Linguistic Scribbles 

It happened again. A total disconnect from the English language.

Did you know that staring at a sign for a long period of time is analogous to repeating the same word over and over again? It dissolves into mere gibberish and for a moment you feel like the language you grew up with is completely foreign. I couldn't tell the difference between the turn arrow and the symbolic squiggles of O, N, L, and Y.

How's that for taking a step outside your mind?
