Jazu is a 51 year old guy from Lohja, Uusimaa, Finland
My everlasting love of historư started at the elementary school at tender age of nine, when I read The 600 pages of Pocket World History, admittedly skipping the dull parts about culture... I have studied history, political history, political science and journalism in universities of Turku and Tampere, but have never graduated from neither. A brief but tempestous polical career blew the man premately to to wide world from the comforting womb of university. A more steady career in journalism followed and I have been a professional writer and journalist for the past 20 years. At present I live in a small town in a small house with a wife, two not so small teenagers, two middle-sized dogs and 14 fish of various sizes. By day I work as a journalist writing about local economy in our local newspaper. Its a job i have held for the past 17 years. In the evenings and week-ends I repair the computers of the good citizens of our little town as a private entrepreneur.

Rated • 1 review • humanities, teapot, bertrand russell • blogs.fi
The classical case of teapots in orbit has been in use for over half a century now, but the need to use it has sadly not abated. Bertrand Russell did show with his reasoning how the reasoning of the theist is based firmly on breath of thin air.

"Bergeron's epitaph for the planet, I remember, which he said should be carved in big letters in a wall of the Grand Canyon for the flying-saucer people to find, was this: WE COULD HAVE SAVED IT BUT WE WERE TOO DOGGONE CHEAP Only he didn't say 'doggone.'" - Kurt Vonnegut in "Hocus Pocus" (1990)

Leaving the messy, dangerous and polluting fossil fuel economy to the childhood of mankind and transferring to use all kinds of renewable sources of energy there is on offer is of course a very practical and rational preposition.

From the page: "There has always been a certain nostalgia for the good old days of swords and knights, but all too often people forget that these were good old days were also the days when men cut other men to pieces with big knives and hacked off whole limbs with axes!"
