The Monday Morning Memo


Look at the left edge of the photo and you’ll see the gate into
the Zubiate Courtyard, the grand entrance to Spence Manor.

After we dig out all the dirt behind Rocinante, exposing the limestone shelf beneath, we’re going to create a cool “hanging out together” grotto beneath the cantilevered foundation of the gym. On the wall of that gym – right behind Rocinante – is going to be a big, bronze plaque with the name of Jonathan Berman and a couple of dozen other names on it. Would you like your name, or perhaps the name of someone else who should forever be remembered, to appear on that indestructible plaque? You can make that happen for a donation of just $1,000 or more. Whittington is going to be ordering that plaque soon so that it can be ready when the gym in finished. (This is all going to happen VERY quickly, trust me.) You can donate online or notify daniel@wizardacademy.org by email. Arooo. – Indy

Random Quote:

“Ben Franklin was the world’s most famous scientist in his day. But he’s not remembered in America as that; he’s remembered as a founding father.

He invents the lightning rod. What’s the tallest structure back then? The steeple makes the church the tallest structure in any city. What is the most susceptible to a lightning strike? The tallest structure. So lightning was taking out churches left and right, and if you were the other church that wasn’t taken out, you had good argument for saying the people in the church that burned down were worshiping in the wrong way.

Ben Franklin then invents the lightning rod, which does two things: It dissipates charges that build up under your structure that would otherwise be part of the lightning strike, and it sends them back into the air without the benefit of lightning. So that makes you less susceptible to begin with. And if the lightning strikes it, then it directs all of the charge through the metal and not through your house.

So Ben Franklin does this, and churches are no longer destroyed by lightning, even if they’re hit, and he’s accused of heresy for thwarting the will of God.”

- Neil deGrasse Tyson
