HAHA!!! I pre-ordered a copy from a Books-A-Million I used to work for and the automated order thingy(technical term) called today to let me know it was in. I managed to spend a few minutes flirting with an ex-coworker and she broke the street date and let me buy it today. On the way home,I realized that I had managed to buy a copy of Ground Zero on 9/11...I would say its a coincidence,but we all know theres no more of those
. To make it even more eerie,last night I was involved in a pretty serious car wreck...some idiot ran a red light and T-Boned me...no one was hurt(although my car was totaled),but I have to wonder....was it all part of a plot by the Otherness to keep me from obtaining my copy of Ground Zero today?? If so,he-who-must-not-be named failed...theres pizza in the oven,yuengling in the fridge,and I'm just getting ready to crack open the book...see you all on the other side!!

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.
