I was just wondering, with all the horror books in the world based on so many fears and random scary stuff, what is it that scares us the most?

Is it clowns, little girls, spiders, being buried alive, dead people coming back to life, dying, never dying, seeing dead people, some dead guy with knives on his fingers, etc.
Or are they all the base fears that stem from when we were just living in caves?

As you can see, the choice is myriad.

Let's see what we can come up with,...

Saw a roll-over accident on Friday on the highway. A car tumbled down the embankment from the frontage road towards the highway. It's weird to see something like that and not hear it. When something like that happens in a movie, there are all these loud crashes and noises, but in real life when you're in your climate-controlled vehicle with the radio on, it's a mute disaster just off to the...

That's why I created ParrotRead. It sends me a weekly digest of books which people I follow have tweeted about so I don't miss any.

Why is this? Has God gotten mellow in his old age? Or maybe he suddenly have unlimited stores of patience and generosity much like my dad after us kids all moved out of the house? Did God stop taking out his stress on man once Jesus moved out of heaven and moved into a cozy virgin womb?

I agree with those who think the Iran agreement should be supported, first because nothing better seems to be available, second because I suspect that technological means of supervision (to avoid a global catastrophe), are available in the USA. Here is what I have just posted on that subject, at an Internet forum for physics teachers:

Something like duolingo.com
If you have a good experience with some kind of an non-interactive website or a book where an absolute beginner can start with basics would be useful too.

Thanks for suggestions.]]>
