When transmat became cheap and reliable he

  • When transmat became cheap and reliable he couch-surfed around the globe. But even with friends he often stayed in a corner, bandages still on his head. One evening, though, he
  • and some pals were transmat-ized to the carnival's Round-Up ride. "Ack, a cornerless prison!" he lamented. The centrifugal force peeled away his bandages, revealing a row of metal
  • staples across the poor creature's countenance. His head lolled from side to side. The centrifugal force was so great that the staples finally flew from his face revealing
  • a second mouth in his cheek. Finally the "Tilt-a-whirl" came to stop. The Carnie said, "Alright, another shock and roll...woah!" The Carnie saw his second mouth and nearly lost
  • his health insurance policy but an insurance assessor determined a second mouth was covered. The Carnies dentist employed extra stuff when he made an appointment
  • to install a full mouth diamond grill. You see body modification was a hobby of sorts. What should he work on next? He thought maybe
  • if he had scrolling LEDs stapled to his forehead and hardwired into his brain. Now the whole world would know what he was thinking.
  • He needn't have worried. His forehead thought LED showed no evidence of thought at all - just LED white noise. Sometimes 'burger' would scroll across, perhaps at lunchtime, but oth
  • erwise the panel was chaos. Physicist Lawrence Krauss appeared, pushed his glasses up his nose, and pointed at the LED array. "CMB," he informed. "And I'm hungry. You wanna grab a
  • small critter with our bare hands, bash its head in with a rock and roast it over an open fire?" I said, "Let's strip down to our loincloths & paint ourselves with mud & ash too."
