Two-Hour Day One Prediction Of Cornellian
Thomas Midgely Jr. Guesses What 100 Years Will Bring
—Also Sees Age Banished, Start at Helping Other Planets-Chemists to Meet
Thomas Midgely Jr., vice president of the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation and a Cornell engineer of the class of '11, issued forecasts for the next 100 years, released by the American Chemical Society on the eve of the gathering in New York City of 10,000 scientists celebrating the tercentenary of chemistry in America.

A two-hour workday, complete defense for women and children in war, no more growing old but instead living a whole life at 22 or 35, and a start at giving Mars some water and Venus some oxygen in her atmosphere were among his predictions.
Doctor Midgley said the forecasts classify probabilities which do not overstep the boundaries of accepted natural laws, according to The Associated Press. Some of them are certain, others may be delayed and it is not now possible to predict which. But it is quite certain, he thought, that there will be an end of colds, flu, tuberculosis, septi-cemia, possibly cancer and many other ills.
In the synthetic home in the next century, he said, you will throw off the bed clothes by snapping your fingers, warm the room instantly by pushing a button, then throw your pajamas into the waste basket, for then cellulose goods will be so inexpensive it will be cheaper to throw the pajamas away than to launder them.

"Indigestion will be unknown." he said, "for with discovery of certain hormones in the stomach of the boa-constrictor, and their subsequent synthesis, it will no longer be necessary to stay up after eating in order to digest one's dinner
—just a boa pill and right to bed.
"Sleep will be undisturbed and bad dreams banished. There will be 'dream tablets,' chemicals inducing only pleasant dreams, or at choice other tablets stopping all dreams.
"Engineering." Doctor Midgley said, "is already waiting for chem. istry to give a fuel which will be capable of releasing more energy per pound than it is required to lift that pound out of the earth's gravitational field. Given such a fuel interplanetary travel will become a possibility."

one of the neat things about mathematics is how you can explain what a factorial is in a straightforward manner to any child who understands basic multiplication, but then if they’re the slightest bit curious they’ll ask “What’s 1.5! equal to?” and it’s like “you gotta wait to college to learn that”

one of those most embarrassing things that could happen to a person is being eaten by a creature. showing someone a picture of a guy and you have to say “this is my dad, he was eaten by a shark.” cringe.

and yet, when Judy Dench was cast as Old Deuteronomy in the psychotic fever dream that was 2019’s Cats, nobody cared. probably because they were still thinking about the roaches. remember that scene? remember when Ian McKellen drank milk from a saucer? remember that? do you remember seeing that?

Manqué
Article

For other uses, see Manqué (disambiguation).
A manqué (feminine manquée, from the French for
"missed") is a person who has failed to live up to a specific expectation or ambition. It is usually used in combination with a profession: for example, a career
civil servant with political prowess who nonetheless never attained political office might be described as a "politician manqué". It can also be used relative to a specific role model; a second-rate method actor might be referred to as a "Marlon Brando manqué".

i just learned that Carlos the Jackal got his nickname because the house he was staying at had a copy of Frederick Forsyth’s Day of the Jackal in it. there is no evidence that he actually read the book. imagine if the cops raid your place and find a copy of Moby Dick and now you’re Daryl the Dick

sometimes you’re reviewing a patient’s chart and you accidentally click on an ophthalmology note that you had no intention of actually reading but your eyes will catch a complete sentence like “Patient has reducing fluid under oil” and you just have to take it on faith that that makes sense.

on the bus today i overheard two young school girls talking about physics class. one said she didn’t really know what physics is and the other said “it’s, like, kinetic energy and stuff” and i thought “yeah that’s pretty much it: physics is stuff and energy.” hard to get more fundamental than that.

it rules that this is all they do now. not even try to wrestle with the facts or pursue even the appearance of the truth. just say “not uh” and repeat your initial accusation.
