"Midnight sat down in the large comfy chair that took up the main part of the small room and glared at the view screen, waiting for the "Great Evil" to show itself. He blinked as the screen flicked on, revealing a young brunette woman with light blue eyes. She was a little on the chunky side and looked about as evil as a patch of daisies."

"ZAB: (blink) You’ve read the Animorphs books?

VEGETA: (looking embarrassed) Kakarot came along with his younger brat to Capsule Corp. a couple of months ago and had one of the books with him. I was bored, so I took it from him.

ZAB: O.O Goku can read?

VEGETA: No clue. He was flipping the pages to look at the cool transformation effect while giggling at himself."

"I'm surprised no one thinks the blue in house makes it seem like a hypertext link, which are often this same blue color. This makes the house a scathing critique of the internet. Follow one link to another, all leading to more empty content. One is soon lost in the labyrinthine trail of one's own choices, that you can only follow back because of the fishline trail of your bookmarks, which disappear as soon as you log off. There is no warmth, nourishment, or light therein, and nothing works for long. It consumes power with a negligible return and it is seemingly endless. You trust what you find there at your own risk, and what you're only going to find is a whole lot of nothing."

"Politics comes from the root word 'poly,' meaning many, and 'ticks,' a bloodsucking parasite."
