MDMD: What is this junk?

[Otto]

My google-search only had delivered this one on Nessel:
http://www.geocities.com/televisioncity/set/1116/ep407.htm

But I've never seen "thirtysomething."

I did leave out the "Creation's Dark Engineer (97)" because I still don't
know what to make of it. That there's an "Engineer" behind the Creation is
an idea of the Enlightenment but why is this engineer "Dark" in Cherrycoke's
opinion?
