes, Private on a door, drawer or doo-hickey might mean (choose as many as apply):
# Keep out. # Knock before entering. # Knock before gin;
# Gin before tonic; # Gin & tonic before dinner & brandy;
# Unauthorized personnel only. # Superior Officers only.
# Psychiatrist on duty. # Private Eye &/or Dick. # Hidden Camera.
(Note that Private may or may not be the same word when plural.)

If it were a T-shirt, it would be an extra large nipple.”

“The Bible says that the divine creator proved he/ she/ it had a sense of humor by: # giving Adam apples;
# making Eve in the morning;
# giving Adam nipples;
# issuing a DON’T order;
# giving the serpent apples;
# putting faces on fig leaves;
# inviting all the infidels in the kingdom to a glorious royal beheading“
