This Day Keeps Getting Better and Better
I just overheard a loud discussion between one of the owners and The Guy Who Runs the Place about whether or not "we" really went to the moon. The owner swears that the whole moon landing was filmed in a movie studio as a way to intimidate "our" Cold War enemies. Best overheard snippets:
"Why have we never gone back?"
"If we went to the moon, why didn't we put all the satellites on the moon? The moon is perfectly aligned with the earth. We'd never have to reposition a single satellite."
"Area 51....."
"I went to a concert downtown. I saw Jewel there." "Did you see Neil Armstrong, too?"
Did they lace that roasted pig with PCP?
Which makes me think of a story (keep yer trap shut if you've heard it before). A friend was recounting from personal experience how bad drugs are for you. He said that he used to think he had moments of great clarity while he was high. He determined that the next time he was high, he was going to write down one of these universal truths so he could share it with the world after he sobbered up. Sure enough, the next time he was high, he had a journal handy and one of those life changing epiphanies came to him. The next morning he looked at the paper only to read, "The light is on." A truth, but hardly universal.
