Snakes are so cool.

And idleness is a wonderful thing. To answer your question on the last page, it'll take about 84 weeks, or 1.5 years, for the podcasts to catch up to the blog, assuming a steady rate of seven blog pages per week and eleven podcast pages per week, and a current total of 340 blog pages awaiting conversion to podcasts.

That's just a rough calculation of course: to be more precise there would have to be a lot of numbers after the decimal place :P Now you have to keep going at that rate to see if my calculations are correct!

That's not a friendly smile, here is hoping that the boy is going to be ok.

He is the evil Carnie master/leader, Professor Screweyes, from "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story" He has a machine that identifies childrens worst fears and he can then manifest them.

imagine if the kid was evil and he chopped off the head of the snake.. would the brother in essence then die and the snake be stuck int he brothers body for ever?

Cat -
Good one. Duh...I was thinking it would be some big algebraic formula, and then you basically just figure 4 extra pages a week. 340 divided by 4...good one, Cat. My math skills need some polishing up.

Daymon34 -
By 'ok,' do you just mean physically, or emotionally, too?

AnakMoon -
Ahhh. Never heard of that - is it good? The villain sounds creepy, at least, with a good weapon.

I think that, since it would take several seconds for the snake to actually die, Eng could easily switch consciousnesses back in time. Now, say the snake was incinterated by a bomb in the blink of an eye...not so sure about that one. Maybe the death of the snake's body would immediately release Eng's 'soul,' and he could just fly back into his normal body and displace the snake's consciousness. Little snake angel, flying through the air!

Eng's gift is not an effortless thing, nor even a condition with an 'on/off' switch that only requires effort when changing from one state to the other. Eng has to concentrate at the task. It might not be any more strain than you would put forth in holding a glass all day, but you DO have to keep at least a minimal consciousness of the glass in your hand at all times.

Well physically is a start, both would be prefered though.
