Duke the menace

[Duke of Buckingham]

An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
William Faulkner

A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower.

"1. Spider-Man has reflexes much faster than any human. Jesus is supposed to be a god, yes, but he's also, more importantly, a man. And Spider-Man is faster than a lot of gods, anyway, as shown by his defeat of Firelord and Thanos. Spider-Man could react really quickly to anything Jesus would like to do." -- why Spider-Man could beat Jesus, by David Henry

DUKE Crazy for Summer

[Duke of Buckingham]

I am really bad at computers. I am bad as anyone can be. But somehow I love/hate computers as I should, don't you? I love them almost as I hate them. They are my worst nightmare but sometimes they come into my dream...

Video Duke vacations for a week. I will let Einstein running for the team. and I will be there for you.

[EmSti]

I understand the love/hate relationship with computers. I troubleshoot system problems for a living and I often remind folks on the the real hard problems - "If it were easy, they wouldn't need us." They drive me mad, but it pays the bill and funds the computing charity hobby. Full circle.

Thanks EmSti. Meanwhile 2 things is always good to remind before going on vacations. I wanted to know your opinion on this 2 issues.

Hippocratic Oath
Original, translated into English

I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:

To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own sons, and to my teacher's sons, and to disciples bound by an indenture and oath according to the medical laws, and no others.

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.

I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.

In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.

All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.
