Anthony's Points to Ponder While Looking at the Sky


1. The Sun will burn out in approximately 65 years.

2. There are many small gremlins living in the clouds. The make up many different tribes from all around the world. They are not a peaceful people. Most of their economy is based around the production of Machines of War. When they do war (which is often, and in some parts of the world constant) the blood of the wounded and dying falls from the sky. This is what we call "rain."

3. All color comes from the human eye. The top part of the eye is blue. That is why the sky is blue.

4. Birds are flying dinosaurs. Really.

5. The Sun will burn out in approximately 49.5 years.

6. Flowers go to die in ancient flower burial grounds, sometimes traveling for months to reach them.

7. The last item was actually one on "Anthony's Points to Ponder While Looking at the Ground" (Knopf, 1998)

8. Birds do not fly. They are picked up and hurtled from place to place by the gremlins living in the clouds. The flapping of the wings is a bird struggling to escape the grasp of a gremlin.

9. None of these are facts. They are merely points to ponder.

10. The sun will burn out in approximately 10 years.
