"Viewed from the fifth dimension, the rest of us look like sock puppets. From the sixth dimension, you can see Karl Rove's hand is in each sock puppet. From the seventh dimension, you can see what is in Karl Rove, but that is too horrible for most to contemplate. The eighth dimension is intentionally left blank. The ninth dimension contains review exercises. Only the instructor has access to the tenth dimension. Please do not scribble in the eleventh dimension. The twelfth dimension is for clean-up. Wipe carefully." -- The Sloganeer, 2005-09-07, in the followups to "Fafblog Presents: The Do-It-Yourself Emergency Management Guide!"

Yesterday morning I woke from an odd dream involving a wedding, teaching a poodle to perform part of the ceremony, a renaissance faire, a walking-stick/longbow/ice-cream-scoop combination device, and an odd vehicle that was part Microbus, part Beetle, and part modern SUV (but without a rear seat).

Today I don't remember much of my dreams except for a desire to goad someone else into painting a trompe l'oeil rendition of a jagged hole with water streaming out of it on the side of a water tower (in the middle of the night, as a surprise for the neighbouring population the next morning), and a burning curiosity regarding what percentage of "wall warts" in use in the world at any given moment are actually plugged into wall outlets as opposed to power strips and extension cords.
