By justice o'ertaken
He saved his bacon
By cutting a single slice of it;
For 'twas cut from the throat,
And we venture to quote
Death, hell and the grave as the price of it.

ReplyDeleteBacon smells wonderful when cooked, tastes wonderful when eaten, and serves as a good metaphor about commitment.
ReplyDeleteWhen you eat an eggs and bacon breakfast, the hen was involved, but the pig was committed.
BACON, n. - Whose bringing it home? LOL
ReplyDeleteSir Francis?
ReplyDeleteThe Southern Fried Scientist blog had an annual Bacon Blog War a few months ago. A bunch of oceanography doctoral candidates were tweeting back and forth like madmen for about a week. I returned @SFriedScientist's tweet and I said that Sir Francis Bacon was also a scientist. No one disputed that Bacon was a scientist. The Great Wikipedia also agreed. "Bacon has been called the father of empiricism.[2] His works established and popularized inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method or simply, the scientific method. He was one of a mysterious group of scientists who were killed by their own experiments.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly, my word verifier is kinesses which could be construed as a misspelling of kinesis which is a movement or activity in a cell or organism (such as an Amoeba) in respose to a stimuli.

I forgot to say that Sir Francis Bacon, the 1st Viscount Saint Alban, was born on 22 January 1561 and died on 9 April 1626, so he was 65 years old. During his (pathetic) lifetime, he was a scientist AND an English philosopher, statesman, lawyer, jurist and author.
ReplyDeleteOne time Sir Francis Bacon said, "A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner."

Another time Sir Francis Bacon said, "Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study."
ReplyDeleteNocab is bacon spelled backwards. :)

Sir Francis Bacon continued, "Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est."

Yes!!! You can see it happening at a pigsticking, and like any miracles, it can be difficult to handle.
Poobah, bacon is more than good, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAn excellent observation, TLP. To the pig!
Thom, the dogs.
Quilly, he'd be a fatback, yeah.
Karen, very enlightening.
Actonbell!
Thanks, Karen, for saving us all a trip to Wikipedia. From what I recall his married life was food that he chewed without swallowing with crushed ice for desert so I'll skip his advice before supper.
Pia, I'm not sure what you're being told but listen.
Jenn, that's intriguing.
Indeed, Jim.
Cooper, not if you don't marry.
And heaven on Earth, Bear. I'm with ya.
Ariel, that was well observed.
