Re: OT: Challenge

["Jason Bulle" <jbulle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I was told once that the cenobites (hellraiser 1-?) were the
point-things of the force of order, evil nasty conform or die (gruesomely)
order, but order none the less, and the nightbreed (Nightbreed) were the
embodiments of chaos.

the idea of a world with no chaos leaves me a bit cold

some might remember an episode of Dr. Who which involved an angel (he was
the angel Light)turning everyone to stone so they would stop changing (i.e.:
moving further from what we were when we were created)

I love a bit of chaos now and then, just today a friend had his can of soda
turned the backwards and it dumped al over him when he went to drink, I
nearly required medical attention hehe
