I am a Strange Loop -
Can thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, `I` arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here?

quote [ The hitchhiker has been transformed in the public imagination from an unencumbered youth finding adventure across our vast nation to a crazed and dangerous maniac with a homicidal sneer. To pick one up is to meet a death of grotesque proportions?to hitch as a woman, an invitation to be brutally violated. ]
What kind of adventures have you had while thumbing a ride?

Never hitched, guess I missed that era. Closest experience I have is picking up the friend of a friend of a friend from the ATL airport on thanksgiving and driving her 3 hours to the town I was living in, only to find her friends had abandoned her for the holiday leaving her no place to stay. I offered her my bedroom and I'd crash on the couch. I ran some errands and, she made herself at home and took a shower.
She apparently walked out of my bathroom with just a towel around her waist and came face-to-face with my roommate - a nice but sheltered guy who panicked and hid in his room and wouldn't come out.
