    I have a friend with a severely overweight cat … as she’s feeding him for the fifth time that day, she can’t figure out why her cat is so fat.

    The kitty is so big that it’s incapable of lying down. It has to roll on its back and leave it’s legs hanging in the air to be comfortable.

    There’s a reason why indigenous people called it Mississippi, a word that came from Ojibwe and Algonquin languages, which are related.

    I speak my language of Ojibwe Cree in northern Ontario and it’s very clear for me to understand the word.

    Mishi … is a word we use to describe something as big in size

    Sipi … is the word for River, a major River, as opposed to a small creek or channel.

    In my language and dialect, Mississippi literally translates to just ‘Big River’

    And by the look of this map … it is definitely a ‘Big River’

    “They’re magically delicious”

    Me: … no they’re not … these taste like bland wheat crumbs with stale coffee

    SWAT TEAM breaks down my door: … (smoke bomb fills the room, broken glass everywhere, six officers in full riot gear pointing automatic weapons) … ON THE FLOOR NOW!!! … THEY ARE MAGICALLY DELICIOUS!!! … ANSWER YES OR NO OR YOU WILL BE SHOT!!!

    We’re spoiled … we’ve had actual Neapolitan pizza that was baked in a traditional stone oven in Italy made with carefully prepared dough, fresh ingredients and thick heavy tasty mozzarella and a big ball of bufala campana cheese in the center … pizza so thin, light and tasty that you can eat a whole one yourself and its a proper sized meal … my wife and I both had it and that is the constant standard she is after when she orders those thin crust pizzas here in northern Ontario Canada. I keep telling her that we have to go to the city to find anything remotely like the real Italian stuff and we’ll never get it anywhere else … yet we still keep ordering thin crust pizza hoping that some day some Italian will just make us a real pizza one day and make it for us.

    So it’s no longer a cost/benefit thing … just a nostalgia about pizzas past.

    At this rate, Idiocracy the movie will make us look intelligent because in that portrayal, we could understand their language.

    In our reality, we are messing up our language either deliberately, sarcastically, jokingly, accidently, ignorantly or unknowingly that in a hundred years we won’t be able to understand future generations at all.

    In the future, not only will we act stupid and live in a broken down global environment that we destroyed, we’ll also sound complete stupid as well.
