Ah, so that's how we end. And here I thought we didn't have anything to worry

never having met her husband! (or rather, her husband never met her; and from
reading the article, not many of her followers met her either)
The cynic in me is tempted, very tempted, to start a religeon. Then I too can
have mindless slaves doing my bidding while I rake in the money …
