10. It's a talent.

I wrote a sci-fi short story for a creative writing class: "Slugg City." In it, the city's evil overlords got rid of industrial and nuclear waste by making it a tasty and addictive ingredient in Barkobars, which made one thirst for Sluggweiser ("Drink Sluggweiser and be wiser" as the Slugg's eyestalks beat time and pointed out each syllable over the subtitles across the bottom of the screen).

I, mistakenly, had hoped putting such an idea down on paper would prevent it being used in real life. So much for the Quantum Wave Function...

So that's why they refuse to disclose what's in it. LiberalEsto Sep 2013 #1
