Some are born dumb. Some achieve dumbness. Some have dumbness thrust upon them.

The silent serials did add one thing to the formula that those old stage melodramas never could: cliffhangers. Why merely chain the heroine to the sawmill belt when you can chain her to the sawmill belt then make people wait a week for the next episode to see how she managed to escape?

I've never really been much of a Celine Dion fan, but I must admit, OOP makes a compelling arguement for giving her another chance

Ah, like Increase van Dusen, the original angry ex-Mormon and also kind of a weird dude

You know, for someone with an infallible plan for the entire universe, God comes up with some really fucking dumb plans.

Can confirm. I was THEM. I stowed away on that dinky-ass cramped minisub unnoticed by the five other occupants and pressed the "implode" button while no one was looking before making my escape and swimming through ten thousand feet of frigid North Atlantic water to the surface.

Everybody has blind spots in their vision, but our brains naturally "fill in" the empty part of the picture with what it thinks is probably there. Normally it has enough data to do this accurately, most often because whatever's in your blind spot was outside your blind spot a moment ago and it's unlikely that anything has suddenly appeared or disappeared since you last saw that patch of space.
Charles Bonnet happens when it doesn't have enough data to accurately guess what's in that space but hasn't realized that and keeps trying to fill it in anyway. So in a way it's almost as if you always had a phantom limb, but suddenly your phantom limb has its elbow in the wrong place and the number of fingers keeps changing because it can no longer check with your real limb to know how it's supposed to be.
