Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
I dreamt I was Jesus last night. Turns out that God gave the original Jesus too much of his power, his body couldn't handle it and that's why God engineered his death at the age of 30. In order to make sure I was around for a while, he didn't give me as much power. Whilst I could manipulate stuff like stopping the rain (as that only requires mucking about with water vapour), or healing disease (microscopic orgasms), I couldn't make the world hotter (involves moving the Earth closer to the Sun) or make people immortal.

While I'm the first to admit that I'm shallow, vain and arrogant I have to admit to being blow away by the sheer scale of my own egotism and hubris after that dream.

When did you last truly shock yourself, be it good or bad?
