Once upon a time I found myself surrounded by N-manifolds inside
a 68-dimensional complex-valued vector space. A very scary
experience, particularly as I was driving my car at the time.

I had been thinking about some problem for some time, and was
driving home from work. It was rush hours, and I needed to turn
left, off the road I was driving on, crossing the opposing lane
where there was a long queue of cars. So I had to stop and wait
for a gap in the opposing queue.

As my car came to a stop, I all of a sudden saw, for my inner
eye, the solution of the problem I had been thinking about.
I don't know for how long I was inside that vector space, it
could have been .1 second, or it could have been 2 seconds.

Scary, nonetheless, as it was as real as those green goblins
I saw in that Italian supermarket... again, nothing to do
with intoxication. The goblins were hallusinations caused by
three weeks with only 4 hrs shut-eye per night.

Oh well.

Rune

BTW, that's just my subtle, twisted way of wishing you a Happy Birthday. ;)
