- Не ме познахте май! - засмя се шофьорът на таксито. Тя го позна още в първия миг, но не можеше да повярва, че такъв човек съществува. Той бързаше, дори не влезе вътре. Колата го чакала долу с хора. Разказа на крак одисеята на романа. Намерил ръкописа чак в края на смяната си. Съобразил, че в тези страници е вложен доста труд главно от машинописката. Изправен пред невъзможността да ги занесе на притежателя, той се заел да издири адреса чрез семейството в Бояна, пред чиято вила бе запомнил, че е оставил една завеяна пътница. Разбира се, само по предположение, че може би измежду многобройните му и многолики клиенти тя е била злополучната авторка. А може след полунощ на заспиване да е попрочел някоя и друга глава от романа и да е отгатнал зад редовете силуета на една странна птица, неориентирана за посоките на града и света, изгубена и тъжна. И много смешна. Тя стоеше на прага, изумена и щастлива, не вече от връщането на ръкописа, а от самото откриване на такъв човек. И от нещо друго: в неговото младо, насмешливо лице тя позна чудесния Случай, който й подсказваше, че има смисъл героите й да продължат да живеят - може и на тях да се падне да пътуват с такси № 28-29 из София, карано от един млад, мълчалив по време на пътуването шофьор. Пожелавам живот. ↗
J. E. Littlewood, a mathematician at Cambridge University, wrote about the law of truly large numbers in his 1986 book, "Littlewood's Miscellany." He said the average person is alert for about eight hours every day, and something happens to the average person about once a second. At this rate, you will experience 1 million events every thirty-five days. This means when you say the chances of something happening are one in a million, it also means about once a month. The monthly miracle is called Littlewood's Law. ↗
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. ↗
The theory of phlogiston was an inversion of the true nature of combustion. Removing phlogiston was in reality adding oxygen, while adding phlogiston was actually removing oxygen. The theory was a total misrepresentation of reality. Phlogiston did not even exist, and yet its existence was firmly believed and the theory adhered to rigidly for nearly one hundred years throughout the eighteenth century. ... As experimentation continued the properties of phlogiston became more bizarre and contradictory. But instead of questioning the existence of this mysterious substance it was made to serve more comprehensive purposes. ... For the skeptic or indeed to anyone prepared to step out of the circle of Darwinian belief, it is not hard to find inversions of common sense in modern evolutionary thought which are strikingly reminiscent of the mental gymnastics of the phlogiston chemists or the medieval astronomers. To the skeptic, the proposition that the genetic programmes of higher organisms, consisting of something close to a thousand million bits of information, equivalent to the sequence of letters in a small library of one thousand volumes, containing in encoded form countless thousands of intricate algorithms controlling, specifying and ordering the growth and development of billions and billions of cells into the form of a complex organism, were composed by a purely random process is simply an affront to reason. But to the Darwinist the idea is accepted without a ripple of doubt - the paradigm takes precedence! ↗

I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way. ↗
