Laundry is the fourth dimension. Yow!

It might or might not be significant that I was just reading a short,
web-based biography of William H. Johnson (I _think_ that was the
name) known by P.T. Barnum and his clientele as Zip the What-Is-It,
and his line of patter (when he spoke at all, which was rare) was
pretty much what you'd expect from his comic-strip namesake Zippy the
Pinhead. However, upon his deathbed, he whispered in the ear of his
beloved sister the following last words: "Well, I guess we fooled 'em
all for a long time..." Apparently he was not a true microcephalic:
he had a teeny cranium and brain, but it was all more or less fully
formed, and his reasoning capacity was unimpaired.

Of course, some people say the same thing about Zippy. ;-)
