Raptor, what do you know? I do SO have a hamster in my care at this time, although I may not strictly be its "owner". Ya don't believe me, come on over and have a look at the little beast. (Raptor lives quite nearby...)

However, all this is minor in the light of a shocking new discovery...

I brought down some floodlights, so as to properly illuminate the cage for taking some really good photographs...and...and...

Well, to put it bluntly, in better light I see that it is not the face of Christ at all. It actually looks more like Wolfman Jack. Or maybe like my friend Mike Latter, before he got the hair and beard trimmed recently. Or it could be my great-grand-uncle Rudolph from Vienna...

At any rate, I don't think it's Jesus.

Nutty's words were prophetic. The dream is dead. The hamster can sleep undisturbed. This thread has run its tragic course, and I intend to go downtown and drown my sorrows (*sniff*). I coulda been a contender.
