You can always buy new shoes.

The whole thing seems to be occuring in the background art for a battle in Earthbound.

Crazy finger point man and cohorts dance all upons. Ness is confused.

The only one who can save us from Nihilism is Einstein.

The book they take that from, The Mysterious Stranger, is my favorite Mark Twain book (but I haven't read Huckleberry Finn yet, I might pick that up next). In its last pages, it takes a turn for the bizarre, with Satan (he's actually not Satan himself, but Satan's nephew who shares his name) telling the main character:

Quote:"In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever--for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!...You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier.

"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"

He vanished, and left me appalled, for I knew, and realized, that all he said was true.

Though the version I read was unfortunately heavily edited by his biographer, I believe it's one of the only versions available.

So why does the grapes kid sound like he's 14 when all the other kids sound normal? I like how they throw in there "Looks like my Pa on Saturday night!"

That's cool to know.

Incidentally, the second video of that same post was originally based on a paper by Thomas Paine. :D
