Sunday: Hili dialogue

August 16, 2020 • 6:30 am

Welcome to Ceiling Cat’s Day: Sunday, August 16, 2020: National Rum Day. It’s also National Bratwurst Day (make mine with grilled onions (or kraut) and mustard), God’s Preeminence Day (WTF?), National Airborne Day, and Tell a Joke Day. Okay, so here’s a joke, and you have to tell one in the comments:

Two cows were standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, “I was artificially inseminated this morning.”
“I don’t believe you,” said Dolly.
“It’s true–no bull!”

I’ll be here all year, folks.

News of the Day: Donald Trump’s younger brother, Robert Trump, died yesterday in a New York hospital at age 71. Details of what killed him haven’t been reported, but he was apparently ill for some time.

I don’t blame students and parents who feel they are being robbed by having to pay full or nearly full college tuition when there are no live classes and, often, no resident students on campus. Harvard, for example, which will have no live classes this semester, is still charging $49,653 for tuition. There will be some students in residence (40% of the total population), and the total cost including room, board, and fees is $72,391. (One-fifth of the entering students have deferred entry rather than face virtual “learning”, and I don’t blame them.) No wonder parents are rebelling and demanding hefty tuition refunds throughout the U.S., as reported by the NY Times. Although the University of Chicago is still set to open with some live classes and live students on campus, I wouldn’t bet that this will happen.

The well known song by the Band, “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” is being criticized for glorifying the Confederacy (see also here), has been called “racist”, and has been rewritten to denigrate the Confederacy for one performance. But to me Robbie Robertson’s song describes the suffering of a poor white Southern farmer from war’s depredations, and never for a minute did I think it glorified the Confederacy. Listen for yourself. I just did, and I can’t see what the fracas is about.

Finally, today’s reported Covid-19 death toll in the U.S. is 169,394, an increase of about 1000 deaths over yesterday’s report. The world death toll now stands at 770,308,, an increase of about 6400 deaths from yesterday.

Stuff that happened on August 16 includes:

  • 1792 – Maximilien de Robespierre presents the petition of the Commune of Paris to the Legislative Assembly, which demanded the formation of a revolutionary tribunal.
  • 1858 – U.S. President James Buchanan inaugurates the new transatlantic telegraph cable by exchanging greetings with Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. However, a weak signal forces a shutdown of the service in a few weeks.
  • 1896 – Skookum Jim Mason, George Carmack and Dawson Charlie discover gold in a tributary of the Klondike River in Canada, setting off the Klondike Gold Rush.

So eager were prospectors to get rich (most of course didn’t), that they schlepped stuff over snow-covered passes. Here’s a photo from Wikipedia of “Klondikers carrying supplies ascending the Chilkoot Pass, 1898″:

  • 1920 – Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians is hit on the head by a fastball thrown by Carl Mays of the New York Yankees, and dies early the next day. Chapman was the second player to die from injuries sustained in a Major League Baseball game, the first being Doc Powers in 1909.
  • 1930 – The first color sound cartoon, Fiddlesticks, is released by Ub Iwerks.

Here’s “Fiddlesticks”, starring Flip the Frog:

  • 1960 – Joseph Kittinger parachutes from a balloon over New Mexico at 102,800 feet (31,300 m), setting three records that held until 2012: High-altitude jump, free fall, and highest speed by a human without an aircraft.

Here’s a three-minute documentary about the jump:

Notables born on this day include:

  • 1888 – T. E. Lawrence, British colonel, diplomat, writer and archaeologist (d. 1935)

  • 1924 – Fess Parker, American actor (d. 2010)
  • 1946 – Lesley Ann Warren, American actress
  • 1958 – Madonna, American singer-songwriter, producer, actress, and director
  • 1967 – Mark Coyne, Australian rugby league player

Those who took up residence on their cloud on August 16 include:

  • 1678 – Andrew Marvell, English poet and author (b. 1621)
  • 1705 – Jacob Bernoulli, Swiss mathematician and theorist (b. 1654)
  • 1733 – Matthew Tindal, English philosopher and author (b. 1657)
  • 1899 – Robert Bunsen, German chemist and academic (b. 1811)

Yes, he invented the Bunsen burners. You could do worse than be immortalized (well, till the Sun burns us up) in the name of a chemistry-la fixture.

  • 1938 – Robert Johnson, American singer-songwriter and guitarist (b. 1911)

And here’s Johnson’s most famous song, “Crossroad,” sung by him. Johnson died at 27; the cause is unclear, but he may have been poisoned.

  • 1948 – Babe Ruth, American baseball player and coach (b. 1895)
  • 1956 – Bela Lugosi, Hungarian-American actor (b. 1882)
  • 1973 – Selman Waksman, Ukrainian-American biochemist and microbiologist, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1888)
  • 1977 – Elvis Presley, American singer, guitarist, and actor (b. 1935)
  • 1997 – Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Pakistani musician and Qawwali singer (b. 1948)

I was lucky enough to see Nusrat (I always think of “muskrat” when I read it) in concert in Chicago. (He died at 48 from obesity-related issues.) He was about two hours late, and didn’t care. But his qawwali performance was terrific. Here’s an example:

  • 2002 – Abu Nidal, Palestinian terrorist leader (b. 1937)
  • 2018 – Aretha Franklin, American singer-songwriter (b. 1942)
  • 2019 – Peter Fonda, American actor, director, and screenwriter. (b. 1940) 

Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili was photographed hissing at Szaron. She just can’t bring herself to be friendly to the new cat, who is a sweet and loving boy. Hili is the cat equivalent of Honey, who cannot tolerate other ducks (except her own brood).

A: Why are you so enraged?
Hili: I’m not enraged, I’m just instructing Szaron to mind his own business.
In Polish:
Ja: Czemu jesteś taka wściekła?
Hili: Nie jestem wściekła, tylko pouczam Szarona, żeby pilnował swoich spraw.

Here are some pictures of Kulka and her BFF Szaron taken by Andrzej, who calls the set “Poranne igraszki” (“Morning fun”). Have a gander, for Kulka won’t remain an adorable kitten forever!

  3. My niece told me this one.

    A young couple had just moved to a new town and approached the priest to enquire about joining the congregation of worshippers.

    He said there was a simple character test before they could.
    They had to agree to no marital relationships for one month.
    The couple thought that would be difficult, but possible.

    After a month they were back.
    Young Ken confessed that on the very last day, his wife was bent over the freezer and he was overcome – would that still be enough?

    The priest thought about it, but reluctantly said they would not be able to come to his church.

    Whereupon, Ken’s wife turned on Ken with:
    “See, your lack of control means we will have to look for another church. What’s more, we are also never going to be able to shop at Piglly Wiggly again”

  12. As Robbie Robertson is half Cayuga/Mohawk (Wikipedia says his mom was raised on the Rez) then he is a POC and by woke logic cannot be racist.

    Of course it would be easy to see why anyone of native ancestry could find some connection between Sherman’s scorched earth policy in the south during the Civil War and the actions of the US Army against the tribes in the west following the war. That song doesn’t require one to believe that by feeling the anguish of the southerners is the same as supporting their cause, only that you are recognizing the trauma on a human level, as one can do with Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or Dresden.

    1. Which reminds me of this oldie:

      On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the midst of the French Revolution the revolting citizens led a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to the guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to face up or down when he meets his fate. The priest says he would like to face up so he will be looking towards heaven when he dies. They raise the blade of the guillotine and release it. It comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the priest.

      The drunkard comes to the guillotine next. He also decides to die face up, hoping that he will be as fortunate as the priest. They raise the blade of the guillotine and release it. It comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. Again, the authorities take this as a sign of divine intervention, and they release the drunkard as well.

      Next is the engineer. He, too, decides to die facing up. As they slowly raise the blade of the guillotine, the engineer suddenly says, “Hey, I see what your problem is …”

  21. The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, which is why we have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
    Bonus Question:
    Is Hell exothermic (gives of heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
    Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some varient.
    One student however, wrote the following:
    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.
    I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to hell.
    With birth and death rates as they are we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
    Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume of Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.
    This gives two possibilities:
    1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
    2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
    So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Banyan during my freshman year that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you” and we take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true.
    Thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.
    The student received the only “A” given.

    1. A further application of physics to theology is the proof that heaven is hotter than hell. In brief, the proof goes thus:

      Isiah 30:26 says of Heaven “Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days.” Thus Heaven received 50 (49+1) times the amount of heat and light energy as the Earth does from the Sun. Assuming that Heaven is in thermal equilibrium, application of the Stefan-Boltzmann law shows that the absolute temperature is 798 K, or 525 C.

      Of Hell, Revelation 21:8 says “ut the fearful and unbelieving … shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” Thus sulphur is in the liquid state. But sulphur boils at 445 C, so Hell must be cooler than this.

      Therefore Heaven is hotter then Hell.

      Reply

    2. That makes no sense. As a thought experiment (there is no heaven or hell & souls do not exist but suppose here they do):

      we know people have tried to weigh souls with no success, therefore they must be without mass or of such a tiny mass that it would take a lot to weigh anything much.
      Even assuming that 100 billion people have ever lived, shall we say a soul weighs a gramme, that is not a whole lot in comparison with the universe let alone the solar system, so I think that answer does not make sense…

      1. If one revises the parameters to include your conditions, then does hell freeze over or not? It is possible that the temperature of hell remains in a steady state based on this new data. But that might not be funny.

Some of the string players had a long stretch where they weren’t needed, so they tied the score to the music stand so they wouldn’t lose their place, and sneaked backstage for a drink. They enjoyed themselves so much, they almost forgot their cue. As they rushed back to the stage, the bass viol players were too drunk to play, and two violinists keeled over.

          The conductor thought “Oh my god! It’s the bottom of the Ninth, with the score tied, two men out and the basses loaded!”

      2. “we know people have tried to weigh souls with no success …” because they are doing it wrong. The weight of an ovum and a sperm and a soul combining in a test tube would be much easier to measure than trying to determine the reduction in weight of a dying and then dead person. Not that there are souls.

        On a side-note, I take the view that “life” does not begin at conception. Life began billions of years ago. It’s just an ongoing process.

After the talk has finished, this person approaches her, almost at the point of tears. “Professor, you said that eventually the Sun will expand and engulf the Earth.”

    “Yes,” replies the astrophysicist, “In about five billion years.”

    The questioner immediately breaks into a relieved smile. “Thank heavens, professor. I was so worried. I thought you said five million!”

    All of a sudden her husband comes back from work. The manager
    looks at him and says: “You’re not going to believe this but

  34. “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” is written from the point of view of a poor southern farmer swept up by his times. In 1969 it was unheard of to hear a song from the perspective of someone like that, especially in a song about the Civil War. Those who object to the song are really objecting to the idea that the perspective of someone like a poor Tennessee farmer should count.

    Of course Virgil Kaine supports the Confederacy—that’s all someone in his position has to take pride in. But anyone who confuses his support for a glorification of the Confederacy on the song’s part doesn’t understand the idea of characterization.

    Early James’s presentist rewrite of the song exemplifies this confusion. He puts lines in Virgil’s mouth that Virgil would never have said, unless Virgil was actually a 21st century woke Southerner. The rewrite is bad art—the new lyrics (which look awfully clunky on the page) are an ass-covering exercise designed to make sure everyone knows Mr. James thoroughly disapproves of the Confederacy. We seem to be back in the Victorian era, where potential disturbing works of art are rewritten to protect fragile sensibilities.

    The Slate article is not horrible and makes a good point about the song’s late 60s anti-war context, but it’s occasionally uncomprehending. “Virgil, quick come see/ There goes Robert E. Lee” is not “a howlingly awful line.” It encapsulates Virgil’s dilemma and that of the South after the Civil War. You can just picture queuing up to view the false messiah who helped plunge the south into defeat, military occupation, and further property. Like the South, Virgil will continue to admire this man.

    Virgil is not nostalgic for the Lost Cause mythical south of plantations and wealthy masters. For him this is a question of regional pride, of a poor person finding something bigger than himself to believe in, despite its moral bankruptcy. Many southerners did the same. And if you want to understand the mentality that held the south in its grip for a hundred years, “The Night They Drive Old Dixie Down” is a very good place to start.

    As the scholar Linda Ray Pratt wrote, “Southerners do not love the old Confederacy because it was a noble ideal, but because the suffering of the past occasioned by it has formed our hearts and souls, both good and evil. But we celebrate the past with cheap flags, cliché slogans, decorative license plates, decaled ash trays, and a glorious myth of a Southern ‘way of life’ no one today ever lived.”

    1. A very cogent analysis. I don’t have the lyrics at hand, but I always heard the line as ‘there goes THE Robert E. Lee’ and thought it was the sight of a steamboat (maybe a Confederate navy vessel) the speaker was trying to get Virgil’s attention about.
