Crazy Actors Christian Bale And Nicholas Cage To Play Crazy Inventors Nikola Tesla And Thomas Edison

[Madeleine Maudlin]

Were you thinking about what I was saying about the Second law, you thought
I *must* be satirizing there, so maybe with Cage, too...?

No I was brilliantly serious about the Second Law, too.  Not that my
comment had anything to do with the Against discussion, it was just a
question relating to what you said about Second Law tropisms, or something.

I didn't intend to anyways offend you Shiva, I just don't like laws and the
*second* one happens to be particularly of rather insidious intent, I
suppose.
