Unless I am wrong, that is not what you, 8099, are doing. Oh well, some people are having fun with the concept.) ---

**J8099** Tell yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. It is a merciful thing that the human mind is so incapable of correlating its contents. The truth is in plain sight. But, you won’t let yourself see it. This a good thing. For the truth would crack your mind into a thousand lunatic pieces. ---

Scott…Do you understand what I mean when I say ‘alternate universe?’ The idea of there being other universes (and Earths) than the one we’re living in? ---

> [@J8099](#): > > Scott…Do you understand what I mean when I say ‘alternate universe?’ The idea of there being other universes (and Earths) than the one we’re living in? No. I am not a psychic. Nor do I care. Nor do I see what this has to do with the discussion on hand that of asking a [hudge](http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/animal) fan of H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos questions? Explanation for the link: I did not spell huge correctly, and then remembered a flash cartoon, where a similar word was used, so I linked to it. Because I thought it was funny. It has nothing to do with the mythos. ---

Okey-dokey. Then I suggest you read the posts I made toward the top of this page. ---

Well, they’re big badasses, to be sure, but the one I’d personally watch out for is Azathoth. I mean, he’s the size of a galaxy, for God’s sake. All the others are pikers compared to him (it?). ---

Since the words “Chick” and “Mythos” have come up in the same sentence, you wouldn’t happen to have a copy of the “Cthulhu Tract,” would you? ---
