Or the god or goddess of narcissism. Money doesn't take you into youth, intelligence, health or moral excellence. It takes you into a good looking car, wardrobe or house, or into a big fat banking account. That's about it. Face something else than a human, and money, suddenly, becomes worthless. Money is a tool to drive humans. It won't drive a savage beast or anything else. So it's basically not worth much outside the human psycho. “from god complex to PHD”

So what does that make you? “from PHD to god complex”

Albeit, that I did not want to reveal the nature of my statements, or why I have chosen this time and this format to reveal myself publicly. It is because while I was in the U.S Army and living aborad in many different countries, I was constantly asked to solve problems for other, sometime write programer code for the ARPA net project etcetra. As I became more adaptable to each surrounding, I realized this was not the world I was born on, and neither were you. We have forgotten Atlantis, and the older beginnings of this Civilization. And our many conquests as Intersteller Travellers, and Yes, even some of us have travelled through time, and to other dimensons.

But when I was young, the drive-in movies were extremely popular. For those of you who have never been to a drive-in movie, you pay your admission, and drive your car into a large parking lot that has a gigantic movie screen out in the open and watch the movie from within your car. Of course, if the weather turns nasty in the middle of the movie, as it was apt to do sometimes, the showing of the movie was interrupted, and you would be given a rain check that was good for admission on another occasion. I had always thought that to be the origin of the word. But according to Marina's lesson, the word came long before there were ever any drive-n movies. Live and learn! Thanks, Marina!

But it was a bit of a brain teaser as you can see from the comments. It was a quote from someone named Cobb. Sorry. I don’t remember what the quote was now.
