We Would So Misuse Those Magical Keys

 I've talked about Locke and Key before. My son and I just rewatched the series, so of course we were talking about the possibility of what you could do with those keys. My son has a collection of the keys and we do often try to use them and are disappointed when they do nothing.

But that might actually be a good thing. We would so use the keys in so many wrong ways.

We figured the if one uses the Echo key and the Anywhere key, they would created an unkillable army, as echoes can only be destroyed by passing through the threshold of the Well House and there seems to be no limit to how many echoes can be active in the world. And the show right away showed us that if the echo leaves the Well House through the storage closest by using the Anywhere Key, they are free to roam the world.

Then you have the Chain Key, which when used in the lock artifact you can create a chain that seems to have no limit. Wrap that chain around a building and then tighten up the chain, you can bring down the building with next to no effort. So there is a lot of damage that could be done there.

And all the possibilities with the Match Stick Key, which seems to be able to produce flames that will burn anything you touch it to.

At one point we are introduced to Dollhouse (Small World) Key, that works on a miniature of Key House to allow one to interact with the real Key House. My theory is that if you were to have the mini Key House inside the real key House and activate it, then take a needle and reach through the mini Key House and put the point of the needle in the mini Key House inside the mini key House, creating an infinite loop of massive growth if the needle. As this action seems to be instantaneous (If there was even a brief time lag that would be different), that would mean for a moment the needle would become infinite in size for that brief moment, destroying all of reality. Now depending on how the infinite size of the universe actually works (I've gotten lost in thought about the possibilities), that makes a difference to the aftermath of the actions for that one flash of a moment.

And yes, I do believe I would have hard time not testing that theory and most likely destroy reality in the process if I had the chance.

Of course I have some story ideas now based off a team that has to keep such magical destruction from happening due to experiments like that.

The true conclusion has to be that our reality is very lucky we do not have such magical keys just lying around, as I doubt I am the only one who would attempt those kind of experiments. So while I am technically a threat to all of reality, I am sure I am not the only one.

Now That Was One Geeky Conversation

My son and I were out doing some Pokemon hunting today.  We got talking about how the Remoraid (A sardine like fish style Pokemon) makes no sense at all to evolve into a Octillery (Basically an octopus like Pokemon). It is the kind of thing that makes it very clear the creators of Pokemon were on drugs while watching Animal Planet when they came up with most of these creatures and their evolutions. We went through most of the Pokemon and made judgement calls as to how much sense the evolutions made. I think less than half of them really looked right. The creators clearly didn't care at all about logic or study nature when they came up with most of them. They have a basic teddy bear somehow turning into a monster grizzly bear with nothing more than them being bears connecting them, as they physically are clearly not the same species. There is a fat flying rabbit/squirrel then somehow becomes a ferret. Seriously, WTF were they on? And of course if you get enough gold fish (Known ...

Disharmony of the Spheres

My story 'Time of the Bursting' has been published in the anthology 'Disharmony of the Spheres: http://nomadicdeliriumpress.com/blog/product/disharmony-of-the-spheres/ It is an anthology of stories that focus on mental illness. This is the most meaningful anthology I have been in. Half the profits from this book will go to the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Organization, a group that battles teen suicide. The following is from the product description. "Mental illness is very common in our society, but it’s also very misunderstood. Many view those with mental illnesses as being weak, but there is a great deal of strength in those that must battle their own minds on a regular basis. Disharmony of the Spheres focuses on characters with mental illnesses that are still able to be successful. They may not completely overcome their illnesses, but they are able to beat them back and succeed."

And His Time Is About To Come To An End

Twenty-Seven hours until the beginning of the end of the 11th Doctor. Since BBC America started airing Doctor Who we have been getting the new episodes the same night as they air on BBC One back in the UK, instead of waiting months for them.  That means that we get the Christmas Specials on Christmas Day, making it so Christmas Day ends with a nice little gift. This year's the episode is 'The Time of The Doctor' and will be the end for the 11th Doctor. Supposedly we will also get answers to just about all the big questions still out there from the last few years. We'll see how that goes. We will also be introduced to the 12th Doctor, although most likely this will not give us much of an idea of the character.  We'll have to wait till fall next year for the new season to start up to see just what the new Doctor is like. It is going to be a long wait.
