As I was falling asleep last night I considered what it would be like to one day be me, and the next be an orange brick mass.
What's good? Brick turned out to be the best material in the fairytale of the Three Little Pigs; it was strong, durable, and wind resistant.
What's bad? There is the obvious issue of being the only person made of brick. It'd be understandable to feel kind of awkward. More importantly, there goes your sex life! Who wants to cuddle with a brick wall? Or a cinder block?
The Fantastic Four make a great team, but The Thing is isolated; none of the other heroes experienced a permanent cosmetic transformation. I wonder if the author intentionally isolated The Thing. In addition to being the only brick hero, he's also the only Jew, correct?
However, a Jew without the ability to procreate is contradictory; the Torah stresses the importance of having babies. It says, "Be fruitful and multiply."
What I'm saying is, The Thing needs a wife (Judaism states that sex occurs only after marriage). Perhaps we ought to expose more people to cosmic rays. If all else fails, we could always make a golem...
There's one here under the 'brass golem' heading... To be honest, I don't quite understand what it's all about.
Another website suggested wearing white robes, and sculpting using purified water, pure clay, pure intention...
I find the whole thing kind of odd. Besides the concept of creating a conscious entity without using... erm... conventional methods, we're not even doing it the Frankenstein way. At least the guy who made Frankenstein used something tangible-ish (electricity) to activate his "person." But just hoping it will work... God probably does not have "make golems work" at the top of his priority list. Who makes a golem based on an electronic recipe, anyway? Nothing earthier than a good golem... It seems more realistic to use historical methods. I wonder if the Pagan faith has any recipes?
