Out of The PIT

I am sure others have thought of this, but consider the four classical elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. I do think that the ancients had an idea of what was going on, and in a way to classify all of matter, they did it in a way that they could grasp and convey the information using the language and technology of the time. I consider the classical elements more of a representation of all states of matter, which they did a good job of. Earth = Solid, Water = Liquid, Air = Gas, Fire = Plasma. (Although some might consider Aether = Plasma.) It would take until the modern era before they could truly explain the behaviour of matter with chemistry.

So yes, I got MJNL a new car for her 30th birthday. I had purchased the car along with MIBAgentQ a month ago, and we had to keep it secret since then. On top of that, we had to organize the date of the reveal, order cake, get bows, pick up the cars, hope that the weather would cooperate (we had a 30cm dump the day before which was much too close for comfort), and keep it on the down low. Apparently both twins were completely surprised and had no idea. Apparently they have no idea how to top these gifts, but considering how empty my wallet is now, I say that saving up for a house might be a good thing for the next little while..
