It reminds me of the (hopefully apocryphal) story that supposedly happened in the nineties, after the release of one volume of "The best air guitar album in the world". Apparently, some music chains were selling it with the tongue-in-cheek offer of a free air guitar, until one lady went in to buy one for her son and threatened to sue when there was no actual guitar forthcoming. Had it been me, I'd have mimed handing over an invisible guitar.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
