You cutting on your brain, you end with mash up brain.

Right. There is no end of comforting folk beliefs. Racism, 
creationism, guardian angels, anal probes by aliens. Who are we to 
cry stinking fish?

Actually I thought it was pretty funny, as well as vomitous, that 
some cunning sharks should have mashed up a debased form of 
evolutionary theory, reincarnation and astrology. I see a big future 
in neuro-astrology, eco-angelology, brane-numerology, and Atlantean 
Singularitarianism. In fact, I see that Terasem has already paved the 
way to a non-profit singularity religion. Hallelujah!

MB was spot-on, as usual.
