Have fun with it, Brent, but don't go all literal on us. (Remember how well that tends to work for Christians.)
It is true that our experience of reality is mediated by consciousness. A natural explanation of perception is that it is the means by which reality (whatever is there when no one is checking) perturbs our fields of consciousness. It is one thing to note where a super-natural explanation of our consciousness-to-reality hook up could fit. Heck, go ahead and write the next spinoff of the Matrix while you're at it. But don't drink the koolade. That almost never works out well.
I read somewhere that because of all the baby making hardware you pack, that women have only a third the urine carrying capacity as men. Of course once our prostates start growing you can still wind up winning that contest. Personally, I'd socialize menstration costs before anything else. It makes no sense that the half of the population that is the most inconvenienced by the whole baby making enterprise should ever be out of pocket for it. Instead of sending a drink to a lady at a bar we should send a tampax, just to let her know we care.

No need to go all on the rag about it. There is no call for any hysteria. Heck, you may get a little wistful about it when it ends.
