As I was sitting in my English Composition I class, attempting the first time to log into Blogger.com, a strange, cryptic message was scrawled on the board. “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously. What this weird combination of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs meant was still a mystery to my eyes. Had my instructor actually lost it? It was only the third week of classes. I haven’t been that annoying yet. Sure, I have driven some of my teachers in the past insane, but this is a new high score!
Or maybe, this encryption is a secret code of unknown origin and meaning. Perhaps I was not in my English Comp. I class but rather in a psychology class. The whiteboard in the front of the class was not actually a board, but a one-way window for another class to study my “class” in. They were trying to test the effects of a random word generator on a given test cross-section of campus students.
But what if it really did have meaning? Am I completely missing the point? Am I missing out on a hilarious joke the rest of the class is enjoying? Am I the one now going insane trying to decipher this strange sentence? Do I have to keep writing this entire paragraph in questions? Why do I keep adding question marks to the end of this paragraph?
I will not let them get into my head!
The simple explanation for this phrase is obviously “omega.” The expression is a complex rationalization of a top secret government priority target. They need my input as to the final code word of the launch sequence. Other agents in the room are sending in their pass-phrases as I type. Mother-bird! Mother-bird! Come in! This is WhiteBlaze! Execute order Charlie! Confirmation is Omega!
Suddenly I see my white robed enemies approach. I must end this transmission immediately. I only ask one thing. Quickly, find me and release me of this prison. They have others here too. They have done evil things to them. They’re all going insane. No! They’ve injected me with the serum again. I’m losing my consciousness. I must leave now. Long Live the King!
