Well, having glanced through the comments on my way to the message block, I see that everything I planned on mentioning has already been said. I, of course, love the Diefalogue, the infinite supply of donuts, and the opposable paws. And the bovine semen, especially since it (well, that part) is a true story. And the guys and their personal interpretation of what being weak and duty mean.

I also saw what you meant about An Unfinished Universe making you want to weep. (I followed the link, hadn't known of it beforehand.) That's one powerful piece of writing. But then so's yours.
