“I was observing the motion of a boat which was rapidly drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of horses, when the boat suddenly stopped – not so the mass of water in the channel which it had put in motion; it accumulated round the prow of the vessel in a state of violent agitation, then suddenly leaving it behind, rolled forward with great velocity, assuming the form of a large solitary elevation, a rounded, smooth and well-defined heap of water, which continued its course along the channel apparently without change of form or diminution of speed. I followed it on horseback, and overtook it still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine miles an hour, preserving its original figure some thirty feet long and a foot to a foot and a half in height. Its height gradually diminished, and after a chase of one or two miles I lost it in the windings of the channel. Such, in the month of August 1834, was my first chance interview with that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have called the Wave of Translation.”

Mathematics courses have given the average physics or engineering student a rather warped view of global expansion methods: The coefficients are everything, and values of f(x) at various points are but the poor underclass.

After two years, “Quasars” and the “Reengineered” have replaced “Iron-willed Algernons”.

Could you live for years on just MealSquares? Yes, but this likely wouldn’t be 100% optimal for health.

The first half, which is then named Seymour, resembles a squashed, hairless blue cat with four (later six) legs, a long tail, and a similar neck with a gigantic eyeball at one end. The other half is named Edgar, and looks the same as before.

Banished to the Valley of the Monsters, he became their king, but the Reality Quake’s effects also drove him partially insane.

It is worth noting that it is not Hare’s intention to divide up the entire human race into either archangels or proles; according to his theory each person shares the traits of both to limited and varying extents at different times.
