Memes That Make You Giggle

Is it the "want," or the "squish" that is morning dependent?

there is no want beyond the animal that is annoyed by a noise and wants to make it stop and squish is the most direct and non-thinking way for that to happen...

in the past when Mom had to get me up to go to school (after she'd gotten my siblings up) she would often find me burrowed under a pile of blankets, pillows, or anything else i could pile on to get the noise to go away. she'd pull it all off me and throw it on the floor so i'd have to get up and that would be often enough to get me to the bathroom and then on the way to school eventually.

Just fyi, I once broke a friend's brain by asking him, "If a man goes back in time and becomes his own father, where did the male genes come from?"

having read a lot of science fiction through the years i've generally avoided time travel into the past kinds of stories because they aren't really what i consider science enough, to me they are fantasy or mistaken possibilities. if someone thinks they've travelled into the past to me i'd say it is much more likely they've just gone forwards into a different universe than the one they think... the person you think is the father isn't or something...

Flight of the Horse by Larry Niven is an interesting time travel. The time machine in it wobbles into other dimensions instead of being linear. Out of print last I checked. My copy is old

It's fun to mess with peoples heads.
 
I was talking to 2 people, one who used to work at a toy store, the other works at a book store...

They both said it was COMMON for tourists to come in, and ask what elevation they were at, and the tourist would mention that the elevation must be very high here. At which point the ocean, not so far away, would be pointed out. And the tourist would OFTEN respond with, "but to get here we flew up over so many really tall mountains " :th

I haven't yet recovered from this new information. How can SO MANY people be THAT ignorant??

And yes, yes... don't bury the dead people.


Also... on one of Jay Leno's stupid people walks, he asked "What color was George Washington's white horse". And the person couldn't figure it out!! :ep See, when you ask "what color was George Washington's purple horse?" I would first be 1. Not possible, people wouldn't have died the horse purple back then since dyes were pretty expensive at that time, and I have never heard of that being done in that era. 2. It would have to be white, or close to white, or the purple dye wouldn't show up.

the assumption there which may be wrong is that i'm probably not quite people until some time after i'm awake. messing with me at that time is just not a great idea.

i may have read that book some time in the past.

Then there's the type where the series has you thinking something entirely different than the end result. One of those has you getting on a bus, and at each stop people are getting on and off. Then the question is, "How many people got on at the first stop," or "What was the driver's name?"
