i noticed that no one posted about 2012. to combine that with alternate universes, i think that in 2012 maybe we'll connect w/an alternate universe... i know that sounds kind of crazy but yeah. what's even weirder than that is that i graduate in 2012...

Thank you for posting those! I loved them all, especially the "talking with your pet on the phone" one! If you have some more, please share them!

I was gonna post soon something about "The Illuminati" and the year 2012! I don't really see the connection about the 2012 and the alternate universes!
