Throughout time mankind has pondered many things about not just his immediate surroundings but the Universe itself. These questions have followed us through worldwide floods, worldwide fires, ice ages and ages of searing heat. During these times we evolved, matured and banded together into close knit groups. After millenia these groups turned into communities, then massive cities. Wars waged, religions and empires rose and fell. But throughout we evolved, changed and became what we now call civilized.
And the questions still remained.
In the 20th century we saw the most massive destruction of life and worlds that have ever been witnessed. Countless millions died as tyrants rose to power, only to be dispensed by our interior camaraderie. And our will to live.
With this we reached into space itself, landing on the moon, building space stations and visiting that dark expanse regularly. Wonders were witnessed and the proofs of immense awe discovered. We even dared question our God, often proclaiming we were even more.
But still the questions of the meaning of life, what does it all mean were not answered, only magnified.
Still, there was the one question that surpassed all of those child-like wonders...
Today we stand upon the precipice of economic and moral ruin. Wars rage over the planet and poverty has taken the scepter of monarch over the Earth.
With all the wonder we have witnessed - and the horrors - we still cannot answer the question of the ages: The Eternal Question, if you will.
And that is: WHAT THE HELL IS "TAUPE"?

Things to Try, Part I
1) When you stay in a hotel that serves a Continental Breakfast, go down in the morning, walk in with adult diapers on and order the Incontinental Breakfast.
2) Try a reverse carjacking. Walk up to someone on the street and pull a gun on them and demand that they take your car. Oh, and give the your ATM card and PIN.
3) Join the debate team in college. When you go to your first debate, dress immaculately and, when your opponent ends his argument, stand up and say, "Oh, Yeah?!", then just sit down.
4) Make a list of 10 people who you have never seen, never met and whose names you don't know.
5) Try a reverse shoplifting by smuggling things INTO a store.
6) Take your car into a body shop and tell them to total it.
7) Take your car into a repair shop and demand that there is nothing wrong with and that they do nothing to it or you'll call the Better Business Bureau.
8) Order a magazine subscription. When you see the postman about to deliver it, go meet him, take the magazine, roll it up, and whip yourself in the face with it. Then just hand it back to him.
9) Late at night pull a gun on some unsuspecting person and tell them you want absolutely nothing from them.
10) Go to a fine restaurant and order a great expensive meal. When asked if you want dessert, ask if they have any urinal cakes.
