I tried once or twice to see whether the shower could be used for enlightenment without actually taking a shower... But that just wound up looking a lot like this:
There was equally as much going on in my head as there is in this picture. Absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, the warm water seems to be rather key.
The fun thing about sleep purgatory is that you can find you way there even if you're only taking a nap. You got yourself a bed, a pillow, a couch, or a combo of any of those and you're on your way to solving world hunger! There's only one thing that can stop you. If you have too much on your mind, you'll never reach that sweet pre-doze calm. Now that's a real predicament. Because now you're thinking too much about relaxing, you're stressing about unstressing... Now you can't sleep and you'll never figure out why your foot always makes that squeaking sound whenever you curl your toes. No? No one else has that problem? Alright, well you still get what I mean.
Now imagine if we could combine them. First, I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind to try to put a shower in my car. My brother had a chest of drawers in his van for a year, and hey why not? But the shower... Well the commuter student life has already left my car looking like this, and I don't really need it moist:
However, if we could achieve partial slumber in the shower, we might have cold fusion powering the globe in days or even minutes! The only problem is the possible drowner or two, but everything comes with a price.
There's a joke about wet dreams in there... but let's not be piggish. We are, after all, on a quest for wisdom.
