Nobody devises a cleverer plan than myself. It is simple biology. Flagella are the superior manipulation tool. I have two that can type, three that can visualize contingencies and reactions, and one to hold a cup of Joe. Simultaneously. I’ll debate anyone who says differently. Continue reading

Q: “Lightsaber?”
