Panta Rei os potamos (From the greek πάντα ῥεῖ), translated as Everything flows like a river is the famous aphorism attributed to Heraclitus, but in fact never expressly stated in what we know of his writings, in which the philosophical tradition next wanted to identify briefly thought Heraclitus with the theme of becoming, as opposed to the philosophy of Parmenides' own (from Wikipedia, the link to see the previous post). Yes, always when I run in technical Heraclitus, Parmenides and associate professor in the school deputy Third Aristotle excluded before the eco-friendly coffee maker, cappuccino, barley and tea, I remember always in mind wanders a fifties film, simply titled Blob.
Under a sky of slate black wash with a sponge (new) washed in spring water stream Amerikan fifties looming head of a star Amerikan here dressing the simple role of a brave but simple-good son of the province, but disliked by myopic local law enforcement, that is a police veteran. Thoughtful hero, hero smoker in secret, without the green light with his machine (I do not think license plate was 313), front - and forever like a dream - to one that screams spitting saliva famo'nagara (curiously this is also the name of a Japanese driver in Formula One Patrese time). However, this is not the point, the protagonist - in negative - the film is an amorphous alien being inside a crashed meteorite, which broke the crust (alien crust), is committed to gradually swallow everything that runs screaming in front of that is four, two and three feet does not matter in practice is the blob, or as better known in Pistoia pillotto . Well, Mr. Pillotto swallows all, is constantly evolving, in the sense that it is becoming bigger (not fat, thick), yet does not flow, is a rather amorphous mass of red gelatin living on alien (Perhaps a communist?). Mr. Pillotto does a caxxo from morning to night, not even secrete a hard material (a shell color), do not worry about anything, or may not be a decorative object for him is not a problem, change into a tool for hear the waves?, imagine ... The blob is at the base of the evolutionary ladder. And his place in the food pyramid I fear it is right at the top, the head of Zach Havash (did you mean Zahi Hawass thanks gooogle, much obliged). The pillotto is older than the pyramids of Egypt, do not you take the nose of Cleopatra as Antony, is older than the Moses basket, bitterness of Brutus, the oldest drunkenness of Noah, probably also the oldest of Rex.
His magic kingdom is a cinema of a country town on a hot summer night (but with air conditioning).
