Just a quick something before I go off to class...  An idea, really...

	Fate is Strange.

	Take, for example, the case of one Jon Farber, currently ranting 
and raving in his parent's basement.

 	"Heh heh heh....  The circle is complete now...  In only a few 
short minutes, the moons of Jupiter will be aligned with Proxima 
Centauri, and the Magic will be channeled through the conduits, and I... 
I will absorb all the knowledge I need, and be transfered to... THE 
SLAYERS UNIVERSE!!!!"

	Jon started laughing a bit maniacally as he knelt in the middle 
of the mystic Circle o' Power.  At one node, a stack of books, all 
relating to swordfighting and magic, as well as the Earthdawn Rulebook 
and Companion, sat, awaiting their demise as they were absorbed into Jon 
to give him the knowledge.

	At the other node sat a lone Slayers Tape.  The box read 
'Slayers, Volume 1.  Japanese with English Subtitles'.  That was to be 
the key to open the gateway to the desired universe.

	Unfortunately, Jon is a rather sloppy video watcher.  The tape 
inside the sleeve, the part that held the data on what universe and 
when, wasn't Slayers.

	It was BubbleGum Crisis.

	And as the moon and stars aligned, and the Magic flared, Jon was 
filled with swordfighting techniques, granted the ability to learn 
Magic, and enough knowledge for him to survive in a mideval fantasy 
world.

	Then he was promptly dumped into one of the best known Cyberpunk 
animes in history.

	Fate is strange like that.

---------------------

I don't know if I will continue this, but I've just been thinking of 
late, 'Gee, what if the SI went wrong, and you ended up with all the 
knowledges that you'd need for one world, and got dumped in a completely 
different one?'  And this just kinda popped out of that....

Oh well, the idea is out there, anyone that wants it...  Could be very 
interesting...

Or the Moment of Truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.
