Where can I get some rocks to sell?

You know, it didn’t cross my mind that there could be another 9/11 attack today until I read Glen’s comment. Do you think there is someone who deserves a little credit for this ease of mind we enjoy?

I’m going to let the Simpsons answer this one.  Then I’m going to go facepalm mightily.

Homer: Well, there’s not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol is sure doing its job.
Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, sweetie.
Lisa: Dad, what if I were to tell you that this rock keeps away tigers.
Homer: Uh-huh, and how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work. It’s just a stupid rock.
Homer: I see.
Lisa: But you don’t see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: Lisa, I’d like to buy your rock.
