Yes, but in this particular conspiracy the author's contributions are
often cryptic, perhaps purposefully inconclusive (like life itself).
We have a lot of subtle paradoxes that seem to be unveiling some kind
of information. Roger the cynical statistician decides to take his
lover to church where they are singing a macaronic (more than one
language, one of them German). We are told that "ghosts" are hanging
about The White Visitation. Pointy the creepy mad scientist gets
creeped himself by thoughts of a mummy's curse on the Book and
masturbates himself to sleep dreaming of winning the Nobel if he lives
long enough. Carroll Eventyr contemplates his history of surrender
with an almost empirical regard. There are some topsy-turvy happenings
here. What are we to make of all this?
