Excuse me, but Time::Cubic is no joke. It is a testament to the great
Gene Ray, and the message he has brought us from the year 2051. If
you decide not to heed this message, and instead follow a queer jewish
god, then you are truly evil.

Also, your JAPH clearly marks you as being enslaved by Word. A queer
jewish god.
