I seem to be some sort of abstract concept, floating in the ether… Or perhaps a superhero who can get anything done, as long as there’s a way to do it! Yeah, let’s go with that second one. ---

Well, I’m probably in for a very long life, though maybe not a pleasant one, as people might start chopping my limbs off on a regular basis, and stealing and eating my children. Though there is an offchance I might just wind up male, Tanzanian and an excellent [runner](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filbert_Bayi) instead. Or a small community. Or just as a nut, in which case there’s little change. ---

Well, I guess 3/4 of the world would now be my oyster. And I’d weight a hefty 678 pounds. Wonder how long it would be till some southern redneck had me on the end of a line? ---
