Do you believe in the spontaneous generation of Captain Crunch? Not the little dude, just his cereal. Before today, had someone suggested such a thing to me, I would have written him off as crazy. However, I might now be inclined to believe. Why the change in my mind? Well, here it is, Mystery of the Day, and if anyone can come up with a better explanation for this phenomenon, let me know.
I went to the dining hall for beakfast this morning, as usual. Everything seemed normal; I selected a clean white plate, two bicuits, a knife, and some jelly. After sitting down and preparing the biscuits, I got a glass of milk. I returned to my seat and ate my meal without any serious mishaps. This is when it starts to get strange. I left to get an orange, returned to my seat, and began to peel it. About halfway through this process it appeared: a lone piece of Captain Crunch cereal. Suddenly I noticed it there on my plate, halfway trying to hide under my knife. I was sitting by myself and did not know anyone else in the dining hall then, so it couldn't have been placed by a friend. And do you want to know the weirdest thing? They didn't even have Captain Crunch in the dining hall that morning. WoOoOoO!! I know, I know, it's crazy! But such is my life ;-)
Anyhow, did you know that many traditional Chinese medicines contain high concentrations of mercury and arsenic? So stick to the Advil.
