DOCTOR A$THOR Y. R. PENDRIPPY AT YOUR SERVICE.

'tis "per se" coming... the second... ish.

and the reason .... "a" ???

ask me again.

OH, TO BE EMILY BLUNT . . .

HELLO, THERE IS OVERABUNDANT PROOF OF TIME TRAVEL AND ACTUAL INTELLIGENT DESIGN WOVEN INTO EVERY SINGLE WORD OF EVERY LANGUAGE. IT"S THE KIND OF THING THAT MANY SMART PEOPLE SHOULD FIND INTRIGUING, AND LO; WOVEN INTO MY DISSERTATION AND THE PROOF ITSELF IS A SERIES OF SUGGESTIONS FROM DICKS AND RODS AND DEATH HIMSELF ABOUT HOW THIS DISCL OS UR E, THIS SIGNIFICANT SITUATIONAL CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF OUR EXISTENCE, CREATES A MORAL DEMAND TO USE THIS NEW KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO CORRECT A NUMBER OF SOCIAL ISSUES THAT ARE BEING INTENTIONALLY EXACERBATED BECAUSE YOU, COLLECTIVELY, DIDN'T WANT TO STOP BABIES FROM STARVING TO DEATH IN ORDER TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING A DATE.

ALSO I'M TRYING TO FREE US FROM HIDDEN SLAVERY, DISCLOSING THE EXISTENCE OF MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY AND HOW WE MIGHT USE IT FOR GOOD RATHER THAN STUPID; AND TO HELP US BUILD A BETTER DEMOCRACY; SOMETHING I COLLECTIVELY CALL "TECHNOCRAZY."

SUCCINCTLY, U R IN THE MATRIX... SO CLEARLY:

I'M ADAM, BTW.

AND FOR SOME HISTORY

God locked the Darkness away where it could do no harm, and he created a Mark that would serve as both lock and key, which he entrusted to his most valued lieutenant, Lucifer. But the Mark began to assert its own will, revealed itself as a curse, and began to corrupt. Lucifer became jealous of man. God banished Lucifer to Hell. Lucifer passed the Mark to Cain, who passed the Mark to you, the proverbial finger in the dike.	"
