Solid Block of Ise

There’s a few constants in this universe. Generally accepted is that the speed of light is pretty much constant. At least with our knowledge of physics and technology. I’m just saying that in case someone is reading this a thousand years into the future and laughing their ass off. I’m a caveman, travel back in time and we’ll settle this the old-fashioned way, alright?

There are a few other constants, unbendable truths that might seem trivial but who are just as unbendable as the speed of light. For example, the colder the weather the slower time passes. Especially when you’re waiting for a bus. Then time crawls along and seconds turn into hours.

Another one is the one that always happens to me. It never fails. Whenever I cut my fingernails short, within a maximum timespan of two hours afterwards there will be some reason for me to regret cutting them short. Usually this is evidenced when I need to open something. Today it was a small jar that needed prying. Without proper nails it was a bit difficult. Previous items have included a swiss army knife, a safety latch and a pant-button.
