Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd May, 2018.

3rd May, 2018.

Yes: it’s Thursday, it 3rd May … 

And it’s something like a tenth day, working, in a row.

Boy, I’m looking forward to Sunday, though.

That’s my next day off!

~≈§≈~

That’s a thought … 

There was a piece of news that caught my eye, the other day.

It seems noted blogger, Logan Paul, has decided to slow down on his daily YouTube posts.

I envy his advertising revenue, I really do.

But, on the other hand?

Keep thinking “Ya wimp … !”

He should maybe keep doing something for a decade!

Let’s move on, shall we?

Here’s a thought …

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar‘ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?”

Sandi Toksvig, born 3 May 1958.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Yes, that’s the second posting of two, Olga: but, given the circumstances?!   I’ll let you off!   I’m assuming things are frantic … ?

†        It”s odd, Certainly.   But I actually saw Forbidden Planet several years before I saw Police Squad, or Naked Gun.   Or the Red Rock adverts!   You do know the film’s based — loosely — on The Tempest?
