| Some silly product ideas floating around in my mind, yelling at me. From American Product Naming Inc. comes "X-treme Prozac-O's" - the breakfast cereal that makes you content with another day of drudgery. From Americana Merchandising, "Zkeletor" - the antidepressant in the form of a lolly that resembles a plastic toy based on a popular cartoon villain. And vibrates.

| reminds me of a similar group of silly ideas i had a few months ago- The religious product line for the modern american believer: Nacho Jesus- nacho cheese flavoured snack crackers shaped like jesus Sin Glasses- sun glasses with special sin isolating polarization, keeping the wearer 'pure'. Jesus Cancer Snacks- chewy substance bars embued with magical powers, faith derived, of course. They come in two varieties: one flavor will rejuvinate you, the other brings you closer to god by subjecting your form to cancerous substances. Blessed Dirt- suitable for all your daily tasks. Can be used in gardening, sprinkled around for luck, or flung at rushing hordes of evil undead. |

| That's why the undead have to be careful these days. Do you have any idea how many atoms have been blessed in the past eon? It's crazy out there! |

| I would imagine that due to the mixing and matching that occurs with atoms over the years, by this time every molecule of anything you pick up has at least one blessed atom in it. This is actually my latest bemusement with regard to insanely militant vegans - the sort that would rather die than come into contact with anything that originates from an animal in any way at all. (Have you ever noticed that this particular species of vegan doesn't even like animals very much and often forces cockroaches to leave before they want to?) My understanding of such things leads me to believe that any sort of food you eat probably contains atoms that have at some stage been part of an animal. Even lettuce. |

| Most certainly! I intended to say something along your lines, minus the vegan mention, but I was trying to be funny. A man can try.... I don't believe everything that I read, but I have read that statistically, everyone in the world has 100 atoms that once belonged to any given dead person. Honestly, it sounds about right. Often when I eat something, I remember that it was once a bacterium of some sort, once a dinosaur, probably algae and may have been there when life on Earth began. I had triceratops chops with a side of squirrel and King Arthur for dinner. How about you? |
