Drew’s Train of Thought

Drew DeKeyrel, Writer

If you touch your finger to your arm, is your finger feeling your arm, or is your arm feeling your finger? If it’s both, which one feels the other more? It’s probably both, and your finger probably feels your arm more than your arm feels your finger.

What if humans continually produced static electricity and stored it in our hair? Would our reserve and power over the electricity be greater if our hair was bigger? Would the world be run by supercharged humans with extreme amounts of hair? There would be a bunch of people who act like Emperor Palpatine who go around shocking people for no apparent reason. It should be noted that since our hair would be full of static electricity, it would just be floating around our heads.

Did you know that methamphetamines have a medical use? Do you know what that medical use is? Meth is used to treat ADHD. Imagine going to your doctor for a refill on your medications and he tells you,

“We’re going to try something a little different.”

“Like what? Upping the dosage on my Adderall?”

“Even better, meth!”

Just imagine that. You are being told that you are going to take a drug that is well known for ruining many lives. Just for your ADHD. That would be so weird, and I’d be extremely conflicted about whether I would trust my doctor. It is also used to help people lose an extreme amount of weight quickly. Typically for obese people.

Also, an additional thought from Lauren Johnson: “Penguins can launch their poop like a projectile. They can just go to the edge of their nest and just… BLASTOFF! In the musical we are doing, there are characters called ‘crapshooters,'” which are basically gamblers. “So now, whenever I read ‘crapshooters,’ all I can think of is penguins projectile pooping.”
