Taking into account that I have personally invented Historians, can I claim the credit for the Greeks as well?!?
Maybe there is a monument for me in it somewhere, yes?

Historians Admit To Inventing Ancient Greeks. A group of leading historians held a press conference Monday at the National Geographic Society to announce they had "entirely fabricated" ancient Greece, a culture long thought to be the intellectual basis of Western civilization. Check it out. http://www.theonion.com/articles/histor ... eks,18209/ All I have to say is WOW. |

I was reading it along with my brother and he cracked a joke about it to which I responded all I have to say is wow, to which I do have a problem of writing the things I say and not paying attention to it till it is quite noted as a blunder, and looking back going, "Ha I am a moron". |

Clearly, you, the historians, the ancient greeks, and all of this realtiy exist only as a particularly vivid fruedian hallucination in my own mind. I have invented each of you to play out roles in which my consciousness and subconsciousness can provide meaning, and therefore, relationship. This whole existance is but a fevered dream I am having in the instant of my death, and when I awake, all I will have from it will be the shards and echoes of my memories. This argument is especially compelling given that I have never seen any of your faces, nor had any physical interactions with you. The internet makes existential crises rather entertaining because it is hard to administer the standard cure for a philysophical loop of sensory illusion; being, a good hard slap in the face. I invented you all. Bow before your psychotic master. |

I think you mean a Cartesian hallucination, a solipsistic (good word) dream like that would have nothing to do with anything Freud ever postulated, on the other hand if one of us were your mother or a penis (or some combination of the two)... |

You just described half the people on both SC2, and Xbox live. Clearly Freudian. But you're right, I need to brush up on my psych and philosophy terms next time I want to make this post. |

It's difficult to hold any respect for someone who can't hallucinate anything better than myself :p. |
