   I was just in the Hopper.
   
   One of the first things I came to was a "hub" that was nothing but a listing of zip codes.
   
   I flagged it, and then went to the profile.. several more hubs, all just zip codes from different States.
   
   Did this person seriously think that had any value?  Money making potential? 
   
   I'm still shaking my head..

      I had to go look and flag too!
      
      Found a few more that need flagged to - spun nonsense.. like
      
      "Patience, when it lyapnet something wrong. For example, you ask: "My hair are good?" And we respond, "OK" instead of "Fabulous" - not soared up."
      
      Unbelievable!
      
      Sad thing is, Google probably likes them. They don't seem to be that fussed about decent content these days!

      Wow, someone just collecting zip codes for the fun of it?  I'm almost tempted to look. 
      
      I've run across many self-promo hubs in the hopper too - not cool.

         Heck - I'm tempted to start scanning the Boston phone book and turn each page into a Hub.  After that, I'll be off to Squidoo to post some New York phone book pages.

         This is supposed to be a Tamil song or something (Indian language). I don't understand it but I did ask my classmates about it. It went viral across the country and the world as well for its tune (I hated it and couldn't stand it!!).
         
         Trmsd wrote a hub about it long ago as well.

                           Let me explain more fully.
                           
                           I have very little appreciation of music or rhythm.  I just don't "feel" it.   My brain just isn't wired that way.
                           
                           So although I might enjoy some poetry, I realize that I'm in no position to judge what's good or bad.  It would not be fair for me to flag a poetry hub, so I just ignore them completely, even when I'm sure they must be awful.

                              I find that interesting.  Most of the folks I know who think in mathematical terms a good deal of the time (like programmers, et al) tend to have great "understanding" of music and rhythm, thus leading to an "appreciation" of it. 
                              
                              My high school math teacher was convinced I was good at math because I was a musician.
                              
                              Hmm.

                                 My high school math teacher was surprised that I had little interest in music.
                                 
                                 But what she didn't understand is that I'm only good at some math.  I struggle with geometry and have to "translate" in my mind to get away from the physical aspects I have trouble with.  I can do that well enough to appear good at it, but really I am not.

                                    That's fascinating, actually.  There's always been such a correlation for me between math and music.  I'm very musical, and know enough math to understand music theory quite well, but unless words are set to music, I have a hard time reading them in rhythm...so I'm not a huge fan of poetry either.  I like some, but very little, and the more "lyrical" or "dramatic" it's supposed to be, the less I respond to it.

   I have a new favorite:
   
   "Before responding to the arguments of the opposite side, try 7 times to bite his tongue. Such a simple trick helps a person does not explode, do not do something silly, of which he may regret later."
   
   Just remember, the next time you are in an argument, bite the other person's tongue. Guaranteed to stop the argument in its tracks!

      I wonder is that the same new hubber I quoted from above. Something like 12 hubs in 5 hours and a lot to do with relationships. I didn't look at his (her) other hubs. No doubt more of the same.

               In my very early HubPage days.  Then, rather than debate with you, I became a lurker and discovered that we have more in common than I'd have ever realized.  Same thing happened with earnest...eventually I grew to love him to bits.
