The adventures of GREGGERY PECCARY! |
||
Is it kind of funny coincidence or an intentional pun on the name of famous Hollywood star? | ||
|
||
"...including mathematician and astronomer Christopher Clavius...agreed with the ten-day correction but believed that they should be dropped all at once. Gregory took this advice and shortened October of A.D. 1582 by ten days. Thursday, October 4, 1582 (Julian) was followed immediately by Friday, October 15, 1582 (Gregorian). | ||
Gregory completed modification of the old intercalation rule by specifying that any year whose number ended with 00 must also be evenly divisible by 400 in order to have a 29-day February. He also changed the ecclesiastical table of moon phases used to help determine Easter's date." | ||

Does it matter that this waste of time Is what makes a LIFE for you? Hmmmmm? I must plummet boldly forward To my ULTRA-AVANT Laminated, Simulated Replica-mahogany desk, With the strategically-placed, Imported, very hip water pipe, |

And with that. GREGGARY turned And strode nonchalantly Into his dinky little office With the desk and the catalog And the very hip water pipe. And proceeded, With a vigor and determination Known only to piglets Of a similarly diminutive proportion, To single-handedly invent THE CALENDAR! |

But, here is it, the great chunck of Frank The Philostopher theory | ||
Frank Zappa. The Mother Of All Interviews, by Donn Menn (DM) and Matt Groening (MG) Zappa! From The Publishers Of Keyboard And Guitar Player p.64 |
||
MG: Let's talk abput your ideas of time. | ||
FZ: Well, I think that everything is happening all the time, and the only reason why we think of time lineary is because we are conditioned to do it. That's because the human idea of stuff is: it has a begginig and it has an end. I don't think that's necessarily true. You think of time as a constant, a spherical constant -- | ||
MG: -- in which -- | ||
FZ: -- Everything's happening all the time, always did. always will... | ||
MG: So this coffee cup -- | ||
FZ: -- Was always full, and always empty -- | ||
MG: -- and it's always being drunk, and it's always being heated -- | ||
FZ: -- And it's alawys being thrown, and the guy was always painting it, and so on and so forth. Everything is always. | ||
MG: Why does this empty cup make sense to me? | ||
MG: You know what I mean, though? | ||
FZ: Is that a Zen question? | ||
MG: No, why do I go, "Oh, I have already - the cup that I drank no longer appears to be full." | ||
FZ: Well, because it is not full at this particular version of -- | ||
FZ: We're dealing with time in a quasi-practical manner. We have devised our own personal universe and lifestyle that is ruled by time sliced this way, and we progress from notch to notch, day by day, and you just learn to meet your deadlines that way. That's only for human covenience. That, to me, is not a good explanation of how thing really work. I seems just as feasible to me that everything is happening all the time. And whether you believe you coffe cup is full or not is irrelevant. It's like -- here's another way to explain it. What something is depends more on when it is than anything else. You can't define something accurately until you understand where it is. | ||
MG: When in time. | ||
FZ: Yeah, when is what. Without the perfect understanding of when, you've got nothing to deal with, see? 'Cause you analyze that cup of cofee a little bit earlier, and it's full. In a few minutes, you'll kick it over, and it won't even exist anymore. The state of the cup is determined by when you're perceiving it. | ||
DM: Which means that the future has already happened. | ||
FZ: Yeah. And the reason why I feel so strongly about this is, you know, this is one of the better explanation for why people can have premonitions, because instead of looking ahead, they're just looking around. You don't have to look ahead to see the future. You can look over there. | ||

Unfortunately, There were some people Who simply DID NOT WISH TO KNOW, And that's why, On his way home from the office one night, GREGGERY was attacked By a RAGE OF HUNCHMEN! |

Making his way through the evening traffic, GREGGERY notices that the other vehicles which crowd and bump his little red car are all inhabited by slowly-aging 'VERY HIP YOUNG PEOPLE', |

GREGGERY takes a bumpy trail off the main SHORT FOREST ROAD, which leads him up the side of a FAMOUS (and convenientlv placed) MOUNTAIN, and into a strange |

Meanwhile, the enraged HUNCHMEN (and HUNCH-'WOMEN) rumble through the SHORT FOREST until (realizing the little swine has escaped, they decide to park their steaming vehicles in a circular pseudo wagon-train formation. . . |
