From The Mind of Merc - Profundity

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics ad occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about profound moments – the moments when realisation strikes us like an epiphany and leaves us awestruck. Here are the best ones I’ve found on my travels through the internet. Once you’ve got to grips with one, feel free to move on to the next one.

• Every book you’ve ever read is just a different arrangement of 26 letters
• The only time the word incorrectly isn’t spelled incorrectly is when it’s spelled incorrectly
• The 2 ee’s in Bee are silent
• The first teacher ever never went to school
• Using a computer to buy a new one is the equivalent of getting it to dig its own grave
• To dinosaurs, we live in a post-apocalyptic future
• To your stomach, all potatoes are mashed potatoes
• Everything we eat is processed sunshine
• Your shadow means that light that has travelled 93 million miles has been deprived of reaching the ground by you
• Nighttime is the natural state of the universe and daytime is only caused by a nearby, radiating ball of flame.
• Going to bed so you’ll feel better in the morning is the human equivalent of turning off and on again
• Today is the oldest you’ve ever been and the youngest you’ll ever be
• There will never be any more people older than you than there are right now
• The person directly in front of you also the person furthest behind you
• A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you
• You’ve never looked at your own face
• Everyone sees world in unique way – their death = death of that world

And finally,

• There was a time when your parents put you down and never picked you up again
