>> BOB: So Sue, how have you been sense making all this new knowledge.
>> SUE: Well Bob, I liken it to a washing machine? Something domestic.
>> BOB: You do? How’s that Sue.
>> SUE: One of those Whirlpool top loaders Bob, the sort that has an agitator in the
middle. This course has been agitating the core of my brain. What’s more when I try
to fill it up with too much it gets out of balance and clunks.
>> BOB: Clunks, how does clunking relate to learning Sue?
>> SUE: Clunking is when you get overloaded and just can’t take anymore, you want to
pull your hair out and poor *** over your WiFi.
>> BOB: Geez Sue, I don’t feel like that! But why ***.
>> SUE: And sometimes I run hot with enthusiasm and then cold through neglect by you others.
Do you know what hot water does to clothes Bob? The dye runs, and the clothes shrink.
When I get hot with enthusiasm for study, it colours my thinking, people run and my
life shrinks.
>> BOB: I think you need to change your washing machine Sue!
>> SUE: And, as for spinning with a whirlpool, it completely eradicates any excess moisture.
In fact, it pretty much dries the clothes. That’s how I feel now, squeaky clean, now
what people want, and ready for action, or to be hung out to dry.
>> BOB: Wow Sue, I guess I see the connection, I didn’t realize washing was so involved.
>> SUE: Why would you Bob. You probably never had to do your own washing. So how are you
making sense of all this?
>> BOB: For me, it’s kind of like Farscape, you remember the Australia SiFi TV show.
>> SUE: No, not exactly Bob, remind me again!
>> BOB: I feel like Creighton having gathered the knowledge of worm hole technology Sue.
I am still travelling through cyberspace and I constantly get hit by asteroids, but each
one gives me a new tectonic plate, a new source of energy and excitement.
>> SUE: It does?
>> BOB: Like you I get over heated and need to get a protective coolant suit like the
one Scorpious has. But he’s after my worm hole knowledge and he hasn’t been very collaborative
through out so I don’t think he deserves it.
>> SUE: You sound a bit mashed up there Bob. What do they feed you on down under!
>> BOB: There is so much alien stuff out there, and I need to get back to earth to prepare
others before it’s too late. I am feeling almost ready Sue.
>> SUE: Well, that’s very different from top loaders. Good for you Bob, but it doesn’t
make much sense to me.
>> BOB: That’s the point Sue, we all have to find our own way of digesting and assimilating
our discoveries.
>> SUE: True, then I have a lot more washing to do Bob. Bye.
