Transcript:
the outer reaches of plot twists man 1: hey, man. come on in. man 2: sorry i'm late. narrator: consider, if you will, a young man who is about to come face-to-face with not one, but a few severely ironic plot twists! man 1: no big deal. it's been delayed because of obama's speech. you want a beer? man 2: whoa! what's that thing? man 1: oh. my brain in a beaker. man 2: huh? oop: it's a disembodied brain, stimulated by a computer to believe it's a functioning person, but it's in a virtual reality. man 2: so it thinks it's a real person? man 1: look. right now it thinks it's on a picnic. and so husband: honey, look at this article. it says that an alarmig number of people are actually brains in beakers. wife: how odd. i wonder if our brain in a beaker could ever find out it's in a fake reality. how would it ever know? husband: well, reality is impssible to fully duplicate. the programming would always have some flaw -- you could spot some resulting anomaly in your reality. oop: like what? husband: like, say, the current president's middle and last names are a letter away from the names of america's two most-hated villains of the past decade... brain: or, perhaps, an absolutely bizarre comic strip that takes you to... the outer reaches of plot twists! the end

Didn’t I see this story 30 years ago, but the clue was the election of a B-movie actor as President?

ROFLMFAO @ sammysock. Reagan never won an Academy Award! That’s hilarious. It’s almost as hilarious as your second claim about him.

sammysock’s brain isn’t in a beaker, it’s sitting front row down at the Bijou, watching old movies. Same as Reagan’s brain was.

sammysock, George Clooney has an Oscar. Sean Penn has TWO Oscars. Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, MICHAEL MOORE. How would you feel about any of THEM being President?
Heck, Meryl Streep has THREE Oscars, and has been nominated SEVENTEEN TIMES!
Meryl Streep for President, in 2016! (After Obama’s 2nd term.)

sammysock. Reagan not revered but remembered as being responsible for the large number of homeless mental patients here in CA due to his stint as governor. Guy was truely teflon.
