The meaning of life is shit...

I believe I have answered the ultimate question, and it is not 42, it is shit. Let me start at the beginning of my miraculous epiphany... You see, I was having a deep discussion on the meaning of time and finite vs infinite existence and what have you. In the midst of this, I asked a question; if you could move fast enough, would you be able to get to where you are, before you left? The answer was determined as that you would run up your own ass.



And it struck me...

This was why life is inherently shitty! Reality's up its own ass!

I'm sure most people have seen the snake eating its own tail as a symbol of eternity and rebirth (Ouroboros), ahh it was close, so close. On the other hand, a snake slithering up it's own rectum is hardly an image most artists would find attractive.

And now, in keeping with my tradition of posting pointless shit; i give you the log of my epiphany, so you may revel in it's original glory.
(FYI, I am Tiamat, it is an old nick of mine)

tiamat: if you could run fast enough, could you get to where you were before you left?
mysterious stranger: sure but my asshole would still be there
tiamat: does that mean you'd run up your own asshole?
tiamat: maybe that's the real reason time travel isn't possible
tiamat: everyone who tried and succeeded just ended up, up their own ass
mysterious stranger: maybe.
tiamat: perhaps that's the ultimate truth of reality.... its up it's own ass
tiamat: time!! time is up its own ass!!
mysterious stranger: haha so throw your watch away. its good for shit.
tiamat: we're all shitty
tiamat: i've always thought life was strangely shitty too
mysterious stranger: hell the world is a ball of crap.
mysterious stranger: on a bigger pile of crap.
tiamat: so the answer isn't 42... it's shit
mysterious stranger: I just ate a huge chocolate bar.
tiamat: you could be creating a new universe the next time you hit the bathroom
mysterious stranger: haha mars bars.
tiamat: takes on a whole new meaning
