Scientists do not
Make good poets, they should let
Poets be poets

Well that may be, Quirt.
But it's far less goofy than
A LAWYER poet

That's like the Special
Olympics joke, even so,
You're still no poet

Sorry, but this doesn't seem to be a thing to be cryptic about. Please explain, (not in haiku form, please) why the bus window imploded.

Oh, sorry Frank! Actually I don't know very much more than that - we were going along the road as normal and suddenly there was a huge bang, and one of the front side windows shattered into the bus. :shrug: It was shatterproof glass, of course. There were two people sitting at the front but they were ok. It might have been a rock or something, but I can't see how it would have been projected into the window unless someone threw it, and no one knew either. The driver checked we were all ok, phoned the police and let us all out.

Glad no one was hurt!!

I was in a pretty nasty car accident a couple of years back, and the front windshield shattered. It was breakaway glass but it went EVERYWHERE.

I've carried that glass around for years now. To this day I find shards of glass from that accident in real unusual places. Like just last week, I found it in the change tray of my car (not the one that was in the accident.) How it got there I'll never know but I'm sure more will turn up later.

HOLY CARP!!!
Had some onions in
My sandwich at lunch. Now I'm
Chewing some breath mints.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
