“This is a ’scrambled’ or ‘programmed’ textbook. It is based on the knowledge that different individuals progress at different speeds in learning and allows them to go at their own pace, rather than having to ‘run with the pack’ in a lecture.”
Rib-cracker
April 29, 2007
So, I’m feeling a tad sorry for myself because I’ve broken a rib. For the ludicrous reason that I coughed too hard, presumably rather in the same manner that one hears of people breaking a disc reaching round for a cup of coffee.
A broken rib would make a lousy birthday present: because it can’t be plastered up the usual way, every breath and every movement pokes it like poking an angry scorpion while it’s living in your hair. It’s pretty much equivalent to breaking a toe and then playing basket ball on tarmac. Anyway, as I say, I’m feeling sorry for myself, and on painkillers, hence the metaphorical whimsy.

“We’ve never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn’s thick atmosphere [..] is perhaps the last place you’d expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is.”
