Did you know …
That leaves are figments of your imagination? It’s true!
As near as science can tell, trees go through their entire lifespan without producing a single leaf. But when we look at them our brains automatically add leaves to the branches. And then, like, in the fall when there should be a bunch of dead leaves all over the place, our brains add leaves there, too. So when you pick up a crisp, bright fall leaf, you’re probably actually picking up a dried out frog, or a slice of dog shit or something.
It all seems so real, doesn’t it? But if you’ve ever watched The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves, you’ll understand.
Are there any real leaves? Are leaves a real thing? It’s impossible to say. If we were to ever see a real leaf, our brains would probably superimpose an imaginary leaf right over it.
