[Wonderful Labs] The Ghost of Thieves and Wonder

[Wonderful Labs]

Dearest Readers,

	One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, but the pills
they give you in Potrzebie drop-kick you through the field goal of
reality.  Oh, man.  Mister Wonderful here, cradling my coconuts and
wondering what else can happen to three men and a little monkey when
people stop acting polite and start acting Potrzebian.

	For one thing, they'll get meaningful stares from Amelia Earhart about
their bar tab.


	FURTHER FUN FACTS FROM FROTH-FESTOONED POTRZEBIE:
	(plucked from the sodden verbiage haze 
	drifting 'round the pub. take with a grain of
	salt, or several shots of Old Peculiar)

	* Due to parallel evolution and unnatural selection, the Potrzebian
National Anthem is to the tune of "Strip" by Adam Ant.

	* The empty Parliament buildings of the central government are rumoured
to be haunted by Richard Nixon and/or a giant slug.

	* The most famous Potrzebian movie is a series of woodcuts stamped onto
a bedsheet with mare's blood and filmed with a dozen oatmeal box pinhole
cameras.  It depicts the ancient tale of King Hunkidori's trip through
the 8th dimension and subsequent discovery of bedsheets. Title:
"Azimuth? I'm So Azimuth I Can Hardly Plotz!"

	* Here, fleas are 20% more likely to work in a union circus.

	* The first wombat spotted in Potrzebie turned out to be an extremely
angry frog.
	
	* As the islands that make up Potrzebie span the entire globe every
citizen knows a little bit of every language, but no one can explain why
the President of the United States can't pronounce "nuclear."

	* All Potrzebian wars, including the Sybil War (1475-1498)(in which
twelve parallel-universe Potrzebies converged and argued over who got to
use the beard trimmer), have been decided by surf combat.

	* Identity is fluid in Potrzebie; become anyone you want, but make sure
you want all that you become.

	* Older Potrzebians miss the days when "Drunk-n-Bungle" music topped
the charts.

	* The veterans of the psychic wars will really talk your pineal gland off.

	* If your muscles ache - it's because a few days in Potrzebie makes
your whole body smile.

	There's more to tell, and tales don't tell themselves, but the hour is
growing late and it looks like we are once again going to have to peel
Mister Malice away from the karaoke stage (he discovered that they could
do "Voulez Vous" and has since been incorrigible), so I must away.

your man overseas until the seas are over,

Mister Wonderful
