The process of discovery.

I like to think about singers and their process of songwriting, especially people like Tom Jones, I wish I could see him scraping together the blueprints of some deep life-changing song like "Whats New Pussycat?" I especially like to imagine the look on the first person's face that he pitched that song to.
What about the first person who came up with the idea of eating a lobster? Imagine this weird looking insect like thing with a shell and pinchers snapping at you, makes your mouth water doesn't it?
I also like to imagine the first shopping-mall Santa claus to get a bloody nose while on the job. How traumatizing that must have been for all the little kids watching to see that snow-white beard soaked with nose-blood. Or what if he sneezed while he had one? Wow.... Just picture that image on a christmas card.
