Gutter's 5 Questions For It Is National Way Too Many Different Things Today Day 9/7/24

1. Besides it being 9,4352,949 other "national" things day today, it is national Grandma Moses Day.
I admit I knew of Grandma Moses but I didn't know much about Grandma Moses - so I read a little bit about her this morning.
Which of these following paintings of her's is your favorite?

a.

b.

c.

d.

e.

f.

2. I woke up this morning in a good mood. It quickly changed when 3 different things frustrated me. Then, it got better.
If you had to guess, on a scale of 1-100 (1 being no to very little frustration, and 100 being the most frustrating day possible) how frustrating do you think your day will be as a whole?

3. I ponder weird things, such as, if the Earth is so heavy, how does it stay up and not continuously fall down. Fuck gravity and "orbit", if I jump up I fall down. There may be a somewhat easy explanation but it's still something I have a difficult time comprehending. Just as I have mentioned, I have an extremely difficult time comprehending that there are supposedly more stars in the solar system than there are grains of sand on Earth.
Anyway/s, without doing an internet search and/or without looking at other people's responses, how many trees do you think there are on Earth?

4. Northwestern Football lost a heartbreaker last night. Besides KU, what is your favorite college football team?

5. If you had to pick a favorite TV show character out of the following choices, who would you choose?
a. George Jefferson (The Jeffersons)
b. Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger (M*A*S*H)
c. Michael Casimir "Mike" "MEATHEAD" Stivic (All in the Family)
d. Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu (Star Trek)
e. Dwight Schrute (The Office)
f. Ralph Malph (Happy Days)
g. Fred Sanford (Sanford and Son)
h. Velma Dinkley (Scooby Doo)
i. Rose Nylund (Golden Girls)
j. Lucy Ricardo (I Love Lucy)

5 - one of these things is not like the others
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

* it is, it's constantly falling, at roughly 67,000 MPH. Weight only exists because of gravity. On earth you jump up and fall down against the earth. The earth is constantly falling due to the gravitational pull of the sun. It's falling so quickly that it consistently misses its target flies by it and is slingshotted back around to fall in the other direction.....in perpetuity (hopefully).
