"What is that?"
"It's a rainbow table."
"I can see that. "
"Well that's kind of d..."
"..or angry..."
"....umb."
"...or worried..."
"Why not when you're feeling happy?"
"I don't need to paint rainbows when I'm happy. I already feel rainbows when I'm happy."
"But if you only paint these rainbows when you're feeling bad then when you sit at this table you're going to be reminded of all the bad times."
"No. I'll think of all the colors I used to wash the sad away."
"But..."
"So when I sit at my rainbow table I will feel the power of happy overcoming the power of sad."
"Hmm. Got an extra paintbrush?"
I have a lollipop tree table. I totally and completely understand this.

ReplyDeleteThis started out as just a short story [really short]. But I think I may actually do it with one of my old desks.
ReplyDeleteI'd like one painted with the odor of multiple kinds of meat.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I have an old picnic table that needs sprucing up...
ReplyDeleteAugie wants a sizzlin' bacon table
ReplyDeleteOh, hey, Rei__a picnic table would be perfect
This made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI have a teal blue chair and lime green chair that would match perfectly with a rainbow table.
I'll bet Zeus would be happy to assist. LoL
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a puzzle on a card table might be the ticket. Old, new doesn't matter and the lines of the 'puzzle' would give something to think about while recovering happy (or losing sad, which ever). Hmmm.. might be an area for study, a grant even.

10 unsolved puzzles:
ReplyDelete1. What caused the great depression? Yeah, maybe not. On to the next.
2. What is the origin of language? Ok. But is there enough space on the table-top?
3. What started the Industrial Revolution? I have two words__greed and convenience. They are
interchangeable here. Question solved.
4. How is language acquired? See #2
5. Paradox of the heap__The paradox of the heap is an example of this paradox which arises when one
considers a heap of sand (or a haystack, from which grains are individually removed. Is it still
a “heap” when only one grain remains?__maybe not so great for the table-top. Ever onward--->
6. Do black holes exist? Well, just because I've never met one...but once again not prime TT fodder
7. Untriseptium: say what?
The name untriseptium is used as a placeholder, as in scientific articles about the search for element 137. Transuranic elements (those beyond uranium) are, except for microscopic quantities and except for plutonium, always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the location of a laboratory that does work in atomic physics. Because the significance of element 137 was first pointed out by the physicist Richard Feynman, element 137 is sometimes informally called Feynmanium (symbol Fy).
Any element with an atomic number of greater than 137 would require 1s electrons to be traveling faster than the speed of light. Since the early 1900′s, physicists have thought that this number (137) might be at the heart of a GUT, or Grand Unified Theory, which could relate the theories of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and most especially gravity. However, physicists have yet to find any link between the number 137 and any other physical law in the universe. It was expected that such an important equation would generate an important number, like one or pi, but this was not the case.
Ok. This has certain possibilities. The periodic table on the table on steroids.
8. Why do we dream? This also has possibilities. Paint your dream; an on-going work.
9. What are the chemical origins of life? see #7
10. What are numbers? My personal favorite because, although I hate math [and this cannot be
overstated] I really like #'s. Makes no sense, I know. But fooling around with numbers on the
table-top would be awesome.
In case you're wondering, I googled top ten unsolved puzzles because I'm suffering from mush-brain today. :)
#8: I had a terrible sex dream.
ReplyDeleteWhat can ruin a sex dream you ask?
Poor hygiene. I know! gross. And get this it was MY by hygiene. What kind of brain makes me dream something like that? Where can I get a new brain?
I listen to my dreams but I don't always take them literally. If I'd had that dream I would have thought of two things right away: 1. It was time for my period to start and I smelled the change in my body chemistry. and/or 2. It was an indicator of anxiety.
