Dawkins has had a stroke

Post by mistermack » Wed Feb 17, 2016 9:13 pm

Described as a mild one. Or slight one.
Whatever that means.

Nasty things. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Well, I would I suppose, but I'm not proud of it.

Anyway, I wish Richard Dawkins a swift and full recovery.

Be careful not to pray for him. The twitterati will be all over you if you do.

I expect he's already returned to the faith.

Just like Darwin did on his deathbed. And that's a fact !

Hey, have you heard that Nicolaus Copernicus died of a stroke?

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Yeh. Till next time. Or that's how he will be thinking.
I would, in his shoes.

But then, I'm expecting one of my own, any day. As you get older, the odds get shorter.
