Y'know, Houdini actually died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix?  None of that Chinese water trap shit.  Bloody amazing man, but he was only human.  All that showmanship and mystery, and he took his last breath in a hospital bed.

There any room service around here?  I'm starving.

Jules, you hanging in there?

Glad I thought ahead and borrowed some books from the libr'y before this ruckus, I'd be bored out of me skull otherwise.

Happy Valentine's.

Nice costumes.  Miss the comic convention?  I wouldn' wanna be on the judging panel.  That bloke in the seven foot tall green suit's a downright winner.
