Said Spock, wearing a Groucho nose.

I cannot believe I just typed that sentence.
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.'

And then there are those that think the ujniverse is cold, empty, dark, lifeless, yet incredible, astonishing, deeply moving, brilliant, beautiful, and exciting.

It just occurred to me that if the multiverse theory is true, it's quite possible that a universe exists where there is a Spock with a Groucho nose.
