A Shaft of Gold When All Around is Black

"Creating your own blog is about as easy as creating your own urine, and you're about as likely to find someone else interested in it." -- Lore Sjöberg

I found this quote on somebody else's blog, one that I frequently find interesting. So what does that say about me? Granted Lore (if that is a real name) puts in the weasel phrase "as likely to" into this declaration. So if we can figure out the odds of someone finding someone else's urine interesting, then we will know what the odds are of creating a blog that other people find interesting. I also wonder if the opposite is true? If we figure out the odds of creating a blog that other people find interesting, have we then discovered the odds of creating urine that others will find interesting?

And you are reading this on my blog. So what does that say about you? And do you find this interesting?

Title from a Monty Python skit:





WHISTLER: ... Your Highness, you are also like a stream of bat's piss.


PRINCE: What?!?


WHISTLER: It was one of Wilde's. One of Wilde's.


OSCAR: It sodding was not! It was Shaw!


SHAW: I... I merely meant, Your Majesty, that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.


PRINCE (accepting the compliment): Oh.
