It is not the idea...

I was a work today, taking a lunch with one of my friends their and we got to talking about crime and punishment (the actual things, not the book). He was some what horrified by my stark cut and dry views on the law. A bit later we saw a preview on the TV for an upcoming news segment on mothers who are due on June 6 and what they are doing about it. Not thinking much about this we continued to talk about D&D and the current predicament that one of his charters is in.

Then it hit me, June 6, 2006..... or 6/6/06. All these mothers were worried that they were carrying devil children just because of their due date. I just couldn't stop laughing about it. It was almost enough to get me to watch the news it struck me as such a ridiculous thing to be worried about. The conversation ended with a comment like they better hold it in or euthanize the children to save the world.

When walking back to our jobs after lunch my friend turned to me and stated "What is startling is not the ideas that you have, but rather, the consistency that you have them."
