cyborg gribbly.

Name me any green character who would want to have their only foot removed to be replaced with a slinky spring.

What happened?

It leaked.

DNA The Great wrote: "In other words," said Benji, steering his curious little vehicle right over to Arthur, "there's a good chance that the structure of the question is encoded in the structure of your brain - so we want to buy it off you."

"What, the question?" said Arthur.

"Yes," said Ford and Trillian.

"For lots of money," said Zaphod.

"No, no," said Frankie, "it's the brain we want to buy."

"What!"

"I thought you said you could just read his brain electronically," protested Ford.

"Oh yes," said Frankie, "but we'd have to get it out first. It's got to be prepared."

"Treated," said Benji.

"Diced."

"Thank you," shouted Arthur, tipping up his chair and backing away from the table in horror.

"It could always be replaced," said Benji reasonably, "if you think it's important."

"Yes, an electronic brain," said Frankie, "a simple one would suffice."

"A simple one!" wailed Arthur.

"Yeah," said Zaphod with a sudden evil grin, "you'd just have to program it to say What? and I don't understand and Where's the tea? - who'd know the difference?"

"What?" cried Arthur, backing away still further. "See what I mean?" said Zaphod and howled with pain because of something that Trillian did at that moment.

"I'd notice the difference," said Arthur.

"No you wouldn't," said Frankie mouse, "you'd be programmed not to."

Oh Yes.

But not in a nice, happy family 2.4 kids (ewww!) garden with flowers, puppy playing on the lawn, neighbour waving over the fence kind of way, oh no.

No, this thread lives in a "Flatliners" sort of way, repeatedly returning from the dead, and potentially bringing something unspeakable with it.

Nobody ever said whoring for sheep would be easy.

Man, that's a film I've not seen in years! I remember laughing out loud numerous times during the course of that movie... :-) Was it supposed to be a comedy?
