Of course, there is a site that explains All Your Base. The web enables me to go from the joy of serendipity to glutted with information.

A friend tells me her son is asking questions like these: Why is the sky in the sky? What would happen if boys had girls' butts? If the earth was flat and upside down, would we fall off? Is death really like sleeping? I said that he would fit right in to my profession. The only marginal one is about the butts. But I'm sure there's someone studying sexuality who would find it a very interesting question. And the one about the sky is probably malformed: something can't be in itself. You see what I'm doing: I'm taking it seriously.
