For some reason, David123's efforts, in the Religion forum, to define god, supernatural, evolution and purpose in such a way that God is natural, necessary and likely...
Well, for some reason that reminded me of the night of my roommate's breakthrough in physics.
During the day, we had a discussion about science and one thing that came up was the idea that 'gravity is a curve in space.' Or curved space.
Later that night, Mike decided that if we could flatten that curve, we could fly. He became fixated on this idea.
I woke up at 2am to find him pounding the floor of the living room with a mallet, hammering 'the curve' flat, then jumping in the air....and crashing down to the floor like a fucking stone.
Of course, by 'stone' i mean 'a drunken idiot.'
