  • I’m going to try to explain the origins from memory so someone who knows more will probably explain better.

    It comes from an book or a movie, where a husband is planning something nefarious (don’t remember if it’s a murder or something) and he uses the attic of his house to do it. This is set back in the days when they used gas for lighting things and when he turns on the lighting in the attic, it causes the lights to change (probably get dimmer) in the rest of the house. His wife notices this and brings it up to him, since he obviously doesn’t want to reveal that he is the one causing it, he constantly convinces his wife that it’s all in her head and that she might be losing her mind.









  • For me everything is based on how they get there and how they conduct themselves.

    I have been an immigrant to several countries and I still am, but

    I had all of the proper paperwork,

    I didn’t sneak across any borders illegally,

    I didn’t overstay my visas,

    I didn’t pay some guy on a boat to bring me there,

    I didn’t commit any crimes that are worse than jaywalking,

    I didn’t get clumped together with other people from my country and try to impose my values on the citizens of the country I was in,

    I didn’t do any under the table work,

    I paid all of my taxes.

    These are the thing that I expect from others as well.
