Folks, this is it. We're are now officially living in an Alternate Universe

[boston bean]

I don't think I have ever felt so confused about all the strange shit going on.

Things that once were are no longer and everything is all topsy turvy.

I am disoriented.

4. If the Libby Case and the Iraq war does not change I fear you are right

5. just ask yourself...

...whether there's a realistic chance that you might be Anna Nicole Smith's baby's father. That one stable point in the universe is all you really need.

[Katherine Brengle]

6. Well, technically, there are an infinite number of alternate

universes and realities...

But yeah, worst couple of weeks ever... and not just on DU I've noticed - IRL too.

:shrug:

11. Actually Not....

I think if you take all the possible values for the fundamental physical constants there are only about 10*500 (1 followed by 500 zeroes) possible universes.

12. Ah, okay -- close enough, but very interesting :).

7. even the switch to DST is earlier this year (thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005)

and, I might add, wreaking havoc among the IT staff at my job.

9. Alternate Universe (aka Bizarro World) began when the Supremes put Bush

in the White House instead of the rightful inhabitant, Al Gore.

13. Not only that, someone set it on cruise control.

The madness has a continuous steady feel.

14. Diagonally parked in a parallel universe

"In my own country I am in a far-off land
I am strong but have no force or power
I win all yet remain a loser
At break of day I say goodnight
When I lie down I have a great fear
Of falling"
FRANCOIS VILLON

15. I keep asking Scottie to beam me up :(

[Cobalt-60]

16. It'll show up on Sulu's security board

[cassiepriam]

17. Is that why I am still stuck on this god awful planet?? :(

18. A poem for liberals

In the screaming masses picture show --- communist figures write great boring plays;
written and funded, by the Military-Industrial-Complex.

The blind crowds --- looking for a fix --- staring at blue TV screens; as their minds
are washed of reason.

The crowds cheer great liberals of the left --- that are not great liberals of the left---
but fake lunatics --- on pharm drugs.

The war machine turns 24/7 as the blind crowds, babbling towers, and false prophets --- as the Generals pick our Presidents.

19. YES! AND HERE IS WHY

insidious microbial virus was set loose on the world after 9/11, sending us all into an alternate reality.

is there an antidote? a way to get back to the right dimension?

how to counter the deadly and distorted effects of these forces, we turn to our 50 inch HDTVs...................

its all very disorienting

[jazzjunkysue]

20. You made it! What took you so long? Didn't OJ and Michael Jackson

give us away? Didn't Paris Hilton and "American Idle" tell you that something was terribly wrong? Katrina? WMD's? Global warming? Miss America in rehab?

Well, at least you finally made it. Elvis will see you now.

21. Leadership of the C Students

That's what we get for "electing" a C Student as President - twice.
