lazy eyes still watching T.V.

okay, i've noticed that people(kids and Adults) who turn of the T.V. with their remote sometimes stay at the T.V. and just stare at either the black screen or the ant race(the screen full of static) why is that?

I don't think I know anybody who does that, but my mother watches T.V. 24/7... it's sad really.

When the turn TV is turned off, most people just imagine hot pigs dancing around in g-strings as a wolf tries to gobble them up. The intense look is a natural side effect of imagining piggy pornography being displayed onto a screen.

There we go. A perfect end to the perfect topic. I'd clsoe this, but I derive leasure from the sexy pigs, thus its relevant.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.

Actually its quite interesting when you do turn off the Television.

Because you have that split second where everything on the screen goes into that tiny glowing dot in the center of your television screen. Maybe some people like to watch that. Just think all the shows the static the light waves of color are all concentraited within that tiny dot when you shut your TV off.

And another interesting fact is when you are watching static (Hence watching fuz or Niagra Falls) you are actually seeing what it was like before the Universe ever existed. Wierd isn't it?

Yep very profound isn't it?

Just think there can be someone watching us in the fuz on his TV. and then we are watching some other Universe and then they are watching some other and so on and so forth. That is Odd!

But I am not sure if it is like that though. What I think it is , is that what you are seeing is the very stuff that everything is made out of "atoms." So in simpler terms yes there are mini Galaxies forming but what your looking at is the stuff the Universe is made out of. Interesting. Don't you think?
