A question I did not anticipate asking while taking the bus

"Why is there a boat blocking the road?"

As reported in many places

Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we’d all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.

But then armed officers stormed my plane, threw me in handcuffs and locked me up.

MonkeyGod
Program to generate toy universes with different values of four physical constants. Note the emphasis on "toy." This is a very simple program that makes no attempt to generate a universe in detail. Its main purpose is to demonstrate that long-lived stars, which are probably required for the evolution of life, does not depend on some "fine tuning" of the constants of nature but occurs for a wide range of parameters. It also shows that the large number coincidence first proposed by Weyl is not uncommon.
