Okay, busted.
You are going into solitary confinement for one year.
Just you, a simple cot, and 4 white walls, a white ceiling, and a white floor.
Oh, and one of the following items.
Which do you choose to help you pass the time?
The Bible
A very nice 55-gallon aquarium
A Rubik's Cube
A deck of cards
A nice box of Lego
Solitary Confinement Poll: What do you take into the white room with you?

Lego's win pretty easily.
I'm going Lego, though a deck of cards could prove entertaining.

The Bible, and I can think of 695 reasons without even getting into my faith (or the preface, or the tables and additional info at the end).
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

Gotta go with the book. There's some pretty fun stories in there.

The cards. I love solitaire games. One can build houses of cards with them. One can practice throwing them at the pillow or mattress from the bunk with the eventual goal of using them to murder a guard or another inmate. Since it wasn't specified it couldn't be such a deck, a deck of nekkid woman cards would have obvious uses.
I kinda thought the aquarium would be of some interest.

A Deck of cards, so many games to play.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Deck of cards was tempting, but I gotta go with something to read.
Bible. Lots of things to ponder. Maybe, after a year, I could figure out where Cain got his wife.
She wasn't some hot Russian PhD looking for a fresh start?

She wasn't a 'wife', so much as a 'blow-up doll from the Erotic Eden mail order catalog'. Either that or a Nephilim. When in doubt, blame Old Testament weirdness on the Nephilim.
True. Another thing I would like to figure out in the year is how the Nephilim could all perish in the Flood, then still be around to scare the Israelites in Moses's time.She wasn't a 'wife', so much as a 'blow-up doll from the Erotic Eden mail order catalog'.

Zombie Nephilim. Sent back from Sheol just to fuck with the Israelites. Because fucking with the Israelites is the God of Abraham's very favorite pastime.

The Bible would be good to have, and it would be a great chance to finally read the thing from cover to cover, but I went with Legos. I love me some Legos. The day our sons finally tire of Legos is going to be a sad one in the House of Elendil.
Is my kid the only boy in the world who never had the tinies interest in Lego?
It seems likely.Is my kid the only boy in the world who never had the tiniest interest in Lego?
I prefer to think that he is one with Bakunin: "The urge to destroy is also a creative urge."
Certainly his desire to break things always exceeded his desire to build things.
Lego is cool. Can't quite get my kid excited about the stuff.

I think the Lego love gene is on the Y chromosome.
It would seem so.

Gotta go with The Bible. It's been quite a long time since I've read it and as long as I'm stuck somewhere I might as well have something to read.
I'll go with the Bible. Genesis alone is like a massive soap opera.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
