What If...

2005-03-23T11:34:00.000-05:00

the World was triangular

we were unisexual

the Sun has H2o instead of H2

opposites had no opposites

we lived under the Earth, walking upside down

knives shoot and guns stab

rains from Earth to the Sky

there was no Time

past, present & future are the same

we are born old and die young

light has sound

all elements have only one property

babies give birth to mothers

Satan is good and God is evil

there was NOTHING
