Thoughts From The Shower

1. What happens when the amount of rainforest saved by the Facebook Greenpatch application exceeds the total amount of land on Earth?  As far as I can tell, the rainforest saved is merely a function of the number of plants sent via the application, so if that value ever exceeds the surface area of Earth, will someone call the developer's bluff?

2. In science, a revolution is one complete circuit.  In other words, you must finish at the exact point where you started.  So what then is a political revolution?  Is the revolution not finished until it itself needs to be revolted against?  And did the person who labeled political movements 'revolutions' recognize their futility and thus give them these monikers?
