In the Illiad why is Nestor so unconcerned with his general surrounding (Book 11), he drinks with his injured friend without pausing to remember the extreme chaos that is very close to him. What is it with old bumbling men and their inability to properly react to a situation. Is Nestor delusional, a romantic, a culture hero or a god? Please respond google doesn't understand

The fact that I could not answer your question at all made me feel very insecure. I considered reading Book 11 of the Illiad to look for clues in the text, but decided on reflection that it would be more constructive to go out and get plastered. Sorry, that's the best I could do.

You review of Sabine's new book was weird to say the least. You are not a physicist, I assume. And the way you look at research as similar to gambling shows your lack of education. A truly dumb-ass, irresponsible, and nasty view of physics or science in general. Maybe you should concentrate on gambling and poker which seem to be your favorite pass times . Do you get it?

I have this theory that you don't actually exist. Well, you may have existed at one point but then sold your account to Amazon. Not sure. Now you are this avatar created by Amazon to spread awareness of their book by being witty with encyclopedic understanding of most subjects. And the guys at Amazon who manage this avatar thought it would be funny to make you hate their own company. Can you prove otherwise?
