Random thought on a Monday morning.

[flewellyn]

So, this morning, as I was driving to work, I reached an intersection in the semi-rural area north of town, near the bridge I cross to go to work. And, in the middle of this intersection, I saw a teapot, just randomly sitting there. Not broken or anything, just a small blue china teapot, in the middle of the road.

The thought which crossed my mind? "Goodness, did Russell's Teapot somehow fall to Earth? What are the odds?"

I don't see any compelling reason to believe that that happened.

Well played.

I cannot believe I had never heard of that analogy before.

Amusing.

As I read the beginning of this, I thought.... OMG he saw Russell's Teapot. And I scrolled down on my phone and there it was. Russell's Teapot.

That is amazing. I'd have taken it home, but I am a scavenger.
