Mouth Time Machine
ThePhan: Ha, also, since you didn't see this on Facebook, this is the discussion we had during tonight's dinner date, and which has continued in even more detail on Facebook: What would it be like if your mouth could reverse time? Like if you put food in your mouth and it got younger and younger until it reverted back to its original ingredients? What kind of implications would this have?
ThePhan: But with everything, not just food. My favorite implications with this included eating raisins (he gave me the image of a baby shoving like 30 raisins in its mouth and then freaking out when the raisins suddenly doubled in size as they turned into grapes), throwing up (I said something about being sick, and then we both said at the same time, "BUT THEN IT WOULD TURN BACK INTO FOOD") and sucking your thumb (a child with this power who did this would always have a baby thumb, even as a grown adult).
LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL
LaZorra: You could neverr kiss anyone, either.
ThePhan: Well, we decided it really only worked if something was IN your mouth, not just touching it. So he pointed out that kissing wouldn't necessarily do that unless there was tongue action, in which case you would youngify their tongues.
LaZorra: Man, THAT would be creepy, LOL.
ThePhan: RIGHT?
LaZorra: Wait, would it work on YOUR OWN TONGUE?
ThePhan: OH MY GOSH
ThePhan: PROBABLY
ThePhan: AND YOUR TEETH
ThePhan: THAT WOULD SUCK
LaZorra: You'd be losing your baby teeth FOREVER.
LaZorra: And just think of getting braces. Eventually, the metal would turn back into ore, which would turn back into rock. YOU WOULD HAVE BOULDERS IN YOUR MOUTH.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: I am going to collect the discussions on FB and here about it and post them all on my blog.
LaZorra: LOL
LaZorra: I wonder about juice, too. Would it turn back into chunks of fruit?
ThePhan: Yeah, I think so. And if you then kept it in there longer, the fruit would turn back to seeds.
LaZorra: My brain is spinning.
ThePhan: My sister Rebekah ended up with this WEIRD idea where you could eat fish and then feed guests caviar that you made in your own mouth.
LaZorra: WHOAEWWWW
ThePhan: If she thinks this is acceptable party host etiquette, I am NEVER going to a party she hosts.
ThePhan: She insists it's OK because she wouldn't TELL them that's where it came from.
LaZorra: LOL LOL
LaZorra: Uhm, yeaaaaah, suuuuure...
LaZorra: I was just thinking about language. We'd all think in the modern version of English but end up speaking like William Shatner.
LaZorra: SHAKESPEARE
LaZorra: William SHAKESPEARE
LaZorra: William Shatner takes so long to speak that he'd probably end up sounding like Beowulf.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: William Shakespeare climbeth a mountain. Why climbeth Shakespeare a mountain?
LaZorra: LOL!
