Afraid of plastic cubes?

I am terrified of plastic cubes. Every time I think about them I get extremely itchy and numb all over my body. Sometimes I wake up screaming because I dream about plastic cubes. Normal cubes are fine.

Is It Normal?

  • I guess asking you to try to solve a Rubik's Cube is out of the question?

    • I played Portal years ago and really enjoyed it.

      I got it for my twelve-year-old daughter a few months ago, and she went through a phase of being a little obsessed with it. She talked me into playing it with her a couple of times, but I couldn't cope with the humiliation of her being much faster on the mouse and much quicker to figure out the puzzles.

      • Listen Booj, she comes by your high intelligence honorably. Your job is to teach that girl about traction. How else will first world submarine engineering maintain its superiority?

    • A crucial component and sort-of character in a video game called Portal that came out more than a decade ago and rapidly gained something like cult status for a few people.

      Basically, the Weighted Companion Cube a cubic, metal box. If I recall correctly, it's the only object in the game you can directly manipulate, and you have to use it to solve a sequence of puzzles.

      • Thanks Boojum!

        I almost died laughing earlier in the evening when I saw a commercial for something on TV called Joel Osteen's Inspiration Cube. Apparently it's a cube shaped gadget that plays inspirational quotes by Joel Osteen.

        I almost never get video game references, because I haven't had any interest in video games since the days of the Atari 2600, and Pacman. Even then my interest was really quite fleeting.

        • In the game its essentially a pet rock. That you have to burn, to get through a door... for cake. Yet there was none to be had. Truely a sad game.
