The Facts of Life

A few rumors. They might save your life. Or they might kill you. Both make for a pretty good night.

Belief is a powerful thing. Well, not your belief: your opinions couldn’t be less important. But there is someone, and there always has been someone, who can control the universe by his powers of belief. You see, at any given moment the universe is controlled by what one particular man believes. All things, right down to the laws of physics, are subject to instantaneous change as soon as one dies and another is chosen. Amelia Airheart? Disappeared when the new Believer couldn’t fathom a female aviator. Ever wonder why Newton’s seemingly obvious laws of motion took so long to come around? Well, for thousands of years all the Believer’s put their stock in Aristotle’s physics. Believers don’t even know about their powers, and it is flat out impossible to tell who is one.

Ever think that people talk about you behind your back? Well, they don’t. In fact, as soon as you leave their line of sight, they forget you exist. Any evidence you leave behind is simply attributed to someone or something else. They don’t even remember you when you come back, they just pretend to, like when somebody is talking about a movie you’ve never seen, but you don’t want to admit it so you play along.

You know what a swastika looks like, don’t you? Sure you think you do. But you don’t. It looks different to everyone. You’ll never guess it’s true form. If you knew, I guarantee it would affect your choice of breakfast cereals.

Ever wonder why we use a base ten numerical system? Or why our alphabet has twenty six letters? Well, it all ties into the Canadian teen show Degrassi. Let’s just say your life would be a lot different with a base six numerical system. And if there were twenty seven letters in the alphabet, you’d be dead.

Ever fly in an airplane? Doesn’t it just seem wrong that such a heavy object could carry so many people through the air? Well, guess what? It is wrong.
