Pre-Halloween Creepy Realization Thread:
You're Living in a Simulation, and There's Always a Glitch

Think you perceive the world accurately?

Think your memory is sound?

Okay, then:

Question:

In the original Judy Garland Wizard of Oz -- yes, the one you all remember -- what color was the gun the Scarecrow wielded?

What's that? You say, "What are you talking about, he didn't have a gun!!!"

Yes he did.

And no, it's not a deleted scene.

And also no: Not when the actor is playing him as a farmhand. No, I mean when he's the actual Scarecrow.

It's not a trick question.

It's in the movie.

The Scarecrow is packing heat.

Not under his clothes. He takes out the gun and wields it.

So what color was the Scarecrow's gun?

Wait to hit the comments or "view more" until you've thought it over and searched your memory.

The answer is "silver." The Scarecrow is packing a silver revolver.

Sometimes your own brain has an Uncanny Valley in it.

Ethan Van Sciver mentioned this on The JACK show, on Cecil's channel. It should be cued up to the Scarecrow's Got a Gun discussion.

This is the Mandela Effect, that's what I'm talking about.

It's sort of like when Santa Claus starts handing out medieval weapons in The Lion, The Witch, and Wardrobe, but I do remember the "Presents from Father Christmas" scene.
