    There is one specific Smashing Pumpkins song (Hello Kitty Kat, I think) where in the last few seconds as the guitars are fading out, Billy says a few unintelligible words, which somehow sound as if they are coming from just over my shoulder when wearing ear buds.

    It scares the shit out of me EVERY single time I listen to it at work because it makes me a coworker is talking in my ear, trying to get my attention.

    I want this to be true so much that I’ve decided to believe it even if it isn’t. Holy shit, I understand religion now!

    This reminded me of a friend’s story. They and another friend get high and go to a 3d movie. Mind you, my friend’s friend is missing one eye. They have only one eye. And they’ve chosen a 3d movie.

    The movie is supremely underwhelming for this unfortunately monocular person, and so they get a highdea. They take off their glasses and start rapidly moving them from side to side, and saying, far too loudly, that they understand 3d now.

    At this point, I have to apologize as I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t hear the rest of their story in anything but bits and pieces, but I think they ended up going to another 3d movie immediately afterward to confirm their findings.

      I don’t even get the 3D effect in movies. It just makes me nauseous and looks pixelated, but doesn’t feel 3-dimensional. I stopped watching 3D movies since I was around 11.

      … That’s actually possible that it made your friend2 understand 3D. They would have manually turned the movie into a Wigglegram and I’ve read of people who finally ‘got it’ after seeing those.

    I regularly get the feeling that Shmi is in the room with me when she sends Anakin to bed. In theaters she’s in the lower left corner of the screen.
