If you did not take high school literature or just did not read Gulliver's Travels, then you skipped out on a forgettable experience. In this book, Gulliver comes across a primitive people group called the Yahoos. Primitive does not describe them accurately. In fact they are more primitive than a sea cucumber. Anyway the only way that these Yahoos survive is because the horses, who are intelligent, look out for them. This got me pondering. Why would you name your company after a primitive race of humans? I mean isn't Houyhnhnms much easier to pronounce?
As I was saying, if you were to name your internet company Yahoo, than you probably wanted to make the people who use your services sound intelligent. Because the obvious conclusion is that people who use Yahoo are Yahoos.
I also wonder if this means that the managers at Yahoo are called Houyhnhnms.
And if you are wondering what I am saying, join the club! I am kind of confused my self.

Arachnaphobia
Many people have arachnid phobia. Approximately half of the women in the US, and a quarter of the men in the US suffer from it. That is too many. Why are people afraid of a small creature that is probably not poisonous. That is about 2% of 63000 different species of spiders or poisonous! It probably is the fact that spiders a crawly creatures that kill harmful insects. Or maybe because they bite insects that walk into their web. Well you know what? Statistically you might have eaten a spider in your sleep. Did you die? Obviously not if you are reading this. If you are dead and reading this. Um. Why would you be reading a blog. Go out their and do something! That is if you are dead. Okay that was weird. What was I saying? Yeah, something about spiders. hmm. Oh yes that's right. As I was saying before I rudely interrupted myself, spiders are great pets. Don't laugh, if you release an egg sac in your house, I bet that you will find many less bugs that are more dangerous than spider. Bugs such as flies. That's another thing, why aren't people afraid of flies?

Electric eyeballs
I was thinking that it would be funny if their was a virus. what this virus would do, would be to cause the people who caught this virus to pluck out their eyeballs and replace it with a titanium a socket. This way they would have a literal eye socket. The poor person would then screw in Edison lightbulbs into their sockets. The virus would rewire the brain so that it could somehow cause the lightbulbs to light up. And then they would walk with their arms outstretched and every slow lumbering step they would flash their Edison. Now why can't they have that as a zombie in a movie!
Oh no make sure you don't get attacked by the lightbulb zombie!!!! You might catch the virus, RUN!!
hahahaha

The video game of life
In video games, when you die you restart from the last save. If it is a nice game, it will auto save, but the annoying ones you have to manually save. Anyways some games, when you reload a previous save, sometimes the environment changes. An example would be one of my favorite games, XCOM Enemy Unknown. It is a great game I highly recommend. The premise of the game is that aliens are invading earth and you are commander of XCOM which is fighting the aliens. Their are two different types of gameplay, the first is base management. This is the part where you study the aliens and improve your armaments. Sometimes randomly generated events occur. Like a terror strike by the aliens. The other gameplay type is a turn based combat. When you reload the base management part, it is different each time. On the other hand when you are combating the aliens, everything is exactly the same. This got me thinking. If you were to reload the world would it be like base management and things be different, or would it be like the turn based combat part and be exactly the same. This may seem like an obvious answer. Of course it would be the same, it wouldn't make sense if it weren't. But here is the problem. In the subatomic level certain events are completely random, their is no cause. Like weather or not a particle will quantum tunnel or not. Would these subatomic particles behave differently when you reloaded the world?
See I can do a serious post.

Woohoo breaking my gross title streak!
This is not a gross post. Really its not, so don't just pass it off and not read it. Seriously this isn't going to have anything about optic nerves, cannibalism, or any of the other such posts. I think it ought to be a mental condition. I've always wanted to be insane! Wait, does wanting to be insane mean that I am already insane? Ha! new it all along.
By the way, no one has done that experiment that I talked about doing in a previous post. Since this will not be a gross post I will not go into detail. Someone should really do it, and video tape doing it too.
Hey, don't look at me. It was my idea, so I shouldn't have to do it. Its a long tradition of not testing out your experiments. It goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks. They only theorized and never experimented to see if what they theorized was correct! So please by all means do it!
See this is an example that my posts are not always gross.

Do humans have bacon?
I have a question that will keep you up all night. If you chopped a mermaid in half.
Egghh. Lets try that again. If a mermaid swam to far into the shore and had her head dashed upon the rocks. Blech. Okay this time I will get it right.
If a mermaid died of natural causes, and you fried her tail up. Would the tale of the mermaid taste like human (not that you tried human of course but hypothetically speaking would it taste like fish. In addition would it be cannibalism to eat the tale of a mermaid but not the rest of the body?
You know, I should post some less disgusting posts one of these days.

I wonder how long someone could survive on boogers and water (just getting you ready for a gross post)
I know I do a lot of superhero posts, but that's because super heroes were popular all the way back when a tablet meant a peice of wax or stone. Its part of my genetic makeup. Same reason why I post weird stuff.
Here's the idea. A blind super hero who removes his eyeballs and in their place stick glass eyeball replacements with razors at the end. Attached from the synthetic eyeballs to the brain is an optic nerve that can extend up to three yards and can be controlled by the heroes brainZasde super hero would go around and choke people with his long nerve. It would so funny to have the villain stare strait at our hero, and then suddenly punch the villain really hard and nock him out using his eyes. If his eyes had razors that could cut through steel and iron, just think of how hard it would be to contain him. It would probably end up with his optic nerve tied in a double knot so he could not use his eyeball/optic nerve. Hahah. Grossed you out yet?
