Learning takes away mystery.

Which sort of squelches curiosity, as well. I don't have much of a very formulated thought on the concept at the moment but I am wondering if I've run this one through my mind before... or, if so, why I can't seem to recall doing so. Strangely,(and somewhat coincidentally) I learned today about a comic book super hero that was invented with a nearly identical power to one that I invented about 12-13 years ago. It was a guy who is totally forgotten once he is no longer within direct line of sight. It is strange to be hearing about this character who so closely resembles the one I invented so long ago... it is the first time I have had such a distinct feeling that my idea was directly ripped off... even though I know that is basically impossible since the very few people I described my character to are very unlikely to be connected to the person who created this character for real. Still... it's a strange feeling to have. Fun and strange!
