The Ceiling Fan of Damocles

[Nick Lerman]

That's so crazy it just might work. I should take that idea and start a viral campaign.

Shark-conditioning: It's just like being at the beach, without the threat of skin cancer!

Thousands of lives would be saved!

Sharks make great air conditioners. Between the constant motion to circulate the air and the natural cooling properties of their gills, they are amazing.

They can smell your heat from over a mile away!

It should be noted that the stories of vegitarian ceiling fans have all been proven to be hoaxes.

This made me laugh more than Nick's cartoon. Today, you are the ruler of The Escapist. Claim your crown and moderately priced scepter. Not the ermine robe, though--I didn't laugh out loud. It was more of a silent chortle to myself.

I am a fan of the story of Damocles. But I am not a fan of the fan Damocles. Much like Cicero, I have tried suspending my ceiling fans from the ceiling with horse hair. But, the hairs are poor conductors of electricity and the horse is unaccomodating.

In defense of bears, tigers and lions... They attack less often, but with more vigor--favoring quality over quantity. It's like the nursery rhyme my "au pear" used to sing me:

The fan on the ceiling
May leave you reeling.
Bears, tigers & lions
Instead leave you dyin'.
