And I swear I'm not ADD...

First topic message reminder :

Today I was gonna go see Journey to the Center of the Earth, but this and that and the other changed my plans and I ended up going tire shopping with the family instead. "It'll be ready in about 45 minutes". Cool. So we did some Walmart shopping, went back to the tire center, and they hadn't even started. They said we could wait in the waiting room, which is a small square room with about 8 chairs, a vending machine, and a TV that plays nothing but golf. I was bored out of my skull. I ended up texting a bunch of people all this random stuff, but eventually decided I'd have a nice discussion with my little brother, Preston, about birds and fish. Here's sorta how it went.

Me: Do birds eat fish?

Him: I don't know.

Me: Ask dad.

Him: You ask dad.

Me: You're closer.

Him: Sigh. Dad?

Dad: What?

Him: Do birds eat fish?

Dad. No.

Him (to me): No.

Me: Why not?

Him: I...don't...know!

Me: You would think that birds would eat fish, or at least some of them. I mean, don't eagles swoop down and snap up a salmon or something? What do wild birds eat then? Is there like some birdseed tree that they just gather around and devour? I mean, I know it's said that the early bird gets the worm, but what if you're not a morning bird? What if you like sleeping in? By the time you get up, all the worms are gone. What do you eat then?

Him: Insects. Flying insects.

Me: What, like mosquitos? I thought fish ate mosquitos? And what about the fear of West Nile? Doesn't that affect birds and fish, too? Aren't they a little afraid to eat them? Well, I guess there's always flies, but flies eat mosquitos too. Did you know that a fly only lives for 36 hours? Why would they risk getting West Nile if their life span is only a day and a half? They've got to have like a wife and kids back home to think about...

Him: Flies do not have families.

Me: They have children, that's family. I mean, I guess they could go to, like, a fly doctor or something...

Him: There's no such thing as a fly doctor.

Me: How do you know? How do you know that flies aren't trained to be doctors and lawyers and architects and things like that? They could go to college.

Him: They only live 36 hours. When would they find time to got to college?

Me: They could do it online in one day.

Him: 24 hours?

Me: Yeah. They still got 12 left, which they'd spend passing along what they learned to their children so they wouldn't have to go to college. And then the flies would learn all these professions and build up this Flyopolis thing. But then, what if one of the flies ate a mosquito and got West Nile and liked the feeling, like how people do with drugs? And then he goes out and gets all kinds of infected mosquitos and starts selling them on the streets like drugs? What would flies use for money, anyway? I guess they could use dirt or something...

Him: They wouldn't use something like that.

Me: Yeah, probably not. But then with drugs on the street, you'd need police, which means they'd have to send another fly to college to learn to be a policeman...er...fly. College is not cheap, you know, and I don't think they'd accept fly money. I think that's why flies hang out in people's houses, because they're trying to collect enough human money to send a fly to college to learn to become a policeman so they can control the drug problem in their Flyopolis.

Him: I'm going to go sit somewhere else now.

..........Did I just say that out loud?

Yes.
