    I’ve always liked this story because it tells us so much about when it was first told. Things like knowing the sun is high, but no idea about how high. And simply assuming that, like the ships they used, it wouldn’t be possible to fly at night.

    Pride goeth before the fall.

    I once tried to get my aircraft to do more than it was capable of doing. I was not as good as I thought I was. Mother Nature took me over her knee and gave my pride a good spanking. She did not put me in permanent time-out. I survived with stained underwear, diminished hubris and a giant increase in wisdom.

    The fable has nothing to do with science, but entirely about children not listening to the wisdom of their elders.

    That’s what happens when you don’t pay for updates.

    some people are entirely too reliant on technology. One thing we had to take into account when pocket calculators started popping up in math class.

    Old joke: Mexican and American were bragging about their respective nations Eventually, American said, “We’re the first country who went to the moon.” Mexican replied, "Well, we Mexicans will be the first country who sent to the sun. American said, "That’s stupid. You can’t go to the sun. You’ll get burned to death. Mexican said, “You’re the stupid one. We’ll go at night!” (I heard this in high school over 50 years ago. Never forgot it., Happy New Year, everybody—un prospero ano nuevo!
