Pondering the unponderable
June 4th, 2007 by cybrpunk
Here are a few questions that people really shouldn’t think about. But I’m asking them anyway, because you can never be too sure of your comfort level within your own mind. Leave a comment with your answers/opinions.
- Would an event such as the rising of the dead be a turn on or a turn off to a necrophiliac?
- If you had to save either your child or your spouse from certain death, which (if either, this is a choice) would you save?
- In the event of your home city being evacuated because it would be destroyed in a matter of hours, would you: join the crowd fleeing, start looting, do all those things the voices always tell you to do but are afraid of the law, etc?
- If you had one wish that could be granted but you knew the request would be distorted in some way, would you still make a wish?
- If you were trapped in the woods with your beloved pet dogs and your legs were broke so you couldn’t find your way out or go for help, would you eat the dogs before you starved?
I’m going for things that people don’t think about often or at all to see your reactions. Please leave a comment with your answers or opinions. I’m curious as to what kind of wackos are out there reading this page.
My answers:
1: I would think the living dead would be a turn off to a necrophiliac. I’m not sure exactly what makes them tick but I imagine the lifelessness and the control are important. The fact that they could get eaten probably messes with them.
2: Hard one, but I suppose that depends on which one I liked more. If times were bad and you thinking of knocking off the spouse anyway, well bonus for you. Or vice-versa with the kid. If you don’t like either of them… screw ‘em. Both of their bodies will delay the enemy even more to give you an even better chance to get away. Hypothetically….
3: I see no point in joining the masses killing each other trying to escape or sitting in traffic on the highways. Might as well go have some fun. Whatever that means for you especially since you may be dead soon anyway.
4: No, I don’t think so. Unless there was a sure way to trick-the-trickster so to speak. Kind of like the old fairy tales. But I’ve seen those Wishmaster movies. I’ve yelled at the screen. I’m not risking it.
5: No, I would try and get them to leave me. I’d stand a better chance of getting found if people saw the dogs walking around anyway.
Hmmm…
1. It isn’t the movement that would bother me… it would be the talking.
2. Kill both … to be fair.
3. Why would anyone want to escape my warranted destruction of their city?
4. Only if a lawyer is present.
5. Only one thing to say “Two dogs enter, one dog leaves!”.
