Why Is The Batter Out Before The Ball Is Caught?

by Balk posted @8:20 AM

There's something very Zen about this correction: "An article on April 14 about John Grunsfeld, an astronaut who is scheduled to lead the final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope, referred incorrectly to the capacity of the indoor pool where Dr. Grunsfeld does some training for the mission. The pool holds 6 million gallons, not 11 million. The article also described incorrectly the events leading to his decision to return to the United States after working in Tokyo. Dr. Grunsfeld was living in a Zen monastery, meditating in the morning and then going to work at the University of Tokyo. He came home early one day and found the monks watching baseball on television, breaking the spell of his experience there. He did not find the monks playing baseball."

    I know this peace, of being able to slide into home without ever leaving the couch.

    Charlie don't surf and monks don't play baseball.

    What, they should've been watching speed-eating?
