Here are this week’s shower thoughts.
1-5 Interesting Shower Thoughts
1. The reason why tomato soup and grilled cheese is such a good combo is because it’s basically the same ingredients as pizza.
2. It would be a good idea to have “The Price Is Right” with billionaires, just to see how out of touch they are.
3. When I procrastinate, current me really expects a lot out of future me.
4. Death would be much more terrifying if it was actually possible to live forever. I always thought that the bravest people in Lord of the Ring were not the humans who ran 30 men strong into 5000 orcs, but the elven archers who went to die at helms deep. They gave up immortality for a cause.
5. Every corpse on Everest was once a highly motivated person.
6-10 Interesting Shower Thoughts
6. “It’s not a pyramid scheme” is a phrase almost exclusively used by people involved in pyramid schemes.
7. Tapes had “A” and “B” sides so it only made sense to transition to “CDs”.
8. It’s socially acceptable to talk about how reliant and addicted you are to a drug as long as that drug is caffeine.
9. When youtubers die their children will have hours upon hours of voice/video recording to remember them by.
10. Microsoft should make all previous versions of Windows free, upon release of a new version, to show 100% confidence that the newer one is better than any that came before.
11-15 Interesting Shower Thoughts
11. I wonder if any of my ancestors owned one of my dog’s ancestors.
12. Of all the bears that could kill me the sugar free gummy bear has come the closest.
13. We never realize how many people we dislike until it comes to naming our child.
14. The world’s most famous carpenter died nailed to a board.
15. Most of my adult life has been about solving problems I created for myself between the ages of 16 and 26.
16-20 Interesting Shower Thoughts
16. In ancient times, a bag of Trail Mix would be a luxury unlike any other. They’d have to import chocolate from Central America, cashews from India, almonds from Africa, peanuts from South America, and raisins from Persia.
17. “In case of contact with eyes” warning labels will probably be hardest to read when I most need them.
18. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie getting divorced would be great marketing for a Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2.
19. I really wish my male pattern baldness would start with my armpits and shoulders.
20. It’s easier to understand someone who’s way smarter than you than someone who is just trying to sound smart.
21-25 Interesting Shower Thoughts
21. I have a weird grudge against stingrays ever since one killed Steve Irwin.
22. The last human won’t get a funeral.
23. I think a good response to “you don’t take criticism well” is “You’re probably right, thanks for the feedback.”
24. Each person alive today can, theoretically, trace their ancestry back to the dawn of life, itself. Your line crawled from the ocean and became land creatures. Your line has survived 5 mass extinctions, one of which killed 95% of species on earth. Your line has seen 3 billion years of earth’s history and all of that is contained within you. Your ancestors survived disease, war and feral beasts just so you could surf the internet.
25. The trunk of an elephant is at the front, the trunk of a tree is in the middle and the trunk of a car is at the back.
#4 Would be incorrect, just go on a Lotr wiki and find out, or read the books, Silmarillion is great, personal favourite though for me is “Children of Húrin”.
but on to the subject; elves can in spirit never die, only their physical forms.
Tolkien described it as the “Fëa and hröa”, soul, and body (respectively), and while the body “hröa” can die, the soul (fëa) can not, and while the souls of men who died go on beyond Earth for reasons J.R.R. Tolkien couldn’t place his finger on, elven souls can’t leave Earth, they are bound to the Earth forever, so what happens to elven souls is that they go to the Undying Lands and is eventually ‘reborn’ (in a sense), they go to the halls of Mandos for judgement, and eventually gets their physical form back, and gets to live on in Valinor, the Undying Lands where the angelical Ainur resides.
WOW, I respect your desire to research such menial / Trivial things. Think how much better you would feel if you invested the same amount of time and effort into getting laid. (Just sayin’)
