!moooooB

That was the sound of my brain imploding in the chatroom last night. I seem to remember a scarily serious discussion on the hypothesis that every person is an individual, therefore unlike any other, therefore unique. As ‘normal’ is synonymous with ‘usual’, it is clearly normal to be unique. (Do you follow me so far?) Unique means distinctive, remarkable, peculiar. This is where it gets tricky. Peculiar means abnormal, and the definition of ‘freak’ is an abnormal person or thing. It follows that normality is abnormal, and as Simon stated, normal people are, by definition, freaks.

It was very late.
