Pondertorium News: September 2007 Archives
I thought I should give everyone a background on what the Pondertorium is, and who the crazy kid is who runs the place is. I have a feeling that people will eventually get to know me (the one they call The Baylow) after some time of reading my fine blog, but we're not at that point yet, and I'd say we have a ways to go.
The name Pondertorium comes from a ancient greek play called "The Clouds." The play was an attempt to mock the sophists of that time, and to include the very well known philosopher Socrates into that mix. In the play, Socrates is the headmaster of a school of "learning" called the Pondertorium. The place was actually just a hive of some of the stupidest thought you could ever imagine. It was a place where people's heads were so far up in the clouds that they couldn't see their feet. Of course, by the end of the play (SPOILER ALERT) the place was burned to the ground.
So too, I hope that this Pondertorium will be your source for heady psudo-knowledge about all sorts of topics. Your dear writer holds his interests in Video Games, Philosophy, International, and Domestic Politics so you can expect to see topics along those lines coming from me. However, I plan to invite some close friends to join the mix so you should be seeing even more from them.
"Take me where you will. I seek a throng, so that I may the better annihilate you."
