i saw these ants and there were black round things around their entrance hole...rocks is what i figured they were...i figured the ants had picked up these rock and whittled them into round rocks...for what purpose i could not determine...then a little voice in my head said..."What! are you an idiot, those are seeds!" so i looked around and saw these prickly things and inside were the black seeds...but with a little white part..which must be the only part that they eat because the white part is gone on all the seeds around the ants entrance hole...another discovery for science...sort of...
i watched a very good movie a few days ago..."Dog Day Afternoon" with Al Pacino from 1975...spoiler alert...there are no dogs in this movie..it is about Sonny and Sal who try to rob a bank...it is not a documentary or a comedy...it is a tragedy...it is very dramatic..there is one memorable line which Sonny says to Leon which is the only funny line in the movie but it is still not a comedy the line is..."I'm with a guy who doesn't know where Wyoming is. Think you got problems!" anyhow Aristotle named tragedy as the highest form of poetry. Plato did not like tragedy...thought it would put bad ideas into the heads of youth...Socrates did not like tragedy either...Aristotle said tragedy has the power to impart virtue through the actors IMITATION of noble acts...i was thinking which poet might have written this movie...maybe charles bukowski...maybe alan ginsburg...who knows...Leon should get an academy award!
"Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than is the non-performance of base ones." Aristotle
