Please enjoy my first post. Read it very carefully. There is nothing unusual about it.

Do I dare do this? Post to a blog where the surrounding populous might recognize my pen name? Well, I suppose it is okay. I am really just trying to keep the Google hits on my real name to a minimum. There are already too many of them... And besides, if I ever had a halo, it as long since been tarnished. So, here goes. Take a deep breath, pretend that you have something valuable to say to help a fellow soldier, ignore the sensation nagging at you from the back of your head saying that you might actually be a Nut yourself, and let your fingers fly...

In a previous post I put forth a supposition that perhaps there are six types of Nuts in the world. I have since been proven to be quite wrong. In fact, if you care to read on, I will confess that based on discovery of recent evidence, I have had to change my supposition. Yes, you heard right. Double minded and perhaps even unstable. But I would rather confess and have you know the truth, then to leave you in ignorance believing a lie. So without further ado, I will reveal to you what I have learned.

There are far more than six Nuts in the world.

Again, you heard right: more than six. In fact, we appear to be observing a kind of columniation or nucleation and perhaps even a propagation of the Nuts. Yes, it is true. There two highly scientific effects illustrated here. I will take them in order.

The first, we will call the Law of Nut Nucleation. This effect is similar to the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together or the forces between quarks and other subatomic particles. It has been termed by some as the “Nut Force.” Perhaps, you could say, “Nuts of feather…” Anyways, there is some danger to this. It is similar to that of U235 or Pu239. (The highly radioactive isotopes of Uranium and Plutonium.) If large quantities are placed together with the just the right (or wrong) amount of neutron moderation, fission results. And, the rest is history.

The second, we will call the Law of Propagation. This is by far the most dangerous. It is the means by which Nuts spread and more Nuts are created. It is a byproduct of nucleation and is similar to radioactive propagation. For this reason, it may be highly expedient to place potential nuts in an elliptical orbit around some distant planet (A large dense Nut) to prevent further propagation. Though, I an not sure yet...

I certainly don’t mean to cast a dark shadow on Nutdom, or dim the glow of Nuthood. I was just contemplating the deeper thoughts of the Nut and sanity. I don’t often wax eloquent, and when I do, it is more like science. However, if you think long and hard about this, you might come up with a NUTritious thought or two. Well, until next time, and until then. And before I am accused of wasting time again...

Trying extra hard to resist the Nut force in my life as long as is conceivable,

Anybody feel for me?

That Ol'Pat dude is my teacher.

Good sir - do you mind if I copy your above digression and send it to the Denver Post? I am sure they would publish it without hesitation.

Your faithful fellow nut,

Jeorge.

P.S.
Who did you have in mind when you mentioned the especially dense nut?

Olde pat,

Say what? Too many big words!

I think Olde Pat is the dense headed nut.
