First, I think I went to high school with a "Raven", or possibly more than one.
Were they black?
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But "this raven is black" doesn't prove that all ravens are black either, which is I guess where I'm getting hung up
From what I gather it's the paradox inherent in trying to prove the assertion by compiling examples that support it. So you already know the answer.

One of my best friends (from high school no less) has primarily gone by his nickname "Raven" as long as I've known him.
He is most emphatically white.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Today was the day you find out about bedrest leavage, right?
Yup. If I'm really, reeeeeeally lucky, I have just six more days to go, and I'm now officially allowed to leave the apartment and go out and about, provided I don't pick up anything bigger than my head and that I go back home and lie down afterwards. Then I have another appt. next Tuesday to see how the walking thing is working out, and after that I may be able to go back to work half-time, or possibly more. I made a big pointy point of stressedly stressing just how indolent my job is, what a mother hen my boss is, and that the ER is right downstairs.
OTOH, I've just crawled my way out of a three-day bout of severe intestinal distress, I'm down two pounds again, and right now I feel like one of those YouTube kittens with the head-bobbing and the toppling and the utter bonelessness. (Which I also pointed out to the OB, since one of the best ways of dealing with said distress? Physical activity.)
OTOOH, the Halloweenie is still head-down and cheerfully thumpy.
Thus endeth the post of memememeME. Apologies all around.

I'm glad you get to be semi-off bed rest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dag, JZ. That all sounds like Very Little Fun. Except for the new and improved out-and-about thing. That's a good time.

Many kettlebells are smaller than your head. FWIW.

Bigger and/or heavier than my head? Not that I'm sure how much my head weighs exactly.
