Serious Funny

I've never been one to do things by the book. Always preferring to find my own way. Take my recent incarceration on a psych ward: traditionally it's the book of Revelations that's required reading for us nutters. I don't know but I find the revelations of St. John the mushroom-head more than a little obscure. I've heard John was actually Mary, or perhaps Jesus' brother. Whatever the truth of the matter Revelations reads a little bit too much like an acid-trip for my tastes, so personally I found myself reading the book of Wisdom.

Although that book inspired my own bit of craziness. Take for example the revelation I received whilst contemplating a flower I painted for my wife; that the fundamental particle of time oscillates in six dimensions, with a zero point right at the centre, which gives seven dimension of time. Now flick thorough Genesis, spot something? Considering that astrophysicists are now able to find echoes of the Big Bang in cosmic background radiation I'm starting to wonder if the Bible's got echoes in it too. Flip to the end and all that Revelations trippiness; "six-hundred and sixty-six", or "six (I tell you three times)"? I'd have to see the original to be sure but it's odd that six popping up again.

Now I find myself running up against religious copyright: Zen has a good laugh sitting on #1; not sure who has #2, but two could be a reflection of one; #3 is a tie between Christianity, The Matrix, and atomic physics; #4 is the preserve of Golfers; Dischordians mess with fives and annoy Wiccans; Judaism waves a flag for #6 and hides behind #7; Chaos Magicians wield eights. All wonderfully bizarre.

Me? I play with Zeroes.

With some effort (a bit of spin basically) you can simulate any number with a zero. Then you can see some really weird stuff such as time sliding backwards, and entropy going the wrong way.

So just how many years do you get for breaking the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics? Probably eternity knowing my luck.
