10 Things I Learned About the Universe by Watching Sci-Fi Shows
1. There are many alternate realities. In any reality other than our own, people will look exactly the same as they do now, except for their hair. Women with short hair will grow it long, and men with short hair will gel it.
2. Time travel is an inevitable step in scientific discovery. But people will only travel back in time, to the 20th century, and almost never forward.
3. Despite the fact that in the past 500 years, the English language has changed so much that it's almost unrecognizable, its finally reached its evolutionary peak and will not evolve any further. In the distant future, everyone on Earth will speak the exact same English that was spoken at the start of the 21st century.
4. Our current physics state that since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space, and explosions in space don't make a sound. Sometime in the future, the physics of the universe will change, so that sound waves carry and explosions go boom. They're much cooler that way.
5. Homosexuality will not exist in the future. Don't know why, because no one even talks about it. It's just not there (except in hot lesbian make-out scenes).
6. No one tinkles in the future. The need for washrooms has been eliminated.
7. Anyone who's interested in history is interested in the 20th century. No one has hobbies from any other era. Sorry folks, but when we said good-bye to 1999, we said good-bye to anything of interest.
8. The mysterious L-shaped sheets are still rampant. When men and women are in bed together, the sheets go up to his waist, but her shoulders.
9. Alien sexuality tends to be expressed in many of the same ways as human sexuality. Sure seems to help with human-alien relations...
10. Bad guys (and gals) always seem to wear black leather. This is doubly true if the individual is really just an evil incarnation of an otherwise innocent person. Straps, buckles and boots are popular accessories for evil dopplegangers.
