You might have heard of a system of self-discovery named “Core Process”. This involves a lengthy session with a specially trained[1] Core Process Psychotherapist where your innermost self - your Real Self™ will be revealed to you and encapsulated for all time in a pithy two word verb-noun phrase[2].

Recently, I’ve been reading lots of rubbish about the so-called LoG (Law Of Gravity). In case you’ve not heard about it (unlikely as that might be) it appears that way back in the 17th century, some smarty-pants called Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree and an apple fell on his head. Now, that must have addled his brain somewhat, because he came up with this bizarre notion about objects attracting one another.

But even more bizarrely, when he told people about it, they didn’t say to him “Isaac, you’ve been out in the sun too long.” Oh, no; instead they said “Hmm, you might be on to something there, matey. Why not write a book about it?” And so was born Newton’s Principia which proposes the so-called Inverse Square Law. Now, any sensible person reading the Principia nowadays would dismiss it as complete tosh. Full of arcane formulae and explanations for things that really need no explanation. And to think that he actually tried to give credence to this ridiculous idea by swinging a bucket around his head. Really, Isaac, you should have got out more.

I’m not normally one to scaremonger, but I think everyone should be aware of the dangers from the widespread use of Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO).

The following are taken from www.dhmo.org.

What is DHMO?
Dihydrogen Monoxide, or DHMO, is a colorless and odorless chemical that kills or maims thousands each year, primarily through accidental inhalation. It has also been revealed to be a causative agent in many environmental exposure incidents, industrial contaminations, automobile accidents, and property damage. The dollar amount losses caused, and the lives impacted, by the DHMO threat are virtually innumerable.
