As long as you're wishing for miracles, could you wish for me to be younger and thinner, too? ;-)

Weirdly, I find I get most of my wishes, though some of them take quite a long time. I'm never sure whether that's because I adopt the Calvin and Hobbes philosophy, in which Calvin sets low expectations, so that he achieves his goals, or because of weird metaphysical processes and the Gladstone Gander effect [GG]. It feels like GG.

Even the laws of nature are no barrier. CDMA is based on breaching the laws of physics according to a Stanford physics professor. But, hey presto, CDMA-powered cyberspace is taking over the world, suffusing Earth with It's anodyne phragmented photons bringing peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love.

Before my GG gets to you, I still have a few miracles left for my genie to perform. I don't want it getting tired. One of them is messing with telomeres and genetic engineering using quantum computing to take over from mindless, indifferent and cruel natural processes. That might even be of use to the geriatric among us. Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, aim high and go for the GG effect.
