No it isn't, it means "line perpendicular", as in "the normal to a surface" is "the line perpendicular to a surface".

Normal in the context of society and bull like that.
As in normal behavior.
Besides, remember I'm weird and run with a strange crowd, so yeah, normals.

First definition, 1: perpendicular ; especially : perpendicular to a tangent at a point of tangency.

Normal - Generally excepted opinion; that which is socially acceptable.
Or, what I generally don't do :)

“The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.”
Epic.

Plainly, you don't know us well enough.

Let me repeat portions of a conversation I took part in a few days ago:

Friend 1: Remember when [Friend 2] married everyone in Metallica and had 92 children?
Friend 2: That was nothing compared to when [Fuzzy] married the Cat in the Hat and their kittens ate her face off.
Fuzzy: Okay, I'm leaving this conversation before it gets too weird.
F1: Wait! I have a serious question. If mutants were real, would you persecute them?

And on Thursday another friend spent most of the lunch period trying to balance a book on my head. After reading portions out loud, of course.

My theory is that everyone is insane to some degree.

Well, that's not your theory. It's the truth. Everyone is insane to SOME degree, just that many people are insane to a VERY MINIMAL degree.

Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was sane.
Ugh.

Sentynel : Championing the cause of insanity, since 1990! I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.
