Yes, I was joking: I don't really think I'm so perfect that having me as

Well, if you put it that way, I'd have to say yeah... the "Absolute God"
position does
have some appeal... obeying the limitations of spacetime does get to be a
drag sometimes...
Where do I put in my application?
By the way, why just ~Terran~ Space? I want all the rest too!!
