That most wholly phenomenal book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, has this to say on the subject of wormholes; They're a bitch. Especially when they lead to parallel universes. Best to try to avoid them altogether. Which is an admirable piece of advice in every respect. Except for one small problem. No one can accurately predict when or ( Read more... )

Julian paused in his walk as he spotted the man. "Oh. It's you," he said cautiously, remembering all too well the drink he'd been made on New Year's Eve, though events after the first sip were hazy at best.
