Don't Step On a Duck Joke (?)
Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.
Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!" The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

There is a theory that if anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced with something that is even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states this has already happened.

When I came across this odd little yellow rubber ball for sell in a novelty store's 75% going out of business sale, started laughing at the same time reaching for it; immediately realizing it's potential making a nice tool as well as a symbol helping demonstrate at the same time I try explaining this odd ability(?)/habit/talent(?) of mine crunching what at first appears to be totally unrelated thoughts/ideas/topics into a single narrative.
When you combine the big bang theory with the singularity,
you get this
"matter"
Einstein refers to as being the whole universe,
although expanding,
continuing to remain the same amount of matter.
No more. No less.
With thoughts currently being debated about our universe eventually reaching a point where it can no longer expand...

the suggestion is that all of this,
the combined everything we believe we understand(?) as well as do not understand(?) about our world/universe we're currently living, will then just collapse back down onto it's original singularity;
the process then starting all over again although not necessarily repeating the exact same results.

But what about this "nothing that is something" Einstein refers to as existing beyond our universe that's allowing(?) this expansion,
infinitely (time) in theory,
could matter have done so?
How then,
did all these "ducks in heaven" find themselves looking as if entrapped
inside
a little yellow rubber ball not able getting out of the way,
in time(?),
the day our universe collapses or should this now be collapsed,
back down onto
back down onto
it's
singularity?
singularity?
How did these "ducks in heaven" once themselves
within
a joke not able getting out of the way in time,
but nothing more than an abstract thought/symbol never existing until created by someone from nothing although inspired by something(s) familiar,
find themselves again not able getting out of the way in time?
However,
appearing this time to be within the singularity,
as
an added addition
an added addition
to
the singularity(?)original(?)matter;
again
expanding into nothing that is something...
again
expanding into nothing that is something...
that's
less than before?
What does this all mean?!
Enough to make one wanna blow their brains out.

And...
I'm definitely able understanding now,
through
my very own experiences,
even yet another perspective why many do.
Inspired by something Janet Gary, wife of nationally known pastoral consultant G. Robert Gary, Sr. ThD, said to me in an email exchange:
"Isn't there something in the bible about not casting one's pearls among swine?"
But instead of this duck which it came to be, couldn't find a Miss Piggy anywhere to wear just the large pearl like beads. Had totally forgotten about the chained link beads. Had I not redicovered them when rumaging through my basement looking for the large pearl like beads first before went looking for a Miss Piggy, surely would not of thought of substituting this duck had I not these rainbow colored chained link beads freshly fired up on my brain.
Anyway,
if you never understood the reason for this duck before,
maybe you will somewhat now,
when
bringing to your attention this duck is wearing
a
plastic rainbow color chained linked necklace along with
one made with large white pearl-like beads; both given to me by someone participating with a Southern Decadence tradition.
Although haven't been since Huricane Katrina, many fond memories from the five or six times joined in with homosexuals from all acrosss America celebrating an event held every Labor Day Weekend; sponsered by the people living a neighorhood located within the French Quarter of New Orleans.
Although not as nice or at least considered having anything of value/worth in any way as compared to the two worn by this duck,
the rest of my beads in another picture taken one year of my Christmas tree ; just the selected few kept out of many, many more decided to earn for a project in mind, hoping might turn these completely invaluable beads into something of some value ...
at least to me.
And that they did, having made themselves a beautiful addition to my Christmas tree every year,
complementing a tree decorated using only glass blown ornaments,
once
making a cut within the loop
then
hot gluing them together into one long string.
And I do enjoy having stories to tell where I'm able watching the reactions of those having just heard one coming from a source they never would have expected.
In the beginning, there was this arwkwardness to how these extremely average New Orleans beads being offered to me by those I found completely unattractive (superficially) wanting me to work/earned them. It had this way of leaving me feeling myself being a bad sport, instead, when declining to participate in this New Orleans Southern Decadence tradition with those wanting to but had not a fucking clue how this was suppose to work. Although not at all a compliment in any way to me, at heart, knew it was meant to be from their perspective.

Always.
The universe may be growing in the same way as a giant brain - with the electrical firing between brain cells 'mirrored' by the shape of expanding galaxies.
The results of a computer simulation suggest that "natural growth dynamics" - the way that systems evolve - are the same for different kinds of networks - whether its the internet, the human brain or the universe as a whole.
No, it doesn't quite mean that the universe is 'thinking' - but as has been previously pointed out online, it might just mean there's more similarity between the very small and the very large than first appearances suggest.
