In a far away Universe, there is a worm with three heads. But that Universe only have two dimensions so one of the head can never be seen. The two heads gossiped to each other and made fun of the third head. Then came the big bang, the Universe gained an additional dimension and the third head showed itself in front of the other two heads.

What is the point of this story?

Maybe it's a metaphor. Maybe it's saying we shouldn't talk about people behind there backs, and that if we do one day they will explode into a big pie and be better than us.

I don't want to turn into a giant pie then I'd get eaten by turtles

I think the moral of the story is: if you have three heads (some people do), make sure two of your heads don't gossip about the third one, else you will get an headache worst than a big bang.

[nowhere man]

perhaps the meaning behind this story is that we should not use worms as fish bait, beacaue there is always another worm who will show himself , and that worm will kill you.

I belive that the point to the story was to make us ponder the worm/pie/turtle/whatever therory a bit longer. tub what do I know?

That's true. The more you ponder on the truth, the more truer your thought sounds. It's like when you tell yourself you are pretty, you will eventually become kind of pretty (for yourself anyway).

[Pimienta]

hwat if some one tells you you're pretty everyday but you tell yourself you are ugly every day?

Then you cancel the statements out and noone has any opinions about you. You just sort of fade away.

[Pimienta]

fading away sounds like a horrible fate
but I still won't believe them

[hamster]

won't believe them that you are pretty or that you are ugly?

I think ugly is what a person does, not necessarily their complexion.

[Pimienta]

that I'm pretty

[hamster]

a lot of people feel that way about themselves. Chances are, it's not true.

[Pimienta]

well If I cannot convince anyone
then I will simply have to submit to their insistance that I'm pretty or fade out of existence

[hamster]

Don't fade! Fading is only good for jeans and sunburned skin. I counsel submission, at least in this case. If they all think you're priddy, you probably are.
