animals in M&D

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

YES! Age of reason. And before we meet the LED, the Sanity
of these characters, of the narrators, and the story is
undermined. 

"The stories, by the time Profane heard them, were pretty
much apocryphal and more fancy than recorded record itself
warranted. At no point in the twenty or so years the legend
had been handed on did it occur to anyone to question the
old priest's sanity. It was this way with sewer stories.
They just are. Truth or falsity don't apply."			--V..123

It did occur to me, that even father Fairing might have
difficulty sodomizing a rat.
