Because the gorgeously catenary curve of her mesozoic hip
varies based on the intricate balance between passion reason

Because loose lips sink ships,
explaining why the Incas only used virgins
to sacrifice to the sungod...

describing the structure and dynamics of the universe, directly
from the Creator. He is absorbed into a cosmococcic vortex
and a clone of Ben is emitted, taking his place in the world.
...
15,324,100. In a New Zealand rainforest, a drop of rain enchanted with
fairy farts fall onto clone Ben (age 29) 's eye tooth, causing him
to be transformed into a kind of Satanic angel, with sense organs
embedded in each of his component particles, and a new kind of
