Givens:
1. I have a cold.
2. Nyquil makes me hallucinate.
3. I am reading an Icelandic pseudo-saga.
Hypothesis:
1. If I buy something that is not Nyquil, I will not hallucinate when I go to bed.
Experiment:
1. I buy Tylenol Cold PM and take it before bed.
Results:
1. I have a three-hour hallucination that takes the form of a Nordic saga.
Conclusions:
1. No more cold medicines with hypnotics. Ever.
2. Iceland is infested with trolls.
Questions for further research:
1. How much did Vicks pay to have “Nyquil” inserted in the Microsoft Word dictionary?
2. And why didn’t they pay that little more to make it “NyQuil?”
Edit: So, I was wondering why LiveJournal suddenly had a nautical theme, when I remembered that it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So, um, arrrrrr, thar be trolls off the port bow!
errant stupidity
