..you have to remember that our brains are still basically suited for flinging poo at each other out of trees. And just because you have all the pieces in front of you doesn't mean they'll necessarily fit the outcome.

I dunno, it could be. Maybe you've been jogging a lot recently and taking growth hormones. ;)

I've been looking at tattoo's myself. :D

Is the tattoo a mistake, or a way to make people do a double-take? All, messing with your perceptions so the person can be smug and roll their eyes when you tell them they've gotten it wrong. It makes my eyes water because I want to get a Sharpie and scribble out the incorrect number.

Mind you, I knew a guy who got a tattoo fresh out of high school where his fiancee's name was misspelled to "Heathar" instead of the oh-so-exotic "Heather". I think everyone involved was drunk. They named their first daughter Miranda after he was once read his Miranda rights.

I am not making this up.

Very true words to that Willow. However though we may have a bio-mental basis to fling poo, we also have much more that allows us to play with all the pieces in front of us to come up with multiple outcomes, if not change and control (to a degree) what those outcomes are. However do keep in mind that we still are hardwired for poo flinging and while we are in control, truthfully we are also not. Then again, the tride and true technique of poo flinging has produced some interesting results. More often than not unexpected and life changing.

I personally think we teeter on the delicate balance of "winging it", and actually doing it. Sometimes it cannot be denied that we actually do something and our plans do come into effect. However yes, you are right, for the most part we to one degree or another "wing it". If you can accept this factor it does make life easier, and it also pushes you better in the direction of having something happen in your favor better than if you think you are always in total control.

You're a frood who really knows where his towel is.

Glad to see you back online, Max. Sorry I was so distracted at Axis, there were a LOT of people I had to interact with. Hugs!
