Self-Indulgent Tumblog Post
My roommate, Ranjan, is the smartest person I know (Ranjan, I know, right? Such a cliche). Sometimes he talks to me; most of the time I disgust him and he drinks.
Brainland: “Hey, Ronny. Mummies or Aztecs?”
Roommate: “Oh, Aztecs. Definitely.”
Brainland: “No way.”
Roommate: “Aztecs liked space better.”
Brainland: “But aliens built the pyramids.”
Roommate: “No, pyramids are easy. The Egyptians didn’t build a city with the distances between buildings in the exact proportion of distances between the planets; four of which they couldn’t see.”
Brainland: “Yeah, but, mummies.”
Roommate: [long silence] ”Mummies are good.”
Why did this conversation have to happen after I had already left. Not that I would have had anything significant to offer. Probably just some comment about Dinosaurs. They are all I care about.
