There are so many things worth making up. The possibilities are endless. But almost better than thinking of them yourself is seeing what other people come up with. Things that belong to the time when the world was entirely misunderstood, when bizarre conceptions and beliefs ruled, and wierd mechanical explanations of how things worked (just read Descartes’ views on animals) were accepted as fact. How wonderful it must have been to believe the world was flat (unless you were a sailor) and that the sun was a fireball headed to earth. Or that unicorns would still exist had Noah not left them behind on the shore. We believe nothing any more because proving something is so easy – there are so many facts at hand. And yet…I will not relinquish my belief that animals dance at night.
