I have the right this time, me thinks. And if anything, it's a good way of not going to York tomorrow. :p

Are you going to describe the barf too? Comment on the color and texture mayhaps?

New? It began as a messaging board in a particular Viking village. People would take long ends of wood, known as 'posts', and they stacked them against the message board. Quoting people was a nightmare, I might tell. I came in somewhere during the Enlightenment, when I had to travel to Paris every day with a post under my arm to get to the European message board. I still have splinters.

You could replace it, but it's still a flawed system. The reward centre of the brain is designed to give us rewards when we do certain things that aid in our survival. In a roundabout way, we're addicted to addiction. Our brain is the one pumping us full of drugs.

I mean, come on, even the name speaks for itself. This is The Eternal Thread.

It is eternal, not new.

We delivered messages from the French Resistance to the exiled De Gaulle, we watched the Mona Lisa get painted, that woman was a ugly prostitute by the way, Blazed and Ethel had too much fun with her, me thinks.

We were there when Noah parted the red sea. He did jack diddly squat, a storm blew two tsunamis in opposing directions and drained the lake of it's water.

We were there when Jesus fed the 5,000. A bread wagon and a fish boat collided near the shore and the food was spread throughout the crowd.

Lordi is the reason the Hindenburg crashed, he touched something he shouldn't have.

Noah did jack shit in the parting of the red sea indeed, seeing as that was Moses. And Moses did even less!

To a point. As you keep repeating the behaviour that results in the wonderful dopamine being pumped out by your brain, the more desensitised you become to the effect of that behaviour. That's how people end up overdosing. The brain adapts.
