A while ago, P. told me about a computer game called ‘Portal’, in which you use a gun-like device to fire dimension-bending linked apertures onto walls in rooms of a building in order to progress through levels of increasing difficulty. His description piqued my curiosity (often not a good idea – see previous post), and yesterday I looked up a trailer on YouTube:

I think I finally have an inkling of how smokers feel in aeroplanes.
