I have just learned something that I never even questioned the validity of before. In fact, I'm not even sure that what I've read is true in itself but I want it to be because it makes so much sense.
Strangely, it doesn't enhance or detract from what I previously believed about this subject. It simply explains it so much better than my previous belief system, and I have of course, taken this new superior belief system on board immediately.
In fact, immediately after this posting (which I am only going through with because it's such a great story), I shall stop acknowledging that I ever believed what I previously thought and adopt the new version as the way it has always been in my head - especially because it is true and I can't believe I have been so stupid.
Human nature being what it is, I shall probably also mock - harshly sometimes, especially if said person is younger or more handsome than me - those who still believe that my previous belief is still true.
For what is after all a very minor revelation in the big scheme of things, the fact that Planet of the Apes is not really about time travel but does in fact show time moving quite normally with the humans dropped into the "play" from suspended animation, my existence has titled on its axis.
This boulder of a fact has usurped my previous albatross - that Kiss were still a functioning band during the recording of UnMasked - but I'm really quite pleased that I have found this out before my death. Who would want to be stoned by Angels just because you weren't paying proper attention during the first ten minutes of a movie. That I have seen the film at least ten times is beside the point.
What other revelations will the Gods throw my way?
It's a good job feeling foolish has not propelled me to revengefully reveal my theories about Doctor Who this season... that Amelia Pond is in fact an alien. I have reached this conclusion via my normal anagram skills (Am Alien Pod) and feel very righteous because I have just found out she is revealed to be pregnant in Episode Seven... wait and see...

I have just thought - is Amy made pregnant by one the Angels a la everybody's favourite nativity tale? Hmm.
