Re: TIB: Aim for the 92


I've got a 92, and I'd love to try it out.  Please send it along!

Firstly, that God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say 
circuitous ways.  God does not play dice with the universe;
He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might
be compared, from the perspective of any of the other 
players,* to be involved in an obscure and complex version of
poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite 
stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who
smiles all the time.

-Good Omens
