I had this dream last night... (yes, I actually fell asleep long enough to dream)

In it, I was looking at a sudoku grid, about three-quarters filled in, floating in empty space. As I watched it seemed to be retreating, slowly at first then quickly gathering speed. I realized after a moment that it wasn't moving away from me, but was in fact shrinking. When it had collapsed down to a single point it exploded spectacularly, flinging millions of tiny fragments outward. As the fragments slowed, I realized they were numbers -- 1s and 4s and 9s and 2s and so on, all randomly distributed but now filling the entire universe, where, once they had reached a barely imperceptible outward movement, they began to shine.

I woke up with the realization that I had just witnessed/imagined the creation of the universe out of sudoku numbers.

[Poll #1244673]

and in the comments, does it worry anyone else that the sudoku puzzle wasn't completed before it was destroyed?

Daughter: blah blah pokemon blah blah [me not really listening here] blah blah Zigzagoon the Raccoon pokemon blah blah--
Me: Wha? Zigzagoon? Really?
Daughter: Zigzagoon. The Raccoon pokemon.
Me: Zigzagoon the Raccoon. That's a real pokemon?
Daughter: Yes.
Me: Hey, if he was inflatable, would he be Zigzagoon the Balloon Raccoon? And if he was kind of stupid would he be Zigzagoon the Buffoon Balloon Raccoon?
Daughter: No.
Me: And if he was eating breakfast he'd be Zigzagoon the Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Spoon!
Daughter: [more emphatically] No.
Me: If he was eating breakfast at lunchtime he'd be Zigzagoon the Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Noon Spoon. And if he used that spoon to beat up and menace people he'd be Zigzagoon the Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Noon Goon Spoon.
Daughter: Stop.
Me: And if he was a funny dark red he'd be Zigzagoon the Maroon Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Noon Goon Spoon!
Daughter: Stop!
Me: And if he was eating puff pastry thingies he'd be Zigzagoon the Maroon Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Noon Goon Macaroon Spoon!
Daughter: Shut up! Shut! Up!
Me: And if he was singing Frank Sinatra songs he'd be Zigzagoon the Crooning Maroon Buffoon Balloon Raccoon with a Noon Goon Macaroon Spoon.
Daughter: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [actually runs away]
