The Universes Hilarious Sense of Timing (and Lost Limbs)
Seriously? Ten months? Fourteen miles? Is the ocean just messing with us now? Apparently, a swimmer’s prosthetic leg spent nearly a year doing an impromptu aquatic tour before deciding to grace a beach with its presence. A decade ago, this would have been a mildly interesting local news blurb. Now? Its become prime fodder for our collective existential dread and the internets insatiable appetite for bizarre happenings.
You know, because we didn’t have enough to worry about. Wars, inflation, climate change…and now we’re captivated by a rogue limb journeying across the coastline like some sort of plastic-fantastic odyssey. I bet it saw things. It probably has stories. Tales of jellyfish encounters, seaweed kingdoms, and maybe even a brief stint as a pirate ships mast.
And what profound lesson are we supposed to glean from this? That perseverance is admirable? That the universe works in mysterious ways? Please. The lesson is that sometimes, things just float. Sometimes, they float for an unreasonably long time and travel an unreasonable distance before finally bumping into something solid. Its a cosmic joke, really. A slapstick routine performed by Poseidon with a single, detached prosthetic leg. Just… wonderful.
