CJ won't be coming over today, but the plan is him possibly coming over tomorrow because of this being labor day weekend.



Other Universes


         A lone scientist invented a device to peer into other universes and he found out that things are a different in them. Scrambled, switched...however you'd prefer to say it based on how much or where the variant is.
         One universe he saw that coins still had heads and tails but what was called heads they called tails and what was called tails was called heads.
         Another universe dinosaurs still roamed yet mankind still rose alongside them. Rodeos looked to be quite different with a lizard than a horse.
         The third the scientist peered into there had never been a World War II or a World War I because the industrial revolution never happened and most nations still fought and killed each other with spears, swords, bows, arrows, and stones.
          In the fourth he saw that the human ate the homework
          Eventually the scientist decided to invent device to travel between universes. When he started making the machine to travel between the worlds he wanted to make it so that people would believe him...simply peering would be left to scrutiny. And if it was accepted he'd rather not be the one to see universes than be one upped by the guy who would then invent traveling to them based on his technology to see them.
         By the time he finished the device to travel between worlds he looked at so many he grew fond of his own. He knew that people would bring things from the other worlds to his and it would be irreversible. And he'd seen thousands of worlds. Many, many things he didn't want coming to be with him, his family, friends and where he'd grew up. He traveled while working on the machine and that made him more attached to something he didn't want to be tainted or harmed by strange, dangerous things from worlds afar.
         So the scientist destroyed his machines and notes, also hoping no one else would discover it. When he destroyed them he thought of the monsters in other world's he'd seen, but also the cures for diseases and ailments in the worlds that had advanced. To keep the world pure he shut everything out, good and bad.
