My weight is all toned, athletic, muscle. To brag, just a little. You're the man. Hahaha. I'm starting to like this thread. It's making me feel all good about myself and stuff. A nice cover for my possible deep-seated insecurities and self-doubts. Ditto to that.
I need to get acquainted with sanity. Rantings, rantings and more rantings. Seriously.

The bubble breaking doesn't really do much, mine breaks and inflates on a regular basis. Thanks Nietzsche, you made my life interesting.
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke, everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum... Curtains.

I am more interested in questions than answers; dialog than dictation. If we can reasonably believe that there is not just a breach, but a fundamentally unclosable gap between the individual mind and the ultimate nature of the reality; the primordial thing in itself, then 'true' mystery does exist.

Maybe you could give me an answer. :-)

Our of pure curiosity I read about fullerenes. It seems that a spheric shape for a fullerene is possible, commonly known as "buckyballs". I still think how could a "buckyball" support it's own structure. Internal pressure?... About the second question. I don't know, but would like to know.
