I think i'm really losing my voice. As in i don't speak anymore. Maybe its due to some trauma. Those blinking vertical lines on the computer screen which people call text cursor could be quite a traumatic experience. Don't believe me, try counting the number of times it flashes. One, two, three ... fourty-two! And it starts all over again from one. Fourty-two! The answer to the meaning of life!

While i understand that fourty-two is the answer to the meaning of life, i do not understand the meaning of fourty-two. Why and how is it the answer to the meaning of life? So i tried to decipher the morse code message that the blinking cursor is telling me.

If i tilt my head left, the cursor looked exactly like a dash. If i tile my head right, the cursor looked like a dash too, surprise surprise. And when i double check with the morse code table, i realise the blinking cursor was telling me "MOOTCh MOOTCh MOOTCh MOOTCh". Um... watever mootch is.

But if instead of looking at the physical properties of the cursor, and i watch for how long it appears in the screen, it seems to be telling me a string of dots instead. Well, the blinking seem pretty fast to me. And if it were a string of dots... it seemed to be saying "SHE HISS I HISS SHE HISS I HISS". OMG What kind of a message is this.

Unable to decipher the meaning of fourty-two, i tried alternating both methods of interpretation. Tilting the head and looking at the length of time the cursor appears. And doing that, finally, the message made sense, coz this time i was getting dots and dashes. Its saying, "ALIENS ARE COMING TO EAT YOUR COMPUTER TOMORROW", woah, go ahead mate, i couldn't care less, the blinking cursor is destroying my bwain. Eat 'em all up.

Oh wait, there's another message, "I NEED MORE SLEEP". Huh? What's that? The computer needs more sleep? Oh well, i'll give it a pass for the moment, and concentrate on the aliens.
