A sociologist, a biologist, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train for their first visit to Scotland. As they cross the border, there's a black sheep in a field.
"Oh look, Scottish sheep are black" says the sociologist.
The biologist rolls their eyes and says "some Scottish sheep are black".
The physicist rolls their eyes, tuts, and says "there's at least one field in Scotland which contains black sheep.
The mathematician rolls their eyes, tuts and stands up in exasperation saying "there is at least one field in Scotland, which contains at least one sheep, one side of which is black!"
Accuracy is all.

Always thought it would be incredible to look at the Earth from space... dominated by man and his petty destructive forces on the surface, yet quietly going round the sun in the big wide universe covered in green and blue and white.

This reminds me of the one about the economist asked to count the total number of sheep in two fields. In one field there was a really large flock of sheep; in another, there was a single sheep, all on its own.
The economist confidently reported a total of 101 sheep, explaining. "well there's about 100 sheep in this field, and 1 sheep in that field".

Not bad for a photo from 3.7 billion miles away

Probably was when you wrote that. But if we assume BST (of course!!!), then it's probably tucked up in bed now, like all wise life-forms ...

What is the photo supposed to be? At first I thought it was a picture of me taken from Mars but the 3.7 billion miles rules that out.

When I ask Mrs A_T, the scientist, how a lump of meat can not only be alive in the first place but have conscious thoughts and do such incredible things independently... she doesn't know,
"It just does".
