Given that we are strange eggs in the cusp, and often unstuck in time, it is hard to know what spelling to apply to this cognitive activity. Suffice it to say that cognitive appreciation of what goes on in the human mind is illusive if not downright impossible.

Strange eggs in the cusp, often unstuck in time. My favorite post of the day, thanks.

OK. Not fair to have book worm jokes embedded on a public bog. We're speaking in the language of the Stranger in a Strange Land. A classic if you have not read and grokked it.

D'oh! Read it when it was first written, didn't recognize it here and admired the alien quality of thought. (And I would have put down "unstuck in time" to Billy Pilgrim and the Tralfamadorians). (Which, as Dave Barry might note, would be a great name for a rock band).

Yes, you are right. The "unstuck in time" phrase should have been attributed to Slaughterhouse Five. Sorry.
