When my Kindergarten teacher told me I was wrong, there weren't such things as blue grapes while I actually had blue grapes growing in my yard...I learned that there are commonly held and taught beliefs and "facts" that may serve institutions, but not truth and reality.

[Shephard]

Naps are good for you. We must get our nap in.
