My 16-year-old daughter is presently salivating over this entry. She is enamoured with Lovecraft and, yeah, she's a bit of a necromancer.

(I just did a video of her introducing Lovecraft to August Derleth the other day. Long story.)

That's pretty amazing. I always though Ry'leh would be a good name for a kid.

This is a truly excellent post, as are all the Science Corners. I'm hoping that on December 22 or 23 (whichever, really), 2012 that I'm holding in my hands a copy of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, for just in case purposes. Or, maybe Grant Morrison's The Invisibles, you know, in case we all get sucked into the supercontext.
