Just for fun, I decided to do a News Post dedicated to topics that are mundane, but are secretly mind fucks when you look into it deeper.
For my first one just to give an example, here is the following.
Anyone familiar with the zodiac? For those who aren't, it's essentially a form of fortune telling based on a period between months in which your future is predicted based on which part of that period you happen to be born in. For example I'm an Aries, which means I was born between the near ends of March and April. However, my sign is not what I'm going to talk about.
There was one zodiac sign that always bugged me mainly because the the word for it could have multiple meanings if one simply just spoke it.
This one is called Cancer. This one is between June 21 and July 22.
Now you're probably wondering, why this one of all the zodiac signs is a total mind fuck.
To explain here goes. Many zodiac signs often have an animal or a person representing it. In the case of Aries I'm represented by a ram.
In the case of Cancer is the mother of all mind fucks.
Cancer is represented by a crab. Cancer and Crabs are known diseases as well. The latter being an STD. The name itself represents the Tropic of Cancer. Which is 23 degrees above the equator. Due to the equator and the Tropics, being closer to the Sun, each country that falls onto has an increased chance of melanoma. Also known as skin cancer. And to top off his mind fuck, the zodiac sign falls along the lines of the beginning of Summer. The hottest time on the planet.
Kind of makes you think doesn't it?
