39. Ahhh... Robert Benchley was a favorite of mine growing up.
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 10:27 AM by TahitiNut

She must host some worm hole terminus into an alternate, Dali-esque reality ... a portal to some non-Euclidean, reason-free universe. There seem to be creatures there using her to make contact. Eerie.
