WTF Happened?

Would somebody care to explain to me how it came for me to daydream about this:
Ferrari 599 GTO
To actually shop around for something like this:

Chevrolet Suburban
And no, it has nothing to do with the money. And no, it has nothing to do with parenthood, two of the three sports cars I have owned were as a father (PJ was born while I was the owner of Miata #2), and the main reason for getting rid of my Miata was when my then new job dropped my weekly driving average from 300+ miles per week to less than 50 per month.

We are talking daydreaming here, why would I just stop fantasizing about fast and dangerous cars and instead start shopping for a bigger SUV?

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
