But I did forget about the post you so fondly mock me with. 


So, the reason I asked about that is because there's a strange theory floating around that we've experienced a time shift, it's not my theory and I don't believe it, well I don't fully believe it. 

The theory started with this;

How do you spell Berenstein in Berenstain Bears?

I remember it with the 'a'. Many people swear it's been changed from the 'e' to the 'a'. 

People are also claiming spelling has changed with Reba's last name. Spell it without looking it up. I remember it the correct way but many people claim it was spelled differently. 

Also, quote the most famous line from Darth Vader. People are saying it's changed. 

The reason why I even bring this up is because I distinctly remember the title of the Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise movie as Interview With A Vampire. But it's actually Interview With The Vampire. Which made me think maybe,just maybe these people might not be that crazy. Some quantum theories suggest we live in a simulation. And that is where the time shift theory originates. 

Remember, I don't really believe this theory. It's interesting nonetheless. 

So which do you duoche canoes remember?

My mom always used to call me my uncle's name. Then my brother's name. It's not a time shift, it's dementia.

Seriously, most of the stuff is just how our brain digests and compartmentalizes information. You've probably seen Interview With The Vampire a couple times, but you've probably seen "interview with a _______" in news stories, excerpts, etc. hundreds of times. You've probably heard people mistakenly call it "Interview With A Vampire" for years. Your brain, trying to manage all that information, changes out the "A" for the "The" to make the info more readily available. Dates back to the stone age when your ability to quick recall how to determine a poisonous snake meant the difference in life and death. Now we use those same skills to play 10 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
