Marine Mammals are the New Unicorn

D and I are retarded.

We found ourselves discussing science and how its really ruined everything for people - its taken the fun out of potential unknowns. There's nothing new. There's no "What is that IN THE SKY!?!?! ZEUS HIMSELF IS SPEAKING TO US!" And if there is something new, it can be scientifically explained.

We tried to figure out what could happen now that couldn't be explained scientifically and would freak everyone out, and found ourselves stumped.

I said "What if tomorrow we all woke up and could read minds! Suddenly!!!"

He said "What if the earth started rotating the other way?" (which is funny, since he doesn't read the blog, and, well, we've been discussing that...)

Then we started talking about miracles. We weren't calling them miracles since D is an Atheist and I am a recovering Catholic. We didn't realize we were talking about miracles at all, until D said "Something that would go unexplained today would convince people to become spiritual."

True.

Then we thought "This could be a movie..." and tried to think of movie ideas and miracles and what would translate well onto the screen. I kept saying "The miracle can't involve religion. In order for the movie to be powerful and touching, the miracle needs to reach a protagonist who wasn't religious in the first place."

After about an hour of this D said "Wait a second... I can't believe that YOU and ME are trying to come up with an UPLIFTING idea for a movie."

A feel-good movie written by two extremely cynical people.

The only explanation - we are retarded for each other. Ah, love. Two cynics rendered completely and helplessly happy.

Hee hee.
