Anders I can imagine an old American TV staple the Twilight Zone, where one
keeps seeing Anderses, just far enough removed in time and space that it
theoretically *could* be the same guy, apparently getting around very
quickly, but certainly giving the impression that there are dozens, perhaps
hundreds, maybe thousands of Anderses, harmlessly Andersing about, causing
one to question one's own sanity as one sees each new Anders, each behaving
in exact Andersonian consistency as the previous had Andersed, all perfectly
benign but terrifyingly numerous, as you enter... the Twilight Zone.
