Well, my Lady in Black, you on a one woman crusade to DIR-ify the world and considering the philosophical nature of DIR it all being holistic and low calorie and the answer to everything then consider some more philospophy, eastern, yin and yang, for you, then there is a counter balance in the universe and it is ME<----------NEMROD, Hunter of the Depths! For the darkness there has to be light to maintain the balance, the essential equilibrium.

Now there is a word, something about it is just to granola for me.
Oh, one other thing my Lady In Black, I do actually like you very much. I am sorry that we are absolute total opposites. There once was a scorpian and a frog. The frog sitting there minding to his buisness aside a deep and swift stream was approached by a scorpian. The scorpian said to the frog, "Mr. Frog, would you be so kind as to let me hop on your back and you swim me across yon swift and deep stream." The frog said, "no freaking way Mr. Scorpian as you will sting me and I will die." The scorpian thought a minute and took a thoughtful stance and then offered, "no Mr. Frog, I would not sting you because then we would both die." The frog now strikes a thoughtful stance in return and thinking he had wanted to visit the other side said, "Ok then Mr. Scorpian, I shall ride you to the other side, please hop aboard." So, the scorpian crawled aboard and off they went, frog and scorpian. Half way across the deep and swift stream, in the the most treacherous point, the scorpian stung the frog! The frog, in disbelief asked "why, why, did you sting me, now we will both surely die!" The scorpian as if ssking somehow for forgiveness, said, "it is my nature." They both died.
