    Ah, a glimpse into the nonsensical world of quantum mysticism. I admire the attempt to enlighten the world--this probably comes from some very well-meaning people... but there is a reason why math and metaphor generally don't mix.

    So, if God is below Telepathy according to this diagram, does that mean we can beat Him/Her/It up with our psycho-flexitive powers if we try REALLY hard?

    I thought for sure the ratio constant was 4:20.

    Huh?! Does that mean we have to throw out all these fancy-looking calendars? No more funny kitties, picturesque, or hot babe calendars?

    Wow, this has really turned my world completely upside down. The potential revelations and ramifications of such a bold theory surely boggles the mind.

    My only question is, under this new theory, how many experience points do i get for punching a hooker? Seems like it was easier to calculate XP under the 2nd Edition Advanced Dimensions and Deities rules then with this newfangled 3rd edition they're pushing now.

    I love the fact that they state that "time is a frequency" without any further explanation. A frequency is the number of occurrences of something over a given period of time. So I guess time is the number of occurrences of time over a given period of time, then?

    no time for the love you send,
