World Cup final: Wesley Sneijder set to win place in Holland hearts | Simon Kuper | Football | guardian.co.uk:

[Sneijder] was a disruptive force in the Dutch team, quarrelling with his enemy Van Persie over who got to take free-kicks. In the end the Dutch assistant coach Frank de Boer ruled in favour of Sneijder. Challenged on this, De Boer replies with impeccable logic: “Well, where else am I going to put that Smurf when we get a free-kick?” Sneijder does not typically rule the skies like Duncan Ferguson did. His header that slayed Brazil was such a surprise that he ran off smacking his forehead and chuckling.

Hacker News | That Misery Called Meditation:

My Dad went to a zendo regularly for quite some time, when I was much younger. As a child, the concept of sitting and only sitting was mysterious to me, so I asked him why he did it. He told me that he wasn’t sure, so he asked the head teacher at the zendo, and later recounted the exchange to me, which I have always valued as something of a modern koan in its own right:

Dad: “So, sitting will definitely produce positive results if you do it for long enough, right? What if I sat for 20 years?”

Master: “You mean, a guaranteed amount of enlightenment, however small?”

Dad: “Exactly.”

Master: “The only thing I can guarantee you will get after 20 years of zazen is hemorrhoids.”

“Chicks who dig home runs aren’t the ones who appeal to me. I think there’s sexiness in infield hits because they require technique. I’d rather impress the chicks with my technique than with my brute strength. Then, every now and then, just to show I can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out.”
