What is the Orb of Confusion?

 
 

You may wonder why I chose Orb of Confusion. Well, it started when I decided to register my own domain name. I quickly came to the realization that it is difficult to find a good name, which has not already been taken. The only hope is to come up with an obscure, but easily remembered name.

One day, while watching Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick and Spongebob were disabled by a small device, which caused all around it to be confused. This device was the called the "orb of confusion". The more I thought about it, I realized that we all live on an orb of confusion - Earth.

Society conspires to keep us off balance. Order a small soft drink from McDonald's and you get a bucket of sugar water large enough to put out the Great Chicago Fire.

For those eternally confused, society actually helps keep them there. Take the Massachusetts Voter Registration form as an example. If you don't know your address, this form allows you to place an 'X' in a box to show what part of town you live in. Do we really want these people voting - and in the jury pool?
