NoLL
I was sitting on a park bench reading the newspaper when the above apple fell out of a tree and hit me on the head. Wow! I thought. Just like Newton. This must be the epiphany moment when some of the mysteries of life and the universe will be revealed to me. How blessed I am. Newton became famous for centuries because of his apple.
I waited and waited. No mystery of the universe appeared. Wait! Can that be the truth, that there is no God and no meaning? Nah. No way can I claim that a non-existent entity revealed a secret by not revealing anything. Not even Nostradamus could get away with a baloney claim like that. I guess my apple wasn't big enough.
Later in the day I did learn a surprising truth and a secret, but it was not at all what I expected. The WIFI at the Vergennes library works well when it is up but it crashes frequently. Today the librarian told me that the WIFI crashes whenever the phone rings at the front desk. I don't suppose I'll get to be famous for explaining that secret to the world.

Sir Isaac Newton has nothing on you! Should I expect my WIFI to crash the next time the phone rings? I feel a bit stressed. Thanks for the thought provoking post.
