ge. And if you'd like to take it up a notch and join the dimension of people vibrating just right, all you need is a copper mug or a glass. Hold on, let me take it from the top. All you need is a copper mug or a glass or a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled

Well I was telling the people on the Locals platform before you joined here on YouTube and Spotify that, well first of all I saw a news story that drinking three cups of coffee will make you live longer. I haven't read it but since the headline agrees with me, good enough. That's the way I evaluate studies. If you're trying to figure out which scientific studies to trust, here's a good tip: trust the ones that confirm your suspicions and reject everything else. That's how I do it. It's called science.
Well what I was going to talk about is I wrote a book back in 2004, at least that's when it was published. There was a prequel to my book *God's Debris*. Now some of you are saying, "Oh my favorite topic," and others of you are saying, "God's Debris? That's a weird book. I never knew a cartoonist wrote a book named that."

I don't remember why. Maybe I didn't promote it or something. And I called it a sequel but it was actually a prequel. And I hadn't read it for 15 years myself. So when Erica so nicely sent me a copy of my own book because I didn't have a copy, I wanted to look at it but I didn't have a copy, and so Erica sent me a copy of my own book and I started reading it yesterday. And it is way, way stronger than it

was in 2004. And the reason is that it held a number of predictions about what was going to happen, and the predictions are close enough to reality that it's going to freak you out. It freaked me out just reading it because I didn't remember all the things I'd written. And as I read it I thought, "Oh jeez, its relevance just increased." So I might read it. I don't know. I have the digital rights t…
