Pinocchio Saves the World and Does a Great Service to Aslan

Here's another bit of completely useless information:

My family and I just got back from Priest Lake with all the aunts and uncles and cousins and Grandma, which was fantastic fun, by the way, and in the car on the way back, we listened to an audiobook of The Horse and His Boy by Mr. C.S. Lewis.

If you're not familiar with The Horse and His Boy, then let me tell you there's a bit at the end in which the villain gets turned into a donkey. I was trying to picture that happening, and in my brain it ended up looking like the kids turning into donkeys near the end of Pinocchio.

In The Horse and His Boy, the villain, whose name is Rabbidash if I'm spelling that right, gets turned into a donkey by Aslan in order to make him look ridiculous and humilify him. But while watching Pinocchio, the average Pinocchio Watcher might ask, why turn the boys into donkeys? Why not dragons or giant squids so that the villains can take over the world instead of pulling carriages?

Here's why:

1. In The Horse and His Boy, Aslan turns Rabbidash into a donkey in order to humble him and make him look like an idiot, because Rabbidash is a scum-sucking moron. BUT, Aslan tells Rabbidash how to undo the enchantment, which Rabbidash does, so then he can go back to his kingdom and be the Tisroc (may he live forever).
2. This isn't in the book, but Rabbidash has a son who is very angry at Aslan making his father and Tisroc (may he live forever) the laughing stock of Calormene and Narnia and Archenland.
3. So, Rabbidash's son (I don't know his name, so I'll call him Phreddrique) invents The Craft of Turning People Into Donkeys so that he can turn as many people into donkeys as he wants for revenge, and hopefully make everybody forget about his father's brief spell as a donkey pun intended I win. This is evil because he's doing it out of spite and for his own satisfaction, whereas Aslan did it only once, and for Rabbidash's own good.
4. Phreddrique passes on the knowledge of How To Turn People Into Donkeys to his son, who passes it to his son, etc, but nobody uses it because it hasn't been perfected yet.
5. UNTIL we come to The Villain From Pinocchio who is a descendant of Rabbidash and Phreddrique (I'll call him Phreddrique IV because I don't know his name either). Phreddrique IV perfects the Craft of Turning People Into Donkeys, but he doesn't quite know if it works yet, so he tests it out on lots of little boys. First, he tempts them to be bad by bringing them to Pleasure Island, so it's his way of trying to shove it in Aslan's face and saying "Har, Aslan, look I can make bad people into donkeys too."
6. Presumably, his plot was dissolved after Pinocchio escaped and told everybody about it, but that's not in either of the stories.

So, in a nutshell, the Villain from Pinocchio is Rabbidash's descendant trying to get revenge on Aslan, and the whole Pinocchio story takes place in Narnia, which is why Jiminy Cricket can talk. I know Figaro and Chleo can't talk, but there are animals who can't talk in Narnia, so that's OK.

Good night!

The Tao of Idiots

Hello!

I'm in philosophical mood again today, so here goes.

Idiot Philosophy by Elizabeth

From what I've seen on TV and read in books and what-not, stupid people are a lot happier than smart people because stupid people are more easily entertained by and interested in things.

For example:

1. Forrest Gump is stupid and he has fun just cutting grass.
2. Gilligan is stupid and he's very proud of himself for doing small things right like building a sign that says "Gilligan Raft Maker" or for picking up a coconut without breaking it when he's high on radioactive spinach that gives him super strength.
3. Arthur Shappey is stupid and has a lot of fun tossing apples from hand to hand and spotting yellow cars, and like Pooh (see #8), his non-existent brain doesn't tell him that there could be other things that could make him even happier.
4. Sam Gamgee isn't stupid, but he's more simple-minded I guess, and he's always cheerful about whatever's going to happen, which is key in getting Frodo up Mount Doom and getting the Ring destroyed. So Sam saved Middle Earth just as much as Frodo did, although technically Smeagol accidentally saved Middle Earth. But that's a whole other discussion.
5. Gandalf calls Pippin a fool a lot because he's a jerk, but if you read the book, Pippin knows that bottom line, there's a war and his friends are in danger and he's going to do his best to kick orc butt and help his chums while being as cheerful as possible.
6. Neville Longbottom is supposed to be stupid, but he's driven by kicking evil butt the best he can, and this leads him to cut off Voldemort's snake's head, thus destroying another Horcrux and saving the day.
7. Edmund Pevensie isn't known for being stupid, but he was stupid in trusting the White Witch and almost getting his family killed, but that helped him to demolish the Witch's wand because he hated her guts after being in her custody and he probably wanted to make up for his previous stupidity.
8. Pooh Bear is "a bear of very little brain," but he doesn't mind because he has friends and a home and honey, which is enough for him to be happy. He doesn't want more, because his non-existent brain doesn't tell him that there's more he could have to be even happier.
9. St. Bernadette wasn't famous for being smart and there's a story about her where she couldn't remember what the Trinity was, but now she's a Saint in Heaven, so she's probably fairly satisfied with how her life turned out.
10. There's a bit of the book "The Little World of Don Camillo"  by Giovanni Guareschi where Don Camillo is chatting with Christ on the crucifix in the little church, and Don Camillo says something stupid, so he corrects himself by saying something like "I am a poor, ignorant priest and my head is full of fog," to which Christ replies, "where there is Don Camillo, he is sufficient in himself. It is often the intellect which fogs the brain."
11. Bertie Wooster is described by Jeeves as having "a heart of gold" but being "somewhat mentally negligible," if I'm getting that quote right, and that's why he's so awesome.

So in a nutshell (in my opinion anyway)

stupid people = happy and awesome

and

smart people also = happy and awesome except for the ones who are grumpy and lame like Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins as opposed to the Professor from Gilligan's Island.

Truly stupid people are almost never grumpy and lame.

Billions of people have probably already thought of that, and I don't know if it's actually true or not because I haven't evaluated the worldly population's IQ and happiness level, but it's a new-ish concept for me.

Hot Men from The Planet Zoosk

I was on Facebook just now, and there was an ad on the side that said "Find your next hot date on Zoosk." I think Zoosk is meant to be a website, but it sounds like an Alien Planet. Maybe Facebook has noticed that my relationship status has been "single" for the last five years, so it's assuming that if I wanted to have a boyfriend, I'd have one by now because the Planet Earth is teeming with eligible bachelors, but for some reason I've found fault with every single one of them, so Facebook is giving me the option of dating Hot Men from the Planet Zoosk.

I never knew there was a Planet Zoosk, if Facebook is talking about a planet. What bothers me is that if people have found out how to use technology for intergalactic internet dating, why aren't there any cordless vacuum cleaners? Or maybe there are. I don't know. But I've been wanting one for eons and I've never encountered one. But I'd rather have a cordless vacuum cleaner than a Hot Date from The Planet Zoosk.

Speaking of technology, about a year-ish ago, my Dad bought us some toilets with two flushers on them which you use depending on what you felt like doing while using the toilet. The point is to conserve water I think. It's a bit awesome. It'd be even more awesome if the Toilet People took it to the next level and put a dial on the toilet so you can indicate how much you went so that the toilet only uses the bare minimum amount of water that's needed for flushing. It would be like a toaster, only instead of "dark," and "medium," and "bagel," and stuff, there would be something like "a little bit," "a moderate amount," "a lot," and "a ton." I'm sorry I'm getting gross now. And it's time for breakfast. Toodle-pip!

How Peter Pan Created the World of Harry Potter

I was thinking about Peter Pan the other day and I realized something that completely altered my interpretation of Harry Potter. I don't remember why I was thinking about Peter Pan, but I think I'm entitled to think about Peter Pan if I want to without giving a reason, because this is America and I can think about Peter Pan if I jolly well want to. Anyway, like I said, I was thinking about Peter Pan. I was thinking about the part about when Peter says that in order to fly, you have to think Happy Thoughts, and I realized that that's the same thing you have to do in order to get rid of Dementors.

So, if

Happy Thoughts = Flying

and

Happy Thoughts = No Dementors

then

Flying = No Dementors

which doesn't actually make sense because Dementors fly, and that's how they get around.

BUT

maybe

Humans Flying = No Dementors

SO

maybe

There's only a limited amount of flying energy in the Universe, and if humans are taking it all up, then Dementors can't have any. So that would mean that humans require a lot more energy to fly because one human, like Harry Potter, can suck all the flying energy out of hundreds of Dementors, which is what he did in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The reason that people in Harry Potter World don't fly when they think Happy Thoughts to get rid of the Dementors is because they don't have any Pixie Dust. Presumably, Pixies evolved into things like the Cornish Pixies that Professor Lockhart set loose in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And those Pixies were unfriendly, so it would be a bit difficult to catch one and coax some Pixie Dust out of it.  

Tinker Bell is a bit unfriendly in Peter Pan, cause she tries to kill Wendy a few times, but the difference between her and the Cornish Pixies is that the Cornish Pixies have more Animal Instincts and are less human-like. This was probably caused by somebody discovering a Cure For Pixie Cancer and feeding it to all the Pixies, except for it somehow went wrong and changed the Pixies into more Fearsome Thingummies, like in I am Legend.

So this is what happened in a nutshell:

1. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell live a jolly life in Neverland.
2. After Wendy and everybody leave and that story's over, somebody in Neverland discovers a cure for Pixie Cancer and all of the Pixies in Neverland get shots.
3. The Pixier Cancer Shots go wrong, and the Pixies become dangerous and start taking over Neverland.
4. Peter Pan leaves Neverland to escape the Pixie Coup and comes to Our World, but accidentally brings some Psychotic Pixies with him.
5. The Psychotic Pixies migrate to Cornland where they become the Cornish Pixies from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
6. Peter Pan has lived in Neverland for so long that Magic is in his Genetic Makeup.
7. Since Peter Pan lives in Our World now, he grows up, gets married, and has children.
8. Peter Pan's children inherit Magic Powers.
9. Peter Pan's children are The First of The Wizards.
10. Eventually, the Magicalness of Peter Pan's children spreads across England and the Whole World, until four Wizards decide to found a School for Witchcraft and Wizardry so that Magic Children can expand their Magical Abilities.
11. Since being happy helps with the ability to fly, it also helps with the ability to become Magical. So, when a Grumpy Child is born into a Wizard family, he isn't very Magical and becomes a Squib. His Happy Magic Energy goes to a different child, sometimes one in a Muggle family, thus creating a Muggle-born. There are Grumpy People who are Magical, like Snape, but Snape got his Magical Energy from his love for Lily Potter. You could say that Voldemort is grumpy, but he sort of enjoys what he does, and he has a goal and a purpose, so that feeds his Wizard Energy. Filch doesn't have much to live for except his cat and his janitor job, which is why he doesn't have much Wizard Energy.
