Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

While I've always thought that the old folklore and tales about things like Pandora's Box were amusing, and I'm proud and ashamed at the same time that my ancestors were clever enough to come up with these kinds of stories to explain things beyond their comprehension but dumb enough to believe them and pass them down over hundreds of years, they still do have a bit of relevancy these days. Like Pandora's Box, for example, which Pandora was told not to open because it would bode bad things for humanity, yet her curiosity got the better of her and she opened it anyways. It's an odd quirk of human nature that we are fearful of doing or seeing things that will scare us, yet those same things intrigue us to the point where we must experience them because our curiosity inevitably gets the better of us despite our knowledge that there's a distinct possibility we may pee our pants during the course of the experience. Roller coasters. Horror films. Voting Republican. We may be frightened of these things, but there's that niggling little voice in the back of our heads that say, "Hey... I wonder what it's all about. Why not check it out?" So it is here that I hold my own test. Do you dare click on the "more" link, knowing that what you will see after doing so will frighten and horrify you possibly to the point of nausea, or are you content to simply sit back and say, "Eh, it's not worth it," and move on with your life and never give it a second thought?
