A group of absolutely stupid sinners walk into a bar

"There was Lorenzo slain and buried in,

There in that forest did his great love cease;

Ah! when a soul doth thus its freedom win,

It aches in loneliness - is ill at peace

As the break-covert blood-hounds of such sin:

They dipp’d their swords in the water, and did tease

Their horses homeward, with convulsed spur,

Each richer by his being a murderer."

"How long in there, in terms of years? 0.000000000067 seconds for the body to Jaunt, but how long for the unparticulated consciousness? A hundred years? A thousand? A million? A billion? How long alone with your thoughts in an endless field of white? And then, when a billion eternities have passed, the crashing return of light and form and body. Who wouldn't go insane?"

"Meine Mutter die Hur,

die mich umgebracht hat,

mein Vater der Schelm,

der mich gessen hat,

mein Schwesterlein klein

hub auf die Bein,

an einem kühlen Ort,

da ward ich schönes Waldvögelein,

fliege fort, fliege fort!"

🕊️

"Εφύρα"

"Lanang Mas"
