Hmm...
How do you know it’s really 2008? And how do you know any of us are really are? Maybe we’re just floating out in space somewhere(well, this is the Flying Castle after all)
are really are= are really here*
How do you know it’s really 2008?
I don't know, I guess I just take it on trust. Other cultures count time differently, so for them, 2008 is meaningless.
And how do you know any of us are really here?
Exactly. Where is here, anyway?
Maybe we’re just floating out in space somewhere
At the speed of 600,000 miles per hour, as a matter of fact.
