Chapter 8
“And besides, Harry had a little help in noticing that things had changed,
2“Because right after he was born,
3“In Philadelphia,
4“He and his mom got visited at the hospital,
5a“By three physicists from a place called bPrinceton,
6Who spoke to Harry’s mom in thick cKraut accents,
7“Saying, ‘We have come to see the first child born into the new world we have created; for we are afraid that nothing will be the same again, and he will live in a different world from the one we knew.’
8“And then they gave him gifts: a dBible, a eGeiger counter, and a fcyanide capsule,
9“Signifying their terrible fear that the entire planet had suddenly become a ghot potato,
10“Which nobody could do anything about.”
