Discussion I just had a thought

[Inferdan]

Everyone, what if clouds were just big dust balls that drift through the sky, and come apart to fall down into the cities and suburbs, and winds/cars/etc. make them fly back up to clump together again.

Think about it...

Whatcha smokin'?

You know, this would have been a good one for the Ten Threads We Haven't Seen Yet...

 

[Lorntroubles]

I still don't get it. Cheerz!

 

[XYZ]

What if clouds really is just God pissing down on my life?

I don't get it. This reminds me of the English mentalist Derren Brown. He mentioned how he was once approached by a mugger with a knife I think demanding money. Derren Brown told the mugger something totally nonsensical and just walked away from the completely baffled mugger.

I had a friend who did something like that with a mugger. She put up her hands, leaned toward him, made a face and did a silly "bl-bl-bl" at him. He laughed and then she asked him what he really needed, and it was something like 10 euros for the metro, so she gave it to him. Then he asked for something else and she said no, and he said okay, and they parted smiling.

I'm recalling Derren Brown's account from memory, but found what he exactly said. Outlining his irrational behaviour strategy in the Metro today, Brown recalled an incident when he was approached by a suspicious character spoiling for a fight on his way home at 3am in the morning. "I said to him, 'The wall outside my house isn't 4ft high' and he was suddenly confused." The idea of the psychological tactic, he added, is a bit like "pulling the rug out from somebody". "He started breaking down in tears because all of that adrenaline and aggression had to go somewhere. So he did the adrenaline dump. They use it in martial arts where they get people to relax before you hit them to make the blow more powerful."

Who would've thought my random thought would create such an interesting discussion :p I'll keep this in mind!

True, true, but the thing is, now you have seen it :/ no chance of this being included there now.
Also, I smoke air without lighting it
