Rontgen Thinking

***Also called as X-Ray Thinking (as X rays were discovered by W.C.Röntgen)***

"Röntgen Thinking" or "X-Ray Thinking", basically refers to thinking -- with the capacity to look into depths or hidden realities -- of an issue, event, or concept....or anything else for that matter, that can be thought about.

In simple words, people who think in a very shallow, lame or silly way, and think that they've understood things the superficial way, such as taking info off an untrusted or silly source, that too (generally) in little doses, when their ass is way too dumb to understand things for what they are.

Jim : Hey, you heard bout the Dubbly twins ?

Sam : No, what about them ?

Jim : Well, they're only 'identical' looks-wise! While Terence, who goes the Rontgen Thinking way, needs to take one look at any politician to understand what he really is, having known their history, backgrounds, past and everything else, all his twin brother Philip does is believe every political advertisement he sees and fart in approval! He's so lame, really.

roentgenizdat

Roentgenizdat is a portmanteau of the words 'roentgen' (as in roentgen rays; x-rays) and the Russian 'izdatel'stvo' meaning publisher. It is a variation of the better-known 'samizdat', or 'self-publication', referring to the underground publication of banned literature in the Soviet Union. As well as literature, much western music (including rock and jazz, etc.) was banned. Despite some records being smuggled through to the legions of jonesing music junkies, demand far exceeded supply. Vinyl was near-impossible to get, so even when records could miraculously cross the border, they could not be reproduced. However, soon enough someone brilliant realised that sound grooves could be inscribed in the acetate of old x-ray plates. Thus, the roentgenizdat, or x-ray press, was born. X-ray records (or 'rock on ribs' as they were often known, due to the bones which were visible when the discs were held up to the light) were of poor quality and seldom lasted for more than a few months, but they still contained the precious forbidden music, and as such were treasured by all who could get their hands on them.

The roentgenizdat was eventually discovered and banned in 1958.

rongen

People who overthink everything. Secretly always in your own mind wondering about things. And always are trying to be productive helping, creating or planing. Really social people that are true to themselfs. They have a strong personality.

No one has noticed, but i think shes a real Rongen. She is always busy with something.
