My Interests

"A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition". ~V. Vale and Andrea Juno, Modern Primitives "Basic research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing" - Wernher von Braun"The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living". ~J.H. Poincar"There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad." ~Salvador Dali "An Australian relief effort is knitting sweaters to protect the fur of penguins who are being affected by an oil spill. The sweaters are being refused by many penguins who would rather die then dress casual." ~Conan
