Wikipedia has a good article on it. The Nietzschean version is a little darker than your interpretation, and a little deeper, as it considers the psychological and philosophical implications of eternal recurrence. If everything is to repeat itself over and over again, what does that mean for us as human beings? We'll repeat the same mistakes endlessly throughout time, never correcting ourselves. We'll suffer the same hurts again and again. But we'll also experience the same joys over and over again. Nietzsche asks, is this desirable? And he claims that if one answers yes, then one is affirming life completely, as one wants everything in life to be repeated eternally. Quite a beautiful idea, I'd say.

Take it further (yeah, try!) and realize that if the monkey really has infinite time, he will probably produce Shakespearean plays not just one or twice, but an infinite number of times. (To compound the nerdery of this post, that relates to the Battlestar Galactica maxim: “All this has happened before and all this will happen again.” Which itself comes, interestingly enough, from Disney’s Peter Pan.)

]]> Comment on SuperShadow Star Wars Trilogy Disjointed, Disappointing by suttler http://contentgrrl.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/lucas-next-trilogy-draft-disjointed-disappointing/#comment-379 suttler Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:08:44 +0000 http://contentgrrl.wordpress.com/?p=100#comment-379 below are the jedi commandments that are to be followed by all star wars fans effective immediately (these commandments were done by george lucas and supershadow collectively) 1. thou shalt not question the infallibility of george lucas or his creations explaination: lucas can only make things that are total in their perfection. if a star wars film fails at the box office , it is not a failing of lucas. REMEMBER: George lucas cannot make mistakes!!! It is the fault of you the fans by not going to the cinema enough. 2. thou shalt spend at least 20 per cent of income per month on star wars merchandise explaination: a true star wars fan will always ensure the star wars story is continually sold. We must ensure that our money gets to lucasfilm. We owe it to george lucas. he has only you (the star wars fan)'s interest at heart. remember when passing a toy shop,do go in and buy star wars merchandise(figureens, star wars books etc). do not think of the money , only that you honour lucas with each purchase. 3. thou shalt always ensure to the best of my ability that all new star wars releases are box office smash hits Explaination: a true star wars fan will go to any new star wars film in the cinema at least 30 times!!!. It is imperative that you take time off work, start at the 3:30 showing and then all the repeat showings until the cinema closes. If all star wars fans obeyed this commandment all future star wars films would knock titanic off the top pedestal If you are unable to get time off work, simply calculate the cost of going 30 times and send this amount to supershadow.com 4. do shalt within my lifetime visit lucasfilm (skywalker ranch) at least once. Explaination: true star wars fans are obliged to visit sky walker ranch which is the birth place of jedi when there, please do all the guided tours (their is a discount if all taken together) however if a star wars fan is coming close to the end of his/her life and has not yet made the pilgrimage, he/she must leave at least 20 per cent of they're estate at death to george lucas and lucas film. lucas will remember that person as if they had made the pilgrimage 5. Thou shalt not suffer anyone to ridicule star wars or george lucas Explaination: a true star wars fan will not suffer the star wars story, movies , characters, special effects to be ridiculed by the foolish. ie should a friend or family member ridicule jar jar binks, you must disown that person even though they may be your flesh and blood. lucas expects nothing less. dont not use violence-just walk away. the jedi religion is a religion of peace. below are the jedi commandments that are to be followed by all star wars fans effective immediately

(like that movie "Big"). My brother very much is grown up-i.e. he wants to watch the big guy stuff on T.V. and wants to do what most hormonally managed dudes want to do, and yet when he is sad/scared/or mad he acts like a 5 year old.
