The logic utilized by our mind in our dreams has a very interesting quality: It does not add up, but it makes sense in a weird way.

Mr. Arrow And The Styrofoam Cup

�4

Grace: Ian, we have the chemical formulas for five compounds. We want to make from them Styrofoam cups. The fifth formula makes the compounds bind, but they won’t bind. John has been trying to solve the equations in terms of calculus, here is what he has so far.

Ian: The problem seems to be here: the equations cannot be solved, this term does not make any sense.

John: I researched it and, that term, means take each book written about the com-pounds and read them in the following order, except the last book, put it before the first and turn it upside down.

Grace: Ian, let’s go talk to your Geography teacher, Mr. Arrow, he has a way of figuring things out.

Mr. Arrow: Forget all the math that John is doing, just make the compounds in the lab, then mix them in different ways to get different things. Take me to the lab.

At the lab Mr. Arrow makes the five compounds, then mixes them in different ways and gets several different results then says: “These compounds will make many different things. Play with those until you get the Styrofoam cup.”

Mr. Arrow: Let me see that equation that doesn’t make sense. I see, it doesn’t mean take the last book on these subjects, put it before the others, and turn it up-side down. If you do that, it won’t be readable and you won’t get any information on how to make the first compound. That term in the equation that doesn’t make any sense says, rather, take the last book and cut it in half.

Mr. Arrow pulls out a machete and in one swift slice, cuts the book in half.

Mr. Arrow: With the book cut in half, we will be guided to the right page to read on making the fifth compound.

�5

Mr. Arrow takes the fifth book and reads the page provided by slicing the book in half.

Mr. Arrow: Here is the problem, it says “Compound may or may not bind com-pounds for making Styrofoam.”

Baseball

�7

I was up to bat. The pitcher threw his first pitch and I hit the ball driving it right up between the pitcher and first base. I was running fast to first base and the fielder snagged the ball and threw it to second base since he was pointed in that direction. I land at first base base:

Fielder: You are out.

Me: But you threw the ball to second base.

Fielder: It does not matter what base I throw the ball to as long as it gets there be-fore you get to the base you are running to.

Me: No. In order to out me you have to get the ball to the base I am running to be-fore I get there.

Pitcher: No. That is only if the bases are loaded, then the fielder must throw the ball to the base you are running so we know which of the runners is outed.

Me: I am leaving this dream, it is too Kafkaesque for me.

Then I woke up.

Manuel Incorporated

Manuel Incorporated - Excerpt

Manuel, was not just any man of business. He maintained a business relationship with some off world, interstellar societies. He was not just a politician, but an exopolitician: He was often an ambassador for humanity to worlds beyond our solar system, despite humans having never built a craft that could leave it and go to the stars. He saw no reason why off earth intelligent life should not be included in his business domain. Gypsies never have known borders since that day they left India and went west, however, few people have ever known that the space surrounding the earth was not a border to them either.

Manuel Incorporated was set up in the Alpha Centauri Star System about four point two light years away. It was there that he negotiated the construction of a sphere, called the Europium Sphere, in orbit around Alpha Centauri, at Lagrange point, as a source for the element europium, because it had great value as a phosphorescent substance that can be used as the source of red and blue in computer screens and fluorescent lights. Those were the colors that this phosphores-cent substance would radiate, or glow, in other words.

It must be understood that the Element Europium, is highly reactive: That is, it combines with anything it comes in contact with. It cannot exist isolated. Therefore, the Europium sphere was combined with oxygen to make the compound ((Eu_2)(O_3)) that is, the compound Europium (III) Oxide (Europium Three Oxide).

The answer to the construction of Europia was simple. Consider the Summary written in Volume One of Cosmic Archaeology:….

The moon is about three times larger than the Europium Sphere, or about pi times larger.

Manuel Incorporated – Excerpt

Thus the size of the Europium Sphere in Orbit around Alpha Centauri was 565 kilometers. The density of Europium Three Oxide is: 7.40 grams per cubic centimeter. The volume of the Eu-ropium Sphere in cubic centimeters is:

(4/3)(3.141)(565 km)^3 = 7.55 E 08 cubic kilometersor (565)(1000)(100) = 5.65E7 cm

(4/3)(3.141)(5.65E7 cm)^3 = 7.55E23 cubic centimeters

That corresponds to:

(7.55E23)(7.4) = 5.587E24 grams of Europium Three Oxide(5.587E24 g)/(1000) = 5.587E21 kilograms of Europium Three Oxide

5.587E18 metric tons.

The stuff was made out of common substances from dead worlds, in a process of nuclear chem-istry, not yet an available technology on Earth.

The stuff sold for far more than a euro per metric ton in galactic denomination, and Manuel In-corporated was thus worth well more than 18 figures.

Manuel Incorporated In France - Excerpt

Among his on Earth businesses, he had a restaurant in Paris, France on the Rue Di Bazaar that sold one thing: chocolate truffles. However each truffle was served in the sun on a patio, wrapped in foil made of gold. You can imagine the prices on the menu, and the clientele…

Manuel’s Intergalactic Cargo Industry - Excerpt

Manuel distributed his Europium Three Oxide throughout the Galaxy by employing Free Traders throughout the Galaxy who piloted cargo ships. The only currency he accepted was bricks of pure gold. He then employed Gypsy artisans, many of them family, to pound out the gold into thin, flat sheets of gold foil that he used to wrap his truffles for his Parisian truffle business. His earnings went towards funding his research institute, Manuel’s Genesis Project which did re-search for turning dead worlds into life supporting paradises inspired by the Project Genesis that was a theme of a Star Trek movie. He actually sent me a document that was part of the research produced. It was the following:…

Manolo Sanlúcar

�13

I was very curious about how Manolo Sanlúcar achieved so much in his music:

I took the diced vegetables and fruits out of the box that held the cassette. “This bright green cilantro, these crisp white onions, these brilliant red tomatoes, all diced with such style, finess, and beauty. Just look at the curve in that onion. Manolo Sanlúcar is such a talented artist. They are all in the music on this cassette of his music just as they appear in the packing. But, how, with the tape of the cassette being so thin, and these diced vegetables being so thick, how were they fit on such a paper thin magnetic strip, to be played and listened to in all their art?

Yesterday I went to New Mexico from where live in California, about 1500 miles from there, be-cause upon learning from my father that they took out the lake and put in a highway so that people no longer have to swim there, it is now only a two hour trip. He suggest we we go there. And we did. It only took about 5 minutes to get there.

Executive One: I have an idea: Let’s invest in the highest grade pork we can and sell it to the finest gourmet restaurants in France, then, take the waste, the ears and snout, and make a low grade sausage that we put on a croissant with eggs and American cheese, then sell it at a price of using high grade sausage. People won’t only love it, they will love it more than if we used high grade sausage. We will be making big profits because of the small investment. What do you think?

Executive Two: I like it.

Bob Dylan And The Arrowheads

�15

A long night waiting outside to photograph a UFO with my iPod. Around midnight I gave up. I went in my room and put my flashlight and iPod on my bed beside me and went to sleep. There I was with Bob Dylan, we were both on peddle bicycles, peddling through an abandoned Indian Reservation. The wood fence posts were old, and dried out, there was no sign that ranching or farming was going on, or had for a long time. I stopped at the sight of some obsidian arrow-heads neatly laid out on the ground. I said “Look, arrowheads”. Bob Dylan said they were not authentic. I asked if he thought it would be alright if I took them. He said: “I think so, if anyone asks I will say I said it was alright.” I gathered them then we both began to peddle off when suddenly we found several American Indians on peddle bikes chasing us. Bob Dylan and I started trying to escape, and Bob Dylan yelled at me: “Be like a sphere, curve!” As the Indians came after me I curved around them, I yelled out: “Bob Dylan said it would be alright to take the arrowheads!” They answered: “No, it isn’t!” Eventually Bob Dylan was gone, he escaped and I was captured! I told the American Indians that I was American Indian. My younger brother ap-peared behind me and said: “That makes all the difference.” They said, “You are? What are you called?” I said those from whom I descended were a long time ago, I don’t know our,…” (I couldn’t think of the word.) Then there was a Latin American who appeared. I said to him, “Well the word in Spanish is apeido; you have plenty of them” (In Spain people take on the last name of their father and mother).

Suddenly I found myself with my feet tied to something like a huge water ski and I was before a great dam with water rising up 20 feet. Floating on the top of the dammed-up water was an American Indian on a water ski. He said: “In a minute the dam will break and the water will come gushing down, sweeping you away. As you ride the current,… if your ski starts to rise, and you find yourself flying, you are American Indian. The dam broke and he came down surf-ing the current with me just behind him. His ski began to rise, then he was flying, then mine started to rise, and there I was flying just behind him.

Then, as I was sleeping I rolled over in my bed as my eyes began to open and I rolled over on top of my iPod, which turned it on and it started playing the album by Bob Dylan called Love And Theft. I heard him singing: “I got a long haired woman, she’s got real Indian blood.”

Churches Competition

�17

I was informed that there was to be an international competition of Medieval, block-shaped churches made out of wood, just simple cubes with all faces squares, equal in size. Represen-tatives from The United States government informed me that Mexico offered up one of their Me-dieval, wood block churches for the U.S. to use in the competition with Spain and they commis-sioned me to restore the church after showing me a photo of Spain’s in order to get an idea of what I was up against. I did an estimate, saying I need this many square feet of lumber, cut to such and such lengths and so many yards of cloth. After restoring the faces with the deep brown lumber, I hung the decorative cloth on the the faces of the church walls. Upon inspection by the overseer, she told me the restoration was fine work, except for my choice of cloth, which she promptly replaced. Upon seeing the new cloth, I had to agree my choice was, indeed, of bad taste, and immediately agreed that it was tacky, if not cheesy.

Climate Trends

The analysts looked at the geologic record and core samples and plotted the pattern of the earth’s climate over the millennia. It said, if the trend was accurate, that the earth would freeze over in 2015, not warm, then, in 2023, on September 23rd, the earth would begin to warm to a point where the earth would become uninhabitable. It would seem when the mathematicians projected the earth’s climate trends, they came up with the exact same scenario.

The Paint Job

by

Ian Beardsley (September 17, 2015)

My older brother was moving up North. He left me not just with his paint sprayer, but a client, an unfinished job; I was to finish a job for him the next day. I arrived on the site and the man who trims our trees was already there, spraying the hedges with a paint sprayer, making sure each leaf was painted evenly. I thought could you imagine what a job it would be if you had to paint each leaf on these bushes one at a time with a brush.

I found myself driving my brother’s old truck to the job, which, he gave me as well to haul the paint sprayer with.

I was driving the truck to the site when I ran into an old girlfriend. She hopped in the back of the truck and agreed to be my partner in the job. When we arrived at the site, she said to knock on the door, and that they wouldn’t be home, but that they left the instructions with their children of what parts of their cars they wanted painted. Apparently, we were to paint not just their hedges, but their cars as well.

My old girlfriend told me the client had a studio in their basement and that they said we could use it. After finishing the job, we went down into the studio. My old girlfriend told the people who were there that I played the guitar. They were all from Russia. There must have been twenty of them.

They asked me to play something. My old girlfriend told me to get out my guitar and to play something for them. I got out my guitar and started playing fandangos. They all loved it. After I finished it, a woman got up on the stage and started singing a traditional Russian folk song. I found I could accompany it if I played two stanzas of fandangos followed by two stanzas of sevillanas.

Everyone there joined in with the singing. When we were done, they told me they had never known anyone that could accompany their kind of songs with a guitar. I attributed the ability to my knowledge of flamenco. They told me that, in Russia, the kind of songs they were singing were called seguirillas. I told them that in my music, which comes from Spain, there is a song called seguirillas as well, but that it was totally different that what they were singing. I found it interesting that my fandangos combined with sevillanas worked well with their seguirillas.

The Social

I went to a social dinner with my Dad, my Mom, my two brothers, and their wives. My Sister-in-Law was putting food on the table that she made and brought as we sat down to eat. After eat-ing, we retired to the living room to chat and my Dad had hung himself up on one of the crosses the hosts made available for those who preferred not to sit. As we were talking a man of the cloth, and his wife, arrived and they sat on a sofa in one of the rooms adjacent to the living room and were socializing with people. I said something in the living room and my Dad, from the cross, said something about what I said about a Gypsy in Spain. I said, “No, that wasn’t Mano-lin, that was Miguel.” My older brother said, “Ah, we haven’t heard anything about Miguel.”

I announced in the room where the man of the cloth was that I was going to get my skateboard and go skateboarding. I asked where my Dad was, and my Sister In Law said he let himself down from the cross and left the part early. My Mom said it would be rude to leave the party and go skateboarding. The man of the cloth interjected that it would be fine. My Mom, where everyone was talking in the room where the man of the cloth was, said, “Antonio doesn’t have any children.” I said, “Yes he does, he just didn’t marry.” My Mom answered: “Aha, he didn’t marry the woman.” The man of the cloth interjected, “That is because the women are Jewish and the Gypsies are Christian.” I interjected, “ No, they don’t do marriage because the Gypsies are from the east and don’t believe in marriage, that is a western tradition.”
