Send a fat-laden food through, and it becomes a non-fat food. Send it back through the other one, and it remains as is. The only drawback would be that would convert all of the nutrients to non-nutrients. Perhaps Scotty's could be rigged so that it would only convert fat. Then we'd really have something there.

But all I see is my normal, everyday boring life...Driving to work is really me sitting in a chair, with my hands in the air and my feet pressing imaginary pedals...and everytime I tell someone about This Theory, the doctors get all excited, cause maybe I'm having a breakthrough or something, but I'm not cause I WANT to stay in this imaginary world of mine...(they don't think I'm having a breakthrough now, cause they can't see what I'm typing...they only see my hands moving like Im typing. But maybe they put a keyboard under my hands so that what I'm typing shows up on the screen in the doctors office...and right now nurses are running to check and see if I'm finally coming out of this phsychosis(sp?) and maybe my mom and dad are standing there with tears in their eyes, cause they think their little girl is finally gonna get better and....)

> Okay now I'm waaaaaayy spooked. I've thought of that many times myself. Like when I'm looking into a mirror and grooming; I can see myself but they would only see me "blindly" doing this activity. The part that is a little over the edge is when I'm (trying to be fairly tactful about it) evacuating my bladder, and I'm really just standing in a corner in the cushy, white room.
> If THIS *is* the reality and my perception of reality is just an overly elaborate hallucination, then I must be *really* gone, since I don't fall down when I think I'm going up or down stairs. Nor do I feel myself bumping into the walls of my room which I'm sure would happen frequently.

You are just in a VERY large room, and subconsciencely you make allowances, such as turning to go down a hall a different direction when there is a wall in your way (in the REAL world) and your mind is SO convinced that you are actually going up stairs that you can actually feel yourself rising steadily as you put one foot in front of the other. Or maybe THEY have set up a stairmaster for you :)

And the whole bathroom thing...they have nurses running around with buckets for when you decide you need to relieve yourself....scary mental picture, isn't it?

Ti'sorry about that'cia

P.S. I thought I was the only one who ever thought this...And when I tell my friends, they all look at me wierd...(not that they don't look at me wierd anyway...
