What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you're hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.

Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place.
