helped write a routine that had sims thinking they
were outside the sim controlling the sim. It was
pretty hilarious. You should have seen one guy who
took a nickname from one of Broderick's books who got
all uppity thinking he was pulling pranks on sims when
he was in fact a sim himself. He's a great figure of
fun. <span style="color:#1F497D"> </span>Dr. Mark

Little do YOU know, Dr. Walker! In fact YOU are
the sim who thought you wrote the sim to pull a
gag on the sim (me) who thought I was writing the
sim to screw with Martin’s “mind.” I WROTE you,
pal. I wrote you to “think” you wrote me. We are
out here watching you “think” about this right
now, yukking it up and having a big real life
party, watching you get all uppity thinking you
wrote us. “Think” about it.</span></p>

(Now back to simulating banks collapsing. I like simulations with no
link whatsoever to reality. A bit like abstract art...)<br>
