So, I was lying in bed, trying to go to sleep, and I just let my brain go wherever it wanted.
I started out wondering who played the prisoner in The Green Mile, because I knew it wasn't Ving, and I didn't think it was Tiny Lister, and I couldn't remember the other guy's name, my internet was down, and it was driving me crazy.
Then I started to wonder how dangerous cats would be with opposable thumbs. A whole lot more dangerous, I would think. Then I pictured a scenario where someone invented mechanical thumbs for cats, and I'd start to suspect something was up, because I'd catch my cat walking around on stilts. Then I'd look out the window, and my cat would be using her new mechanical thumbs and stilt skills to drive my car, and she'd promptly put it in reverse and back right into the ditch, because everyone knows cat's can't drive.
Then I couldn't remember what the blue care bear was called. I have no f'ing idea why I even wondered about it, except they were mentioned in some Cracked article, or something. So far, I've refused to look it up, but the not knowing is gnawing at me.
Then I decided I should do a target experiment with a canola oil and sand mixture, to see what the shear thickening properties would be, and how high grained a round it would stop, if any, and if it would be worth putting it in bladders, which could be fitted to a homemade ballistic vest.
Then I wondered if everyone has this kind of random, chaotic, batshit crazy kind of brainstorming session in their quiet hours, or if it's just me.
