The Real Answer to Why we are all Crazy

Thanks to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, all of our problems have been solved! Since I now know that entropy increases over time in a closed system leading to increasing disorder, everything suddenly makes sense. Humanity dwindles into greater ineptitude simply because it cannot happen any other way. We truly are victims of circumstance.

Whew, what a relief, I thought I was going to have to resort to Shamanism for a quick fix.

Since we are resigned to a destiny of growing chaos what are we to do – wash our hands and chalk it up to Intelligent Design? Perhaps bake a cake? One thing is certain, we better stop coming up with clever acronyms for every little issue that occurs. Better yet, maybe we should just adopt the end-all be-all acronym – SLOT (Second Law Of Thermodynamics). This way the next time you don’t feel like being accountable, just tell The Man SLOTs got you down.

    hahaha….oh man i just confused “we didn’t start the fire” with “its the end of the world as we know it”. They’re the same chaotic song anyway.

    It’s okay Andrew, you are simply suffering from SLOT.
