Haven't We Seen This Somewhere Before?

  • Ha- it had better be USB 3.0 I still wear my shirt proudly!
  • Oh yes!! I treasure mine. I keep watching and waiting for some MoFier to come up to me and gimmie a high five. Unfortunately, all I've ever gotten is puzzled looks.
  • I still think that anyone I see with one of those blue tooth deals is some sort of cyborg. Usually, they are not. I have sometimes seen those people talking on the phone and thought they were talking to themselves because I did not notice the phone. Then I thought, "Even though they have that blue tooth thing, how do I know there is really someone on the other line?" I don't. That is when I started holding my phone up to my ear whenever I want to talk to myself in public. I will be walking down the sidewalk and I will want to talk to myself. I simply hold my phone up to my ear and start talking. It is the perfect plan.
  • Twenty years ago someone stumbling down the road talking to themselves was thought of as mad or drunk. Now we know - they were time travelling cyborgs with tiny bluetooth headsets.
  • Bernokle's solution is wise. If we just talk to ourselves silently we face long and pitying stares from our monkey forbears... That's because although the corpus callosum is a sort of a USB connection between the two hemispheres of every mammal's brain, according to the wiki, the bandwidth in the human connector is not commensurate with the monkey's for size, making us look blazingly slow.
