Nah... there are no weird people on this list. Right? Some weird
people may think us weird, and some of us in moments of disagreement
may think one another weird, but we all know that, as Alice
discovered, all is not always as it appears. Slightly eccentric
perhaps, not sane by the standards set by the common loonies of the
world, and perhaps a little mad. However, we're not weird. :-)

While we're on this topic, are the souls of clones new or could some
of them have been reincarnated?

That must have been a wonderful experience!

Yes... and somehow I think there's more to it that science can
explain... as Iggy's often mentioning the metaphysical, perhaps this
example will make more sense to him.
