The plane offered "Schweppes", and was reminded of the story of the 1990-ies. Next to our house in Kozikhinskiy lane housed the publishing house "Myth", the main source of income which had a multi-volume edition of Carlos Castaneda, hundreds of copies. While in commercial operations involved not only money, but all kinds of goods. So, in the middle of a severe winter in the warehouses of the publishing house was a car with "Schweppes".
The thing was new, tasteless, out of season and very bitter due to the quinine contained therein. But if promoting the American shamanism and vegetable matter, then miracles are inevitable. The impossibility of this drink anywhere to attach, he began to drink from morning till night: do not throw away.
In the same year in Moscow has suffered greatly from a terrible flu, half the population of Moscow, riding in the heat. But of the eight employees of publishing houses, including the incoming editor-Victor Pelevin, one with the flu and could not get sick, although many would like to lie at home and not commute to work during severe frost.

The scope of knowledge can be depressing, the man knows everything and is drowning in this knowledge, unable to do anything, there is a disturbance in the mechanism of the "said - done".
