Quote of the Day: Being Right, Wrong, or Completely, Impossibly Clueless

Here is a hilariously piquant little thought:
The nuclear physicist Wolfgang Pauli used to say of unsolicited student theses: “It’s not even wrong”, as if to suggest that being wrong would at least mean it was in the approximate area of being right.
The article in which this recollection appears is in itself a most read-worthy bit of social observation!  (Hmmm ... What DO my possessions say about me?)  OH, and I can't resist this bit of art criticism from that same article:
 ... there is good art, [and] there is bad art. Then there is good bad art and bad good art. The Miliband Painting is bad bad art. It is kitsch.
Oh, snap!
