You see, this is why I fancy myself a bit of a mad scientist.  I come up
with all sorts of whacked-out **** (such as sidecars for horses and the
pudding mine), and I was BORN ****ed up.  Seriously- my mother drank and
smoked pot while pregnant (granted, this was the 70s, but still...).  I
believe that it has given me considerable permanent altered-state insight,
which helps my mad science attempts.
