Glass vs Wheel Wheel vs Glass vs.

December 30, 2025 by Exangel

by Jim Meirose.

Court Jesters!             All Rise!

This next slate of statistics portrays all vitals necessary to compute the result if any debate as to whether the invention of glass or the discovery of the wheel bears greater importance.

GLASS: vitale statisticcommo-gluggli(((((((oPanama City))))))) ;

Letter G; 2.4705%         12.59

Letter L; 5.4893%         27.98

Letter A; 8.4966%         43.31

Letter S: 5.7351%          29.23                                           nipper

Letter W; 1.2899%        6.57

Letter H; 3.0034%         15.31

Letter E; 11.1607%        56.88

Letter L; 5.4893%          27. nip nip nip nipper 98

Seek and ye shall find = / = Okay, so; you may use these facts and figures at your leisure to play at a game of seeing how many correctly calculated mathematical proofs you can generate to justify the dominance of wheel nip nip nip nipper over glass nip nip nip nipper or vice versa, and you will learn much much much of a useful nature of the d(a)e(i o u a)e(iou)p characteristics of the right vs. wrong of a thing, (and also, of course, of the wrong vs. right of that very “same” thing) that being that most anything can be proven false, but not everything can be found completely true, which nipper should be no surprise, since—the sin of nip nip nip nipper Adam and nip nip nip nipper Eve in the garden instantly crippled all future humanity nip nip nip nipper with original sin which is punished by mankind being hobbled by a fallen nature, plus a propensity toward evil. And, we won’t go no fotha’ there leave that to you and your TI-99s which no one still uses but turns a cute phrase which it is that the answer is glass, since glass was not merely encountered in nature as was the wheel, where with pebbles rocks hailstones and other circulational naturals acting according the law of gravity when placed on slant surfaces, whereas glass had to be thought of, learned about {as what were the ingredients going to be of this—glass; and what was the process of bringing these ingredients there does not seem to be a clue et cetera, but, the real kicker is this. This simple sentence; “How to make glass.” Good sentence eh? (Juhla!) :please: thank you. Now here’s the same sentence with wheel replacing glass; “How to make wheel.”

What? All wrong. Enunciate more clearly. (But what’s—) no no no do not change your place now do it.                     okay okay

“How to make wheel.” Sounds wrong Repeat (But what’s that odd light out—) no do not change your place now do it.                     ‘kay

“How to make wheel.” Still sounds wrong Repeat (But what’s that odd light out—there get up and—see? May I please oh pretty oh please take a moment to—) no do not change your place now do it.                     ‘kay

In The News.

That cult classic pirate/sci fi mash up GREENBEARD, by Richard James Bentley, is now a rollicking audiobook, available from Audible.com. Narrated and acted by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio, you’ll be overwhelmed by the riches and hilarity within.

“Captain Sylvestre de Greybagges is your typical seventeenth-century Cambridge-educated lawyer turned Caribbean pirate, as comfortable debating the virtues of William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, and compound interest as he is wielding a cutlass, needling archrival Henry Morgan, and parsing rum-soaked gossip for his next target. When a pepper monger’s loose tongue lets out a rumor about a fleet loaded with silver, the Captain sets sail only to find himself in a close encounter of a very different kind.

After escaping with his sanity barely intact and his beard transformed an alarming bright green, Greybagges rallies The Ark de Triomphe crew for a revenge-fueled, thrill-a-minute adventure to the ends of the earth and beyond.

This frolicsome tale of skullduggery, jiggery-pokery, and chicanery upon Ye High Seas is brimming with hilarious puns, masterful historical allusions, and nonstop literary hijinks. Including sly references to Thomas Pynchon, Treasure Island, 1940s cinema, and notable historical figures, this mélange of delights will captivate readers with its rollicking adventure, rich descriptions of food and fashion, and learned asides into scientific, philosophical, and colonial history.”

THE SUPERGIRLS is back, revised and updated!

The first discussion was a lively blast. You can watch it here. The second, Looking Back to Look Forward can be seen here.

The third was the best of all. Visions of the Future, with a cast of characters including poets, audiobook artists, historians, Starhawk, and Mary Shelley. Among others. Link is here.

SNOTTY SAVES THE DAY is now an audiobook, narrated by Last Word Audio’s mellifluous Colby Elliott. It launched May 10th, but for a limited time, you can listen for free with an Audible trial membership. So what are you waiting for? Start listening to the wonders of how Arcadia was born from the worst section of the worst neighborhood in the worst empire of all the worlds since the universe began.

If you love audio books, don’t miss the new release of REPORT TO MEGALOPOLIS, by Tod Davies, narrated by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio. The tortured Aspern Grayling tries to rise above the truth of his own story, fighting with reality every step of the way, and Colby’s voice is the perfect match for our modern day Dr. Frankenstein.

Tod on the Importance of Visionary Fiction

Check out this video of “Beyond Utopia: The Importance of Fantasy,” Tod’s recent talk at the tenth World-Ecology Research Network Conference, June 2019, in San Francisco. She covers everything from Wind in the Willows to the work of Kim Stanley Robinson, with a look at The History of Arcadia along the way. As usual, she’s going on about how visionary fiction has an important place in the formation of a world we want and need to have.
