Check out the movie "what the bleep?" Quantum physics wow!
So I climb back up the rabbit hole as much as I can to try to understand
the Republican types, but it's far too late. Once you're as evolved as I

I wouldn't mind playing with Dolphins though so they're probably smarter
than Republicons.
Bleep! What a boost!
