I had two identical sets of metal rods, used to assemble two identical metal dog crates. The set that was in storage went missing. I looked all over for them, but they never did turn up. <br /><br />I have bad luck with "pairs" of things - two similar, but not-quite-identical objects. When I cracked the left pedal on one bicycle, the left pedal on my other (spare) bicycle immediately became cracked. When I bought a new washing machine, at first it malfunctioned in the same way as the old washing machine, until I broke out the warranty. When I bought a different car, the windshield started leaking in the same place as my old car. <br /><br />If we are living in a computer simulation, I would have to put this down to bad programming, or over-zealous pruning of redundant data to save system resources. I call it the "sock" error. Of course, if I really did believe we were living in a computer simulation, the obvious explanation for a poltergeist or spirit would be a hacker.

Tends to leave a fairly nonlinear fossil record, and remnants on other planetary bodies that have no business being there. <br />I suspect bits and pieces end up in frozen orbits, and way down deep.<br /><br />Physical and temporal dislocation probably is some combination of retarded and haunted.<br />Of course, any macroquantum event would hardly seem classical, upon further investigation.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608287618412195836.post-78266314628225930942016-08-16T09:47:30.365-07:002016-08-16T09:47:30.365-07:00I've had a couple of experiences similar to th...I've had a couple of experiences similar to these. I put them in a blog post a while back- everything is true, and is how I remember it. <a href="http://blog.kentforliberty.com/2012/06/odd-tales-of-my-life.html" rel="nofollow">Odd Tales of my life</a>Kent McManigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005964583189815410noreply@blogger.com
