Funny stuff!

Mutabor!

You keep surprising me. It's not just 'funny stuff', do you know that? We talked with Marina once about internet generating realities and identities, presences if you want.
I think there are deeper levels here you should bring forward. I'd try and handle in a subtler way the 'we are not real' thing.
