1	Cornhusk (floating head, narrating): The simulation was run over and over again, with the same result: A fatal crash error would occur at exactly midnight on December 21, 2012. Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): I don't get it. The equipment is running just fine and we're using an exact duplicate of the Universe 1.3 source code.	Topeka Prime Complex (Cowputer Labs)	Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
2	Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): Check this out. The actual cause of the crash changes each time. Which you'd expect, due to the bubbles in the quantum foam. Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): Of course.	Topeka Prime Complex (Cowputer Labs)	Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
3	Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): But the time of the crash is exactly the same in every simulation, down to the yoctosecond. Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): Creepy.	Topeka Prime Complex (Cowputer Labs)	Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
4	Man (Code-Monk, Topekan): Yeah. Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): So how much time does the real universe have left?	Topeka Prime Complex (Cowputer Labs)	Cow (Cowputer, Ursula)
5	Man (Code-Monk, looking at watch, Topekan): A little more than two hundred years. Man (Code-Monk, Topekan, Wearing glasses): That soon? Looks like you are going to die a virgin.	Topeka Prime Complex (Cowputer Labs)	Cow (Cowputer, Ursula) Watch
