You broke your favourite pencil?  How could you do such a cruel thing?  ... well, none of you got attatched to toothpicks, have you?  I was playing with them. It was pretty fun, you know. That's what I used to do when I was finished with homework.. |

I've never played with toothpicks. Pencils are another story, though...you'd never know how melodramatic and soap-opera-ish the life of a pencil can be (particularly when a friend of mine and I are making it up...heh).
"Her eraser is FAKE! Her original one was pink. The one she has now is PURPLE! She's so cheap her original one FELL OFF!"
"No! It cannot be! Surely not! My dear, is it TRUE?"
"Never! How dare you slander me in such a way!"
Um...yeah...heh...

That's what I used to do when I was finished with homework.. No, I didn't break my own pencil, the boy did... Toothpicks? No, not really, but sounds like a legitimate thing to be attached to. =) |

^^ It's not creepy. It's the result of boredom, a melodramatically insane sense of humor, and free time in the advanced math class (all the insane people at my school are good at math, for whatever reason).

'Insane', I think, is the best word for it.

That's new. I know that writers are commonly insane people (it's the over-active imagination) but I had no idea it was the same with math.

Geometry is our advanced math class because it's actually a sophomore honors course in our school, and there are some terribly insane people in there. It's also the class that I'm often inspired in. Math people are very...insane. Crazy. Locos. In more ways than one. |

Most of them get good grades in nearly everything. I think someone just used a black hole to suck a bunch of smart people over the inner event horizon of insanity from the area just after the outer event horizon known as 'genius'... (I don't think I ever passed through 'genius', though. I must have been spontaneously created by the unknown physics inside a black hole.) *blinks* I dunno where I got that metaphor...I guess it was also spontaneously created in the black hole. Edit: I just fixed a typo. |

Neither did I; you aren't alone!

A quick physics lesson (which is probably quite a bit off, as I haven't read much about the subject since fifth grade, barring a few articles in Discover magazine):
Black holes have gravity so great not even light can escape once it reaches a certain point. This boundary is called the 'event horizon'. Some black holes may spin; if they do, they may have two event horizons. The inner event horizon will be the boundary from which even light cannot escaped, and the outer event horizon will be the boundary where you are spun around and around, rather like being sucked down a whirlpool, but from which you could, theoretically, escape.
Conventional physics may not exist within a black hole; it's quite possible there are different rules inside the inner event horizon, or no rules at all--in which case objects could spontaneously appear, like insane writers...
That's my understanding of it, anyway...I've not read about this much in years...and yes, it is a very confused metaphor.

Hmm. . . speaking of weird physics. . .
Because quantum particles pop in and out of existance randomly, it is possible that you or I or the keyboards in front of us could just spontaneously disappear. Possible, but so unlikely that it has never happened to human knowledge and most likely never will.

That's what I used to do when I was finished with homework.. I get obbsessed with sticks alot, once I almost started to cry because we couldnt fit this stick i found in the car. What, I was 5. |
