I don't think it really gets into the twilight zone until you start throwing in seroius Lambda expressions. When i was noodling around in EF and started doing a lot of Linq to Entities one day I found all that making sense and I became very afraid. Have been away from it a while now and when I go back to it it is like remembering the world on LSD , the weird parts.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
