It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well.

A procedural detective series following a forensic investigation unit tasked with determining how certain crimes could have resulted from strange attractors, instead of being intentional, accidental, or purely random.
just this

Prelate Diogenes Shandor

A society where time-travel through wormholes is common. Major crime is virtually nonexistent, and when it does happen it usually either occurs under mysterious circumstances (like Clue style, where they don't even know where or how it happened) and goes unsolved forever or involves a fatal standoff with the police. This is due to Novikov's self-consistency principle. Crimes don't go unsolved because the police can go back ro the time and place of the crime and stop it. and crimes where the criminal gets caught are generally self-canceling because the criminal would go back and warn themself that it's not going to go right. Therefore most crime can't happen at all. However this is predicated on the police force being big enough that they COULD deal with lots of crime if it DID happen.

 :?The last 'religion' in all possible worlds always invokes something like Godel's Incompleteness Theorem.

Prelate Diogenes Shandor

I recently saw a video about how a lot of movies have romantic subplots that don;t really fit the personalities of the characters involved, so it occured to me: What if they were pursuing the relationship because they were possessed? Not that the SO is a demon like in that one South Park episode. They're possessed by a demon that is interested in the nominal love interest and pursuing a romantic relationship in their name.

It starts with a chance encounter with some mysterious object (an idol or a book or something) by one of the protagonists. The encounter is so subtle that the audience should not even notice it initially. In the meantime, some stereotypical action plot breaks out and the lead opposite gender is introduced. They immediately fall for each other despite having nothig in common and the first character having to break character to pursue the romance. Unexpectedly the action plot is wrapped up about 20-30 minutes early. This gives us time to see the aftermath. The first character's friends become concerned about this relationship. The character themself starts becoming concerned as well; beginning to experience fugues and blackouts. Investigation leads them back to the cursed object from the beginning of the film. Eventually the true climax of the movie is reached when an exorcism has to be performed.

Kavanaugh gave me a couple of ideas for  TV shows

Lush Judge- A comedy about a habitually drunk judge who presides over court when inebriated

Drunk Court- A reality show similar to Judge Jody or Judge Wopner, or Judge Mills-Lane but with the gimmick that the judge, the plaintiff, and the defendent are drunk during the entire arbitration proceeding

HUGE PENIS- a show where judges pretend to be unamazed about even the most massive girth, causing men who watch it to grow self-conscious about their own size and buy more penis enlargement pills, from our sponsors.

A combination of the Last Supper and one of those kids' haunted house activities where the lights are turned off and various everyday foodstuffs are passed off as body parts. Something like:

and extinguishing the lights he took the peeled grapes and bade his disciples feel them, saying 'these are my eyes, take these all of you and eat them'...

I like that one.  It reminds me of this:  http://www.thesecretknots.com/comic/erwin-and-the-method-demons/


Here's the alt-text from that comic:

Quote from: The Secret Knots"Possession's role in infernal society isn't totally clear, some see it as a form of exploration of the human world through their eyes, some pose it as a kind of non consensual cultural exchange while others, specially after Erwin's teachings, simply consider it an art form, essential to devilish nature and culture, and much like art, not necessarily bound to a practical function. What it is NOT, though, is a coercive method to make humans do evil, as demons aren't actually interested or even well versed in human morality. Some of these subjects of possession just happen to be terrible people, and method demons only play along with human resourceful capacity of self-destruction.

A vulgar parody of vampire romance novels wherein a young woman becomes infatuated with a vampire solely because he's willing to perform cunnilingus on her even (especially) when she's on her period.

Rococo Modem Basilisk

Vampires don't need to drink blood to live, per-se, but the blood meal provides them with a short period of telepathy during which they can see themselves as their victim sees them -- important for someone who can't use mirrors or cameras. Because vampire attacks are traumatic, this usually sends them deeper into self-loathing. Often, codependent vampire couples pop up -- drinking in idolized fantasy versions of themselves. Vampires with large social safety nets (usually mostly composed of humans, because vampires -- being born, not made -- tend to be pretty screwed up from an extended childhood where they can't see themselves & can't leave the house during daylight) can avoid drinking blood entirely because their trusted friends provide them with a sense of identity, but once those friends start dying off they start attacking out of desperation. In this world where vampires can only die by suicide, few last more than a few centuries. So, our protagonist begins a talk-therapy and group-therapy service for vampires.
