Can you turn a box inside out ?
If you can , would you put items outside the box to fill it?
Can a box be turned inside out?
What constitutes a box anywhoo?
Why not a hat?
Think outside the hat.
Throw your hat over the fence.
And what gives with the lightbulb?
Did a candle go off in our heads when we got an idea before we had electricity?
Whos the guy that came up with "This is your brain on drugs."
This guy had it going on. Like really dude, "two eggs with a side of bacon" Ya ,like he didn't inhale.:eyeroll:
I'm done.
later
The box is a metaphor for your head. People really like communicating with you if you're out of mind. That's how this came to be in some alternate universe (in a alternate universe where there are alternate universes.)
It's not a hat because 'cap' (which means the same thing) fits better.
Cap? Oh.
Yes. It fits better because 'capo' means head. Lost? Try thinking outside the box... I mean head... well, you get the gist.
As for throwing your noggin over the fence... they did that... in the Middle Ages... If you had the plague. Oh, and note that your head was attached to your body, the fence was castle wall and they threw you with a catapult/ trebuchet.
This is also why we can have thinking boxes and thinking hats (in kindergarten, and they were usually imagined) without violating the laws of nature.
The lightbulb is used because early light bulbs burnt out really quickly, just like most (at first) seemingly great ideas.
The saying just caught on and stuck. Speaking of stuck, the saying stuck fast doesn't actually use fast as in fasten. The fast comes from an observation of Einstein's that if two people are superglued to each other and to the top a moving train, they experience normal time in relation to each other but warped (if only slightly and temporarily) time to the tunnel entrance approaching ahead. Or something like that. Anyways, we still have the saying.
Now, any idea can probably work to some extent if executed correctly. This interpretation can be brought to LEDs. For instance, you have to wire it corre - "Hey! What are you sticking into the wall outlet?"
The guy who came up with "this is your brain on drugs" was a professional douchebag paid in questionable items...
Such as YouTube views.
Oh right, all this was told to me by the unicorns that came in a while earlier.
YMMV
