* Have you ever stopped whatever you were doing and actually thought about yourself? You think your thoughts, feelings and emotions have been stable throughout your life time but most of them are the result of maturity, knowledge, or teachings applied by your caregivers. How would you fare doing if you were to go back in time and try to live with your past thoughts during that period? Imagine the mind of a 50 year old being transported in the mind of his 4 year old self before such developmental concepts such as conservation of objects, understanding of others' thoughts, and logical reasoning begin to form? It would be like a spending a nightmare with your own self.

* 'Why did the chicken cross the road (to get to the other side)' is generally accepted as the most famous example of [[Anti-Humor]]. However, some people realize that 'to get to the other side' can have two meanings, and so they believe the joke is [[Driven to Suicide|implying something else entirely]] in order to be funny. Of course, the reality is that it just doesn't have a punchline, but it's still good for a [[Mind Screw]] to those who look a little too much into it.
