On sabbatical

Hi, I'm Dan. Feel free to reminisce with me about some shiny things I've received over my years on Misplaced Pages, or wander around my userspace. Some observations on Misplaced Pages:

""
Carl Sagan

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
when sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending, but somewhere to start

— Sade, "Smooth Operator"

Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group ... people from divergent ethnic and cultural backgrounds working in some sense together – surely a humanizing and character building experience.

— Carl Sagan, in Cosmos
Holmes examining the ground
Sherlock Holmes

You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.

— Sherlock Holmes, in Arthur Conan Doyle's The Boscombe Valley Mystery

Botany

Etymology

If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.

— Enrico Fermi
