Story 18. Written by Jim Waitlord

Okay, listen up, guys, because I'm gonna tell you about two dudes who are anything but boring. They’re the ones writing this page you're peeking at. Two geniuses, I’m serious, Eastern European style. Not just any geniuses, mind you, they were born 10 days apart, in a nice fall month back in '66. One on November 19th, the other on the 29th, and the one born on the 19th lives at number 29. The other one? He chills at number 49. And get this, both those numbers are prime, they’re totally first-class, even their birthdays are prime numbers, it’s wild.

They haven’t done much work in their lives, they’re happy with next to nothing. But now, to have more adventures and keep their page going, they need some dough. So, if you’re curious about where this whole experiment is heading, send them a little something, whatever you think is fair. That way you can jump down the rabbit hole with them!

Just imagine, after a while, this whole thing might turn into a daily diary format, with them two writing side-by-side, from their very own perspectives. You’ll see how their page grows week after week, like a real living thing. And what will it offer? Well, a whole lot of cool stuff.

Like, for example, there’s that DNA search thing too. What is it? Well, I can't spill the beans just yet, but if you keep reading, you'll find out soon enough.

Now, their philosophy is basically that there are rules in the world, like gravity, and those basic interactions, but there are also some rules that the human brain just can't grasp. Like the fact that whatever you plan or expect, it’s guaranteed not to happen that way, or the complete opposite will happen.

Those who don't plan are more successful or happier because they don’t feel disappointment. People set the bar too high, and then they knock it over, and even if it’s lower, they still fail. That’s why there are so many unhappy people. Basically, the poor in spirit might be the happiest.

They say they’re gonna create some mind-blowing things in real life, like how to become the Pope, or a billionaire, or even a Nobel laureate. Or how to live forever. Not necessarily stuck in this body, but by uploading our consciousness into a quantum computer where we can experience other dimensions of reality. The unlimited freedom of existence, you feel me?

There was this one poor guy, who couldn’t even make a promise. In the hospital, in the psych ward, two other guys always sat together for dinner. They shared each other’s food, and tasted it all, it was way better than the hospital stuff. So, I joined in one time, and brought my food too. Mine wasn’t as good, but we shared anyway, and it was cool. Then one day I said, “Your families are gonna visit, they’ll bring fried chicken!” The next day they asked where the fried chicken was and the rest. I told them they brought it, but I threw it away because it was probably poisoned. They just said, “Oh, yeah, sure,” and after that we never had separate dinners.

They also reckon that the world has too many countries, so it should just be two poles: one in America, and the other in China. And then they can compete with each other through sports, super hard, life or death style, just like the old Mayans. It’s a waste to throw money into space, because quantum computers will teleport us anywhere. Instead of looking for planets, look for moons and spend the money on developing quantum computers.

So yeah, that’s basically them. Crazy, but smart too. Give them what they’re asking for, and you’ll see where all of this is headed. You just might not regret it!
