Strange things you think about.

I was just eating a steak. And I started to think about the cow that it came from. And then I started to think about the person that slayed the cow, I was wondering what is that person doing at this very moment. Maybe he is sleeping, taking a shower, or playing xbox, or maybe it was a woman. Could she be doing her hair, getting ready to go out and party at a club or something. Or perhaps she is breast feeding her newborn child.

What are some of the strange things that go through your head?

I think it's fascinating that everyone on the planet (given time zone differences of course) are looking up at the same moon as I am. It makes the world feel so much smaller. I always think about space, and how we'll never get very far, and what could be in the emptyness so far away. Same with the ocean, the deepest places that we have yet to get to, fascinating.

If I thought of that stuff while eating any meat, I'd gag & be done eating it, til later.
As far as wierd thoughts. I have a lot, but I can't think of any I've had at the moment.

Several years ago an ex-coworker had a small farm and would have a pig roast every year. It was always fun. One year, I was happily munching on my roast pork when that stupid MF told me the name of the pig. :eek: I knew it was a pig from his farm, but once he told me his name, I couldn't eat another bite. I think his name was Tommy. Then all I could think of is how just a day or two ago Tommy was still snorting around the barnyard, and then I pictured him as a cute little pink piglet and I almost threw up. All these thoughts flew through my mind almost instantly. Although, now I still eat meat, go figure. :confused:

Oh, here's another one. I think everyone has had this thought. What if I'm in a coma or something and all of this is just a dream? How long ago did I go unconscious? Will I wake up?

I spend large chunks of my day wrestling with the concept of persona and the definition of self. Am I a Res Cogitans (a thinking thing) or a Res Corporealis (a bodily thing)?

When I die am I still me? Is the body me? If I am not defined by my body, then if I were to have my consciousness planted into another body, would it be me?

If I become a reanimated corpse, am I still me?

Interesting thread. Alot of good food for thought and there's only been a handful of posts so far....


This isn't weird, but it's something I was pondering with my boss yesterday....



Alot of homosexual people say that they did not choose to be gay and they are just born that way. (Others will tell you they chose it because something affected them at some point in their life, but those aren't the ones I was discussing...)

So if people are born gay, that would mean it's a genetic thing right? But, if being gay is genetic, then why hasn't evolution/natural selection eradicated it? Because obviously, for the most part they aren't procreating....


:confused:

I bet it'd be chewy. Like alligator meat...

I worked at a high end caterer for 4 years, so I got to sample quite a bit of weird foods. (Just about every kind of wild game you could think of including alligator, raccoon, rabbit, bear. I passed on the Rocky Mountain Oysters though because that's justa term to gloss over the fact that they are bull and/or sheep testicles.) No human flesh though...
