Brian Jardine's debut on Foodies.ca Blog -
Since I’m the only one who reads this (How entertaining) I thought I’d post this as a memory of my Dad’s blogging debut. I know I’m biased, but I think it’s a pretty interesting perspective to take, and hopefully the Foodies blog gets a spike of viewers from it.

In general I think Scott Gairdner is pretty damn hilarious, but his last few Family Circus spoofs have been especially solid.

“Occam’s razor (or Ockham’s razor) is a principle from philosophy. It says that the simplest explanation is usually the best one.
William of Ockham, a Franciscan friar who studied logic in the 14th century, first made it well known. The principle says that if there are several possible ways that something might have happened, the way that has the least guesses involved is probably the right one. In Latin this is sometimes called lex parsimoniae, or “the law of briefness”. William of Ockham wrote it as:
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem’.’
This can be translated as:
Things should not be done more times than they need to be.
In other words, you do not need to think of a lot of other explanations for something when you already have a simple one.
Occam’s razor often comes up in medicine when there are many explanations for symptoms and the simplest diagnosis usually is the correct one.”
I know that introducing Simple Wikipedia is pretty lame, but there’s a real art to writing philosophical terms for 11 year old plagirists/ English as a second language readers/ the unemployable.

“ Excuse me, ma’am, where are the lampshades? (the bottles don’t respond): Ma’am (rocks one of the bottles, which topples over, oozing syrup): Oh, no, I killed her. It’s all happening again!”
I can’t remember where I got this, but regardless it’s pretty solid. These are the questions I ask as I sleep at night.

The Citation (originally to be the “Condor”) and its X-body siblings (the Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Omega, and the Pontiac Phoenix), were among the first compact front wheel drive vehicles sold by GM. -Wikipedia
