I think it was 1998 when The Stranger, Action, and I dressed up as the Sabotage Beasties for Halloween. I am pretty sure no photographic evidence survives, but I was wearing a terrible comb-over wig and fake moustache and the worst cop clothes we could find. We even constructed shoulder holsters. I was absolutely unrecognizable. Incidentally we saw Intergalactic Beasties that night too.

Zoning Out Is a Crucial Mental State

tetw:

by Carl Zimmer

Somehow we have evolved a way to switch between handling the here and now and contemplating long-term objectives. It may be no coincidence that most of the thoughts that people have during mind wandering have to do with the future.
