Many giant leaps for mankind…
Saturday, May 21st, 2005This week was the 1st week of summer classes for me. I have the same class every day, 5 days a week. I did not skip any class at all this week. I am proud of myself for accomplishing what has up till now been an impossible feat for mankind*.
Monday, i went to class. I understood everything that was said on the 1st day. This is also another great accomplishment for the human race. Tuesday and Wednesday were also record setting days. The future indeed looks bright for us humans.
Thursday came, and it was an equally impressive day. Granted, i woke up a bit late and missed 5 minutes of class at the beginning, but i managed to grasp everything that happened, and even extrapolate the information i received to recover what was missed in the 1st 5 minutes. Another giant leap for mankind. They seemed to be on a roll those past few days. Only one thing bugged my mind that fine Thursday. Right after class ended, the professor mentioned that there will be no class the next day. I wondered what the occasion for holiday was, as this certainly was not planned, and it was not my birthday either. After a bit of thought, i decided that i had accomplished enough for the week and i should just head home and rest.
I got home and headed straight for my technology throne**. It was this throne from which i commanded all that stood before me with my optically tracked laser pointing device***, and watched over them on my 2 all seeing eyes****.
I checked the time/date indicator and to my greatest surprise, it showed 12.00pm Friday, 20th May 2005. A full 24 hours after i expected it to be. Then it dawned upon me that i had solved one of the world’s greatest mysteries. This is truly what separates a human from a mere monkey. The ability to transcend time.
Surely there will never be another week in the history of mankind in which he would accomplish so many great things…

Definitions for monkeys:
* i am the only human, the rest of you are just sophisticated monkeys.
** you monkeys call this a "computer chair"
*** what monkeys call a "mouse". Damn you monkeys make everything sound so cheap and trivial
**** i am still trying to find the proper monkey language translation for this. But i believe the closest translation is "awesome dual 21 inch Trinitron monitors". Damn you monkeys like to make things sound so long and confusing.
***** monkeys are stupid
