Mullfoto of the Day

Walking around Georgetown last weekend, I stopped to chat with a young man who was handing out bumperstickers thinking he was involved in something important. This was the approximate conversation:

ME:     What's "zendik?"
KID:     It's a Sanskrit word that means, like, out of the ordinary.
ME:     I thought Sanskrit was a non-written language.
KID:     It is.
ME:     Isn't "zendik" written on that bumper strip?
KID:     (Worried about what he has gotten into) Well, yeah.
ME:     If Sanskrit is a non-written language, how can that word - written right there - be Sanskrit?
KID:     I, uh, look ...
ME:     Kind of an existential dilemma, isn't it?
KID:     I guess so.
ME:     Out of the ordinary, sort of?
KID:     Uh huh.
ME:     Zendik.

I do not, as you may have noticed, have much of a life.

See? This ... THIS is why I'm for global warming. Naked protests in January!
