A blonde, a brunette and a redhead are stuck on an island. One day, the three of them are walking along the beach and discover a magic lamp. They rub and rub, and sure enough, out pops a genie. The genie says, "Since I can only grant three wishes, you may each have one." The brunette says, "I've been stuck here for years. I miss my family, my husband, and my life. I just want to go home." POOF! The brunette gets her wish and she is returned to her family. Then, the red head says, "I've been stuck here for years as well. I miss my family, my husband, and my life. I wish I could go home too." POOF! The redhead gets her wish and she is returned to her family. The blonde starts crying uncontrollably. The genie asks, "My dear, what's the matter?" The blonde whimpers, "I wish my friends were still here."

A line of 100 ugly people are in line, waiting for a genie who only grants 1 wish.

The first person comes up to the genie and wishes to be beautiful. The wish is granted, and the first person leaves.

The second person comes up, same wish, same deal. No problem.

By the time of the twentieth person to meet up with the genie, the last guy in line begins giggling to himself. Those in front of him pay him no attention.

Half the line has gotten past the genie, and the guy begins laughing. Those in front of him are peeved, but don't really care that much.

As the guy nears the genie, he begins wheezing and rolling on the floor. Annoyed but determined to make their wish, the last few people ahead of him step right up to the genie. "I wish to be beautiful."

When the last guy steps up, he is rolling on the ground. The genie asks him what he's laughing about, and he responds, "I wish they all became ugly again."

Is good joke. Everyone like. Good, long laugh.

There is a door on the Hephaestus. It is locked, and no one knows where they key is. It is only for emergencies. Only for when you are alone.

What constitutes “alone”? How do we know when we are alone? There is no one in this room. Eiffel and Minkowksi are both asleep. Hera is in the middle of debugging cycle. The closest waking mind is 8 light years away.

But... does that mean that I’m alone?

Why does no one want to be alone?

Why are we so afraid of being alone?
