Is it possible to have a daydream at night?*

Apparently, if you search for this question on Google, you'll find that we're far from the first to ask it. Guess it's only natural, since none of us ever have an original thought...right? That begs the question - surely somebody, sometime, did have an original thought? I mean, what about the first person who ever had a thought? Or the first primate. The first single-celled organism. Ummmm, wait...!

I'm not a scientist, so I'll shut up now.

*Incidentally, I just did a combination of a hiccup and a burp, and it's been deigned a hiccurp. But the way it's said reminded me of nasty stuff like herpes, and I said, "That sounds like a cross between a burp and an STD." Hence hiccerpes. All of this leads to the revelation that...sometimes librarians can be more gross than funny.

Cups and cups of hiccups

We just had our Melbourne Cup lunch. Oh my GOSH, the secret's out. We are Australian. Oh well, it had to emerge sometime...

Somebody's got hiccups. Another person needs dental floss. Still a third continues to wear her fascinator. She wore it to the shops to buy cheese.

And we are all full of food.

A little bit of champers bubbles away in our veins. Except that not everybody had champagne. One person had beer, and another had a huuuuuge glass of red wine. I was impressed by the volume of that one!
