Friend: What, measles?
Me: Well, yeah, that too. But, I meant ignorance.
@kimlockhartga Einstein: "The only two infinite things are the universe and human ignorance...and we're not sure about the universe".
@SonofaGeorge @kimlockhartga The universe is pretty definitively not infinite, so that pretty much narrows it down to just the one thing now.
@kimlockhartga I think they may be siblings (ignorance and measles)
@kimlockhartga Ignorance sure seems to be contagious sometimes doesn't it?
@kimlockhartga we should've heeded George Carlin's warnings all those years ago.
@kimlockhartga "a great astronomer said: 'Two things are infinite, as far as we know — the universe and human stupidity.' Today we know that this statement is not quite correct. Einstein has proved that the universe is limited."
