    Gordon has only just seen this, it made him blush. He remarks that for
    him, time passes at the normal rate. OTOH, we humans are over in the
    blinking of an eye. Insights like this make me think that perhaps I am Gordon's pet human rather than the other way about.

    In my view Gordon is a particularly sagacious stone. He is my friend.

    Gordon has only just seen this, it made him blush.

    There is a long and elaborate joke connected with all this.
    It being a Dutch affair it is probably off-topic.

    He remarks that for
    him, time passes at the normal rate. OTOH, we humans are over in the blinking of an eye.

    So Gordon takes the opposite view: he lives very rapidly.

    Insights like this make me think that perhaps I am
    Gordon's pet human rather than the other way about.

    The joke was about having an argument over this.

    In my view Gordon is a particularly sagacious stone. He is my friend.

    No doubt, wih him having seen all that time go by

    500 million years is not the blink of an eye, that's for sure.
