microdot and EM readers: The Brain Police is one of my (few) daily reads. I saw your post and I clipped it for my own nefarious purposes. It was a great post and the substance is hilarious. EM readers of the Sermonette should go read it and everyone should read BP daily. It will keep your brain in line, legal and law abiding. I know it's done that for my brain. That's why I'm going to steal your post (but I'll leave a note saying I did it!).
