"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Maybe you have no character

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: But you would rather not go to Brazil?
W: I would like to hear some samba music in the original.
M: Which isn't always a word, of course.
W: I suppose if you are a terrible purist of the English language, it isn't.
M: You like to get down to brass tacks.
W: I like to call a spade a spade.
M: Something was on the surface of the lake, floating, as was expected.
W: Floating, a "damp carnival."
M: Fear it might interfere with self-development.
W: Why is self-development so extraordinarily difficult and unpleasant?
M: That was a character string.
W: All right, it's a question of character, encoded in characters.
M: Well, if I didn't answer, you wouldn't know. And I don't mean ultimate
beginnings, I mean, where did I just begin?
W: Did you begin with character, or obtain it after much useless suffering?
M: I'm not sure.
W: Maybe you have no character.
M: I do know, I expressed myself quite unequivocally.
W: Saying "I'm not sure" is an equivocation.
M: Could there be nanotubes in glass bubbles?
W: I don't know if glass can get that small.
M: Bye!
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
