What a strange coincidence…

[Click to enlarge]

Okay, I remember, from a long-ago philosophy class, that the etymology of the word “atom” translated into “indivisible/non-cutable particle".  

Wiktionary defines "atom" thusly:

"The word "atom" originates from the Ancient Greek word "atomos," meaning "indivisible." This term is composed of the prefix "a-" (meaning "not") and "tomos" (meaning "cut"). The word passed through Latin as "atomus" and Middle French as "athome" before entering Middle English as "attome". Thus, the etymology reflects the philosophical concept of atoms as the smallest, indivisible particles of matter."

Jillatte.com (I think it’s some sort of religious site) asks the same question:

"Is it coincidental that these two words and identifications associated with these; nouns, person, and creations; are so commonly linked to each other? The Adam and atom form the basis of life. Adam was the first man, and by understanding creation, we know that each and every one of us can be linked back to his makeup. Interestingly enough, the atom is the basic unit of matter, which makes up everything in the universe apart from energy."

Religious site or not, don’t [sic] matter.  The question remains.

Q: What do you make of this strange and freaky coincidence?  Let your mind wander and wonder. 😉  Can you so lightly dismiss it??  If yes, how so?

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the  PERAVES CZ  company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...

Is this a joke?

 I would like to ask any of my Canadian friends what they think of Trudeau's response to the impending tariffs imposed on Canada by Trump. I mean, I hope most Canadians would be MORE outraged than to simply suggest......... to forgo Florida orange juice and Kentucky bourbon He said: “It might mean checking the labels at the supermarket and picking Canadian made products. It might mean opting for Canadian rye over  Kentucky  bourbon  , or forgoing  Florida  orange juice altogether. “It might mean changing your summer vacation plans to stay here in Canada and explore the many national and provincial parks, historical sites and tourist destinations our great country has to offer.” https://www.newsbreak.com/the-independent-517119/3787648131075-trudeau-tells-canadians-to-forgo-florida-orange-juice-and-kentucky-bourbon-after-trump-s-aggressive-tariff Is this a joke?
