Life After God

I stare at t-shirts with "4 8 15 16 23 42" written on them and then step over cables used for filming Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and wonder just what kind of made-up world I am now living in.

Steam rises from the drains and I keep thinking the pavements are on fire.

I repeat the words "SeaBus" and "SkyTrain" to myself as if they were an incantation. Many people travelling by SeaBus and SkyTrain seem to be carrying snowboards.

and by including both 23 and 42 in The Numbers, they're hooking into a network of pre-existing conspiracy theories so vast that they're practically part of the subconscious by now..

I didn't think that could really be the famous face in the rollright stones, until someone confirmed it.

23 and 42 are about the only numbers I ever really remember of the sequence, so I think that proves it.

Did the face say anything? The stones look interesting. I shall have to visit them sometime.

It wasn't very talkative that day. Unfortunately someone had been around daubing yellow paint on the stones, and I think they were sulking.

Worth a visit there sometime though. It's a nice ride through the country roads up around there too.

Perhaps they would prefer a nice splash of green paint so that they can be camouflaged amongst the grass. Or magnetic paint!

I've not visited that area much at all, so shall contemplate it.

with magnetic paint, and perhaps some giant magnets underneath the earth's crust, we really could animate those standing stones.

but it probably won't happen unless Coca Cola decide to use it for an advertising campaign.

Perhaps it would be during the ad-break while Lost is on, with a little molten coca-cola pouring out of the standing stones, more like a volcano than a fountain.

Since Lost already has giant magnets that make planes crash, it would be easy enough to bring in some spookily animated magnetic standing stones. Although the penguins might not like it.
