Stimbo unpacks the large woooden crate labelled "ACME Giant Crossbow" and the second, unmarked crate containing a chloroformed, bound and gagged Tempus which he proceeds to load into the aforementioned siege weapon. Adroitly he twiddles the handcranks, adjusting the elevation and azimuth, before winding the main handle to prime the device. With a cackle of triumph, Stimbo squeezes the trigger, releasing the bow and sending Tempus flying like an arrow as far across the ocean as his trajectory will allow. Meanwhile fruit flies are tucking into a lovely ripe banana, in accordance with Groucho's Second Law of Thermopunamics.

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.'

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

apophenia is tied to a chair and forced to listen while Godschild explains why god is real in great detail. In an attempt at self preservation her brain shuts down and she slowly passes away.

Meanwhile, Tempus is still airborne after being fired from Stimbo's giant crossbow (that's not a euphemism). As downbeatplumb goes for a walk to the local store, Tempus, the makeshift intercontinental projectile, appears over the horizon, screaming, and pierces through the midsection of downbeatplumb, disemboweling him.

After safely landing in downbeatplumbs midsection, a group of giant amazonian women come up to greet him. They chant loudly: "SNU SNU, SNU SNU, SNU SNU!!!!!!!!!!"
