    That’d make her pretty much omnipotent, wouldn’t it, Mr. Hinds?

    And thus we have the perpetual 6th grader (or whatever grade they were in last year).

    Not only do they enter the same grade, every year they’re the same age after their birthdays as they were before…

    Edith, like Kilgore Trout, is one of the few fictional characters smart enough to figure out that they’re fictional without being told.

    It’s never made explicit in the play, but I suspect that the same holds true for Hamlet.

    MrGromit Edith might be omniscient (all knowing), but i very much doubt she’d be omnipotent (all powerful) as i doubt anything or anyone is all powerful. to quote the philosopher Carlin’s paradox, “if God is all powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can’t move it?”

    by the way, Bill, i especially like the font used on the word “hindsight.” a very subtle pun, indeed! bravo.

    The answer to Carlin’s paradox is: Yes God is that powerful!

    But God doesn’t do stupid things.
