Very early this morning, I was reading 'Synchonicity' by Alan Combs and Mark Holland. I had just took it up again after a pause of a few weeks and read the case of the rich Persian miser who refused to change his dirty old slippers and then took the wrong ones at the baths with dire consequences via the trickster of synchonicity (Hermes or Loki).
Then later this morning, reading the Sunday paper, on an inside page was an article with banner heading about the shoe thrower of Baghdad - he who had hurled a shoe at Bush and was imprisoned for a few months and then feted as a hero. Synchronous, and low probability as that shoe thrower, as the article pointed out, had quickly faded from the news and so had not been heard of in 2 years.
As far as Steorn goes - the solid state Orbo is becoming really easy to reproduce. May do so myself in a few weeks. Heater this winter, mobile charger next year. No problem. Soooo easy....
