Now back to my Netflix B Horror Movie.

Yes, hard to wrap your mind around thinking like that when one can fixate on a horror movie. I watched one last night, "I Spit on Your Grave". Some gory revenge horror movie I wasted my time on but didn't abandon. The most-mind bending thing I think about is that when you touch something, you're really not touching anything. Your atomic particles interact with the atomic particles of what you're trying to touch. But you never quite get there. Sort of like a guy moving half the distance to a girl, then half again. And so on. Theoretically you never get there. You never touch. But the interaction is pleasant. Sort of like watching a horror movie. The characters can't touch you, but you enjoy the interaction. Now on to another movie...

Reminds me of a nerd joke:

A mathematician and and engineer were standing in a room. On the other side of the room was a beautiful young woman , completely nude, over which both men were drooling. A voice comes over the loudspeaker "Every minute, you will be allowed to move half the distance to the woman." The engineer looks at the mathematician and asks "Why are you crying?" and the mathematician answers "Because I'll never actually reach the beautiful woman!" The mathematician looks back at the engineer and asks him, "So why are you smiling?" to which the engineer replies, "I may never truly reach her, but I'll be close enough for all practical purposes!"

if you like that... how about this:

you’re living in the past.

it’s true... by 50-80ms.

this is due to the response time of your nervous system.

that’s pretty crazy.

I think my physics teacher told us if you could arrange the molecules in your hand and the molecules in a desk the right way, you could put your hand through. sonething like that lol

Spit on Your Grave.

New Version was much better than old one :)

See the old “Mother’s Day” if you really want to see a sick flick.
