Thought 49: Clone of Your Own

Skit: "A guide on how to clone oneself"

[name] Here. Have you ever found yourself needing a second set of hands [examples of hard tasks], but the help just doesn't quite understand you. Well have I got the perfect solution, a clone. With a clone, for better or worse, at least you'll exactly what kind of help you've got.

But, [name], I do not have a expensive bio-science lab with cloning tanks. Well then have I got the cheap home-grown-clone-kit for you, and I already know that it works, but more on that later.

If you're like me, you come home filthy at the end the day and need a bath, which is where incidentally I do most of my best thinking. One day it struck me, one of those running down the street naked ideas, that I was wasting all of those skin cells and bits of hair at the bottom of the tub. If only there were some way I could utilize those cells to make a clone of myself. What I needed was an organic filter to capture all of that lovely biological material and help it grow. That right when the idea of using bread came to mind, not the ordinary kind of bread, that kind of bread that's been sitting on the counter for week and has become rock solid, either that or hard as rock kind made by Pierre down the street. (Hold up a piece of bread). The bread will be spongy enough to let the water flow through, while collecting all of the hair and skin, plus it'll provide nutrients for your newly growing clone.

Now, what you do is place the bread at the drain of the tub, careful to make sure its large enough not to go down the drain, or clog it up, first time I did this, backed up the whole septic system, what a mess that was. Any-who, once the bread's in place, you wait.

After about a week you'll start see signs of your clone start to form. (hold up a piece of moldy bread, covered in hair).

In about a month or in it starts to take a more organic form. (pull some green borax and glue from a bowl.) Now at this point you might want to start bathing with a mask to help keep back the smell. To be honest, I was not sure which was worse, the clone's or mine.

In a couple more months, it'll start bubbling, taking shape, and taking up the whole tub. Oh! And if you feel something bite you, it just means that clone needed a little bit of blood, and it's time to get a second tub! (dry ice mix, or air pump, in cornstarch-water mix to make the whole mess bubble, but still be a liquid, add some solidish objects, like plastic bones to make it start looking real, mix red and green food coloring.)

And finally after 8 months, if your wife, or the paranormal investigators do not put a swift end to your alter self, you'll have improved on the normal human process by one month, and have my friend here. (reveal monster and shake hands with monster).

A chip of old block, if you ask me. (fade, with monster eating our orator).

Thought 70: Determinism.

Hold on your butts, this one is a wild ride, and specifically from my point of view. It's more a journey from when I was about 6, until today, and a little bit beyond that, about a week under normal conditions, but that last part flucuates quite a bit. I cannot explain all of it, but I can describe my experiences, and you don't have to believe them, they are merely my observations. I feel I have to start with sleep and dreaming, since so much of the experience is rooted inside dreams and more specfically dejavu. We have to suspend the dejavu for a moment to get through this, but trust me, we'll get back there, it's too important to leave out. I am a lucid dreamer, in full color, full audio, lots of detail, but not sharp details. Note that last one, it's important as well. I have been my whole life or as far back as I can remember, dreamed vividly of all my childhood nightmares and having the ability to conjure heroes to fight them. This battle somewhere in the...

Thought 54: The House of Cloud PI

The concept of a smart house with a computer that is everywhere is a concept that is today possible with things like alexa and all sorts of technologies. But when the internet is down much of this breaks down to a more simplier format. What if it were possible to combine the cluster performance of the cloud with a set of smart home controllers. That is with the always on of many of the smart plugs and bulbs can we boost each's CPU power and combine that power into a cluster? The concept being take a quad core arm, but now every bulb, outlet, switch, appliance, and smart camera contains one. First would the combined house power be useful? or efficient? Efficent would be a draw of about 2 Watts per device, which be up from the near 0 most of the zigbee and zwave device produce now when they are in low power mode. Does that mean that let's assume you have 40 of these (40 from how many devices I had when I last constructed a smart home, but really we'd likely be higher o...

Thought 55: An End to Bread Ends.

For some reason people dislike bread ends and this alwasy leaves them to be turned into bread crumbs. We always cook them in a pan even the major manufactures. Now, there is a type of bread that is made without ends, but it's very different. But why couldn't someone like Wonder Bread create a convayer belt of bread and remove the pans? That is the belt is a series of overlapping U shapes. The pans drop down from the back preventing dough from going backwards. The U's are sprayed with butter/oil then the dough is dropped into the U's in a continous fashion. The belt continues forward into a low temperator oven to help the dough raise it can take an s-shape here as we are only doing dough rising, from here the dough move to a long and slow oven for the hour or so to cook the bread. At the end of the oven tunnel the bread is sliced, now with no ends. The U conveyer belt drops down and the endless loaves now move to slicing and packaging. The U's now go up thr...
