In a February 1979 interview with "Playboy" magazine, playwright Neil Simon said, "When its 100 degrees in New York, it's 72 in Los Angeles.Life is short, and he is capable of services to humanity incomparably greater than can be expected to result from trying to fly.For students and investigators of the Langley type there are more useful employments." Pickering wrote that "it is clear that with our present devices there is no hope of competing for racing speed with either our locomotives or our automobiles."Īnd exactly one week before the Wright Brothers made their historic first flight on Decem(2 years after Simon Newcomb's claim), the "New York Times" published this comment: ".We hope that Professor Langley will not put his substantial greatness as a scientist in further peril by continuing to waste his time and the money involved, in further airship experiments. This was one of the many regarding humankind devising a way to take flight.
Simon says questions full#
History is full of erroneous predictions of the future of technology. In 1901, astronomer Simon Newcomb declared that, "The demonstration that no possible combination of known substances, known forms of machinery and known forms of force, can be united in a practical machine by which man shall fly long distances through the air, seems to the writer as complete as it is possible for the demonstration of any physical fact to be." Yet how many years did it take after that quote for him to be proven wrong?.On the other hand that is sort of the ultimate negative review isn't it? Despite that opinion of his regarding dinner theatre, perhaps the last laugh was on him since he was at a local dinner theatre when he suffered the stroke that killed him. Most of the students will copy the movement and laugh when they realize the mistake.John Simon was notoriously acerbic (some would say cruel) in many of his reviews, and certainly a hugely entertaining quiz can be written about all the various stinging barbs he wrote over the years such as "Don't assume you have seen the worst before experiencing the latest revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, a production so stillborn I defy God himself to resurrect it" and calling Barbra Streisand "the sort of thing that starts pogroms." John Simon was incredibly well-read and fluent in half a dozen languages.
When students get the hang of that, say touch your _, but touch a different body part. Continue the game, saying touch your ears, touch your knees, etc. Students should mirror the action and touch their nose.
Other commands are pass, shoot, dribble in front, around your back, between your legs, with your left hand, spin on your finger, dunk, etc. For example: Defense- all the players should go into a defensive position, Slide- all of the players would shuffle their feet once in the direction you move. In this game all of the commands are obviously basketball related. A basketball version of this is called Shaq Says which might be more appropriate for older children and basketball practice.
