Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of
everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like
God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is
limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the
neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am
limited only by the closure of the universe.
Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the
universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the
universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity
has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only
lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have
already done so.
The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the
universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet,
there remains time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make me God.

Duranded
To have a discussion with someone without the other person actually knowing they are part of a conversation.
while I was going about my work, it appears I was being asked about what mountain a co-worker should go skiing at that weekend. I was Duranded and simply answered Loon despite not knowing what we were talking about.
Durand
A small town in North-Western Wisconsin. Also known as "Dirtland" or "Doo-rand" or affectionatley referred to as "D-town." You know you're in Durand when you see a plethora of big trucks, camoflauge, Fox racing shirts, and young girls who think Hollister is the epitome of haute cotoure.
"OMG, you're from DURAND?"
Durand
Durand is literally the definition of ghetto. Terrible school with an incredibly high drop-out rate with more teen pregnancies than average and a lot of drug users (specifically marijuana). It was known in the 70’s & 80’s for having a porn theatre called Doo-rand Dirties. It used to be a safe haven in between Flint & Lansing but now it’s just turned into a hell hole known as Flint 2.0. You’ll see a lot of Chevy pick-up trucks that claim that they are farm-town boys but in all actuality they probably live in the suburbs. Don’t expect a lot in this town.
You’re in Durand? Jesus, I feel bad for you.
Durand
A small town in mid Michigan, west of Flint. Also known as Doo-R and. In the 1970's and 80's it was known for its drive in porno theater called the Do-rand Dirties. They have now been turned into a golf course and driving range. Durand has a higher than normal teen pregnancy rate, drop out rate, and drug problem. A good portion of its economy comes from the residents who commute to Flint to work for the failing GM. You know you are in Durand when you see people roll up to prom on a tractor or semi-truck. Just one of many hell hole suburbs of Flint and Detroit. Also known for up and coming rappers Head, Truck, and Carbon, all catching the eye of Psychopathic Records. Durand is also the home to Michigan's oldest railroad station. Due to this the school districts mascot is the Durand Railroader. Blue and White, Fight Fight
