To quote a wise entity: "It means that the known polarization
vector of consciousness is the Chandrasekhar mass."

I love markov chain programs, sometimes they almost make sense. I
actually realized Forrests post was a joke and still spent a
while reading some of the wonderous sentences pondering their
meaning. Good postmodernism is like the tarot, your mind makes up
a lot of interesting patterns in the chaos.

The same generator as produced the above also said the final word
on the uploading-identity debate: "Identity is a symbiote in fine
champagne."

Cheers!
