Thought of the Day: The Perfect Crime
The Wise Sage reflects on the truly perfect crime — the one we’ll never know happened. A thought-provoking dose of quiet mischief and philosophical pondering. If it made the news, it wasn’t flawless.
Thought of the Day – The Great Communication Shift
The banana used to be the food that most looked like a phone.Now it’s the pop tart. Once upon a time, you could pick up a banana, press it to your ear, and everyone knew: you were pretending to make a call. It was innocent. It was potassium-rich. It was the golden age of fruit-basedContinue reading “Thought of the Day – The Great Communication Shift”
Thought of the Day: Stairs
You can’t stand backwards on stairs! When standing still on stairs, you would typically be facing either up or down the stairs rather than facing backward. Standing backward on stairs while stationary would indeed be an unusual and potentially precarious position, as it could make it challenging to maintain balance and stability without a clearContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Stairs”
Thought of the Day: Counting

Daydreaming is typically associated with being lost in thought or imagination during waking hours, but there’s no reason why similar mental processes can’t occur during the night. When we’re asleep, our brains are still active, and dreaming is a form of mental activity that can involve imaginative scenarios, problem-solving,Continue reading “Thought of the Day: Daydreaming”
Thought of the Day: Sleep
In order to fall asleep we need to pretend to be asleep. It may appear true on the surface, especially if someone is trying to simplify the concept of falling asleep or is using metaphorical language. The idea of “pretending to be asleep” might resonate with the notion of relaxing, clearing the mind, and lettingContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Sleep”
Thought of the Day: Straws
Does a straw have one hole or two? The question of whether a straw has one hole or two can lead to an interesting philosophical debate. From one perspective, a straw can be seen as having one continuous hole that runs from end to end. This viewpoint considers the straw as a single object withContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Straws”
