DAY 1 MATH:
The teacher is starting the math lesson. Today,
the class is going over multiplication. Jimmy
already knows all of the times tables, so he's bored.
Blob:
Jimmy thinks it would be fun to do a little multiplication
of his own. He divides his slime into two different
Jimmies, then plops the other Jimmy into the empty
desk next to him.
The other Jimmy can't talk or move. That's because
Jimmy's brain can only belong to Jimmy. So, the
other Jimmy just kind of oozes through the slats in
the back of the seat.
Jimmy quickly gathers up the slime and pushes it
back into his body. He feels a bit scummier now,
and there's a piece of gum stuck to his cheek, but
he's otherwise fine.
He was really looking forward to freaking people out
with his cool prank, but looks like he didn't think it
through all the way.
Goon:
Jimmy pops the collar on his leather jacket and starts
to take a snooze. The chair leans back a bit,
then tumps over. All the kids have a nice chuckle,
so he makes a mental note to beat them up later.
Let's see, that's five rows, each with six children,
minus the two kids with glasses and the shy girl in
the corner...
Flower:
Jimmy decides to pay attention anyway. He might
not know everything about multiplication yet, so he
diligently does all of the problems.
He's not seeing anything new, but...hey! Every
time he multiplies increasing numbers by nine, the
last number decreases by one! That pattern helps
him work even faster!
Bird:
Jimmy decides to turn the problems into a race. He
burns through as many problems as he can in five
minutes, then he tries to beat that. After a while,
he looks up and class is almost over.
There are six pages of work done. Wow! He
won't have to do any math homework for the next
week!
Bear:
Jimmy doesn't have time for this garbage. He
starts breaking pencils instead. He snaps his first
pencil in half. Hey. Now he has two pencils.
He snaps each of those in half. Wow, now he has
four pencils. This is a really great way to get more
pencils. He uses his great bear strength to snap
those in half. Now he's got eight.
He should start a company that sells pencils.
Pumpkin:
Math is beneath Jimmy, anyway. He floats out of
his seat and possesses the boy next to him. Let's
see what he's done. Oh, wow! This guy thinks
that six times seven is forty-four.
Jimmy was going to change all of his answers into
wrong answers, but it looks like this boy beat him
to it.
Now he feels kind of bad, so he does half of the
problems for him, making sure to show his work.
Vampire:
Jimmy can't concentrate on math; he's too busy
thinking about drinking some precious blood. He
thinks it would be pretty sweet to bite his teacher
and drink all of her blood.
But, well, he can't do that. If he did, then she'd
become a vampire, and it would take, what, the
blood from three kids before she was full?
Three becomes nine, nine becomes twenty-seven,
twenty-seven becomes eighty-one; the next thing
you know, it's just a vampire school. These things
tend to spiral out of control.
DAY 1 SOCIAL STUDIES:
The teacher is starting the social studies lesson.
Today, the class is going over state capitals.
Blob:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Juneau.
If he walked outside for too long, he would probably
end up frozen solid.
Jimmy could mold his body into a cool shape first,
then he would be like a statue. He could freeze
himself into the shape of a butt, and then people
would have to look at him. That would be funny.
Goon:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Carson City.
He could strike it rich at cards. He's already got a
foolproof system. Whenever someone is playing
cards, he could just pick their pockets.
Then, he would dump all of that money into slots and
strike it big. If Jimmy were a millionaire, he'd
spend all the money on the best stuff.
He would buy two TVs so he could watch cartoons and
play video games at the same time. If his mom
asked him where he got the money, he would tell
her to go stuff it.
He'd hide the rest of his money under his mattress and
one day he would use it to become king of the
world.
Flower:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Santa Fe.
It would be really hot and dry. His petals would
definitely wilt. But, he knows that the people there
would be nice.
They would probably water him and it would be
warm and sunny. He'd grow strong and make
lots of friends.
Bird:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Boston.
It would be busy, busy, busy. He'd get to run
around all day and be crazy, and no one would
notice.
He could drink two pots of coffee and run so fast
he could make time go backwards. He'd run and
run until there were dinosaurs again.
Bear:
Jimmy gets tired, so he takes a nap. He dreams
about what it would be like to live in Austin. He
would eat racks and racks of ribs.
He'd probably eat so much, he would take a nap right
in a puddle of barbecue sauce. His fur would be
sticky and matted, but he'd blend in just fine. Maybe
later, he'd start a band.
Pumpkin:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Des Moines.
He wouldn't be much for the city, so he'd move out
to the country and find a good cornfield to haunt.
Every night, he'd come out and spook people driving
alone. Maybe he could convince a group of strange
orphan children to worship him. They would live
in the corn together and perform rituals.
Vampire:
Jimmy imagines what life would be like in Honolulu.
It would be terrible. He'd be pressured to go to the
beach all of the time. He'd never be able to get
rid of his sunburn.
Everyone around him would be happy, and that
would make him more miserable. He'd try to
bite into a coconut and suck out the sweet milk, but
he'd probably just break his teeth.
He doesn't even want to think of the dentist's bill.
DAY 2 SCIENCE:
The teacher is starting the science lesson. Today,
the class is learning about plants.
Blob:
The teacher is talking about how chlorophyll makes
plants green. Jimmy wonders if he's filled with
chlorophyll, too. Hey! Maybe Jimmy's actually
a plant!
Well, that wouldn't make sense. Instead of
absorbing water, it just bounces off of Jimmy.
And sunlight just makes him fart. One day, maybe
scientists will be able to classify Jimmy.
Goon:
Jimmy can learn about plants some other time.
Instead, he looks out the window. There's a
well-manicured green bush outside. Later, maybe
he'll shove a kid into it.
Hey, what if it were poisonous? Then the kid would
probably get a sick rash. That'd be awesome.
But, how can you tell which plants are poisonous and
which aren't?
Jimmy starts listening to the lecture more intently.
Flower:
Jimmy is more interested in anything than he's ever
been before. He listens and listens and listens,
and before long he finds himself daydreaming
about all of the other wonderful plants.
Bird:
Jimmy doesn't really care much about plants, but he
knows this will be on a test, so he tries to stay still
and listen. Halfway through the lecture, he thinks
about what it would be like to squawk.
He imagines that it would feel really, really good.
No, no, it would just be a squawk. It would just
be loud and make him embarrassed. But, then
again...it would feel good...
Jimmy's wing is flapping a little rhythm on his desk.
His feet scratch circles on the ground. He can
feel it bubbling up...
Squawk!
...Everyone looks at him for a moment, then the
teacher continues.
Bear:
All of this talk about plants is making Jimmy hungry.
He smashes his paw through a nearby window and
pulls some leaves off of a hanging branch and starts
munching on them.
Everyone in class is glaring at him. Screw them.
If they want some, they can reach out the window
and get some themselves.
Pumpkin:
The teacher holds up a sycamore leaf and starts
talking about it. This gives Jimmy an idea. He
snaps his fingers, and the leaf ignites into flames.
The teacher fumbles it from hand to hand, then it
tumbles to the ground and she stomps on it.
She calms herself down and reaches for her next
sample: an oak leaf.
Jimmy readies himself for round two...
Vampire:
Jimmy is mostly bored, but when the teacher starts
talking about tropical trees, his pointed ears perk
up. A nice mahogany would make a lovely casket.
He could line it with red velvet and sleep so well
during the day. Jimmy makes a mental note to
transform into a lumberjack later.
DAY 2 ART:
The teacher is starting the art lesson. Today,
everyone gets to draw whatever they want.
Blob:
Jimmy knocks the pencils aside and goes straight for
the paints. He mashes his slime into the different
paint cans and smears it together on his palette.
This is going to be a masterpiece.
He flings his paint-drenched body onto the
construction paper. Brownish paint streaks the
ground around the picture. The painting itself is
absolutely dripping.
Jimmy hangs it up to dry while the other students
stare, wide-eyed, at the mess.
Goon:
Jimmy's really mad inside, so he tries his best to
draw his rage. He starts in the middle of the page
and scribbles with his pencil, making wider and
wider movements, until the page is mostly black.
He feels a little better, but his pencil's been worn
down to a nub, so he flicks it at some nerd and
decides to take a break for the rest of the class.
Flower:
Jimmy draws a nice little house in a big, green field.
Then he draws himself, growing tall and proud from
the ground. He thinks that the lonely flower could
use a family, so he draws four more flowers.
The first flower is a tall, skinny one with glasses.
And there's a big, hefty yellow flower right next to
it. The other two are a pretty blue flower and a
huge flower wearing a black hat.
...Jimmy feels kind of sad all of a sudden. Maybe
he'll draw more later.
Bird:
Jimmy's got lots of ideas swimming around in his
head, but he decides to settle on drawing a boat.
So, he draws a nice, comfortable tugboat. Actually,
scratch that. It's a yacht.
Make that a battleship. With big cannons all around
it. And there are some airplanes flying overhead.
And a shark peeking out of the water. And it's
fighting a tank. And a UFO. And a, and a...
Bear:
Jimmy just kung fu chops the art supplies with his
enormous bear strength, sending the pencils and
paint flying everywhere. The table underneath
collapses from the force.
The teacher clears her throat and says something
about outsider art, but Jimmy is already curling up
for a nice nap.
Pumpkin:
Jimmy tries to pick up a pencil, but it phases through
his hand. He hates when that happens. He
concentrates really hard and starts to draw, but the
best he can do is some stick figures.
Frustrated, he singes the paper and watches the
flames turn his picture to ash.
Vampire:
Jimmy draws a nice picture of the grim reaper. He
is slashing his scythe through a swath of children,
severing their heads. His right hand is reaching into
a little boy's chest and pulling out his soul.
Jimmy hands his drawing in, and the teacher
doesn't know what to say. She's so taken in by
Jimmy's artistic talent that a lily-white sheen of
pure amazement has gripped her face.
DAY 3 MATH:
The teacher is starting the math lesson. Today,
the class is going over fractions. Jimmy already
knows how fractions work, so he's bored.
Blob:
Jimmy splits himself into four different pieces.
One-fourth of a Jimmy slides off his desk and plops
onto the ground, leaving seventy-five percent of
Jimmy left on top of the desk.
Jimmy gathers up the slime on the desk; now he
is only three-fourths as large as he used to be.
Then he morphs into a trampoline and lets some
kids jump on him.
The teacher is not amused. Everyone but Jimmy
settles back down and goes back to taking notes.
Goon:
Jimmy plans to devote half of his class time
pretending to pay attention. The other half, he
slips his hand into the pocket of a nearby student.
Hey! He doesn't have any money! Well, I guess
they're kids, after all.
Flower:
Jimmy decides to pay close attention, anyway, in
the hopes that he'll learn something new. Yes...
mhmm...Of course! Excellent! Yes, he already
knows all of this.
Well, at the very least, the teacher might have
noticed how hard he was working, and that makes
Jimmy happy.
Bird:
Jimmy is trying his best to listen, but then he hears
the word "numerator." Numerator. It's fun to
say fast. Numerator. Numerator. Numerator,
numerator, numerator.
Numeratornumeratornumeratornumerator...
Jimmy kind of lost his train of thought. He shifts
his focus back to his teacher and tries to pay
attention again.
Hmm, what's that? Denominator. Oh boy.
That one's even better...
Bear:
Man. The teacher won't shut up about fractions.
All this talk is making him want to pop open her
skull and divide her brain in two.
Instead, he just lets himself drift into a nice little
nap, his teacher's words becoming a smooth, hypnotic
drone. The numbers swirl and slur together in
Jimmy's head.
He dreams of living numbers working together to
find a common denominator. It's the most boring
dream he's ever had.
Pumpkin:
As the teacher is discussing how to add fractions,
Jimmy turns invisible, hovers toward her, and
possesses her. He begins to teach the students
incorrectly as a joke.
As he's writing out the problem on the blackboard,
he gets distracted by the numbers, and,
accidentally, he ends up solving them the right
way.
Hmm. Well, it's not as funny, but he kind of feels
like a good teacher.
Vampire:
As an immortal lord of the dead, Jimmy has no need
to worry about such trivial things as fractions.
So, he gathers energy above him and explodes it
into a cacophony of screeching bats.
About one-third of the bats circle around the
ceiling as the children below scream in terror.
One-sixth of the bats dive bomb the teacher, who's
ineffectually swatting at them as she runs for the door.
The remaining half of the bats have already flown
through the open door and are now blanketing the
school in a shrieking black death cloud.
Jimmy cackles to himself and kicks his feet up on the
desk in front of him.
DAY 3 SOCIAL STUDIES:
The teacher is starting the social studies lesson.
Today, the class is learning about the presidents
of the United States of America.
Blob:
For some reason, Jimmy is really interested in
Howard Taft. He doesn't know anything about
his presidency, nor does he care. Taft just
reminds him of himself.
Goon:
Jimmy doesn't care about the presidents at all. He
wishes he were a part of a country without someone
who told him what to do. This country would be
called...Jimmyland.
The only law would be "Do whatever you want."
Actually, there'd be one more law: "Don't piss off
Jimmy." This is an important rule, because
Jimmy really doesn't want to be pissed off.
He'd make this rule once he became supreme
ruler of Jimmyland. Maybe he'd make other
rules, too, like "Give Jimmy lots of free stuff."
Jimmyland sure would be awesome.
Flower:
Jimmy tries his best to memorize every president.
He wonders if this is going to be on a test. Just
in case, he starts to come up with a song to help
him remember.
George Washington is first
and...umm...then comes Adams...
Okay, the lyrics need a little work.
Bird:
When the teacher mentions James Garfield, Jimmy
is immediately impressed. Wow. He finished
his presidency in record time! What an
impressive guy!
Bear:
Jimmy's considering smashing up his desk and going
on an old-fashioned rampage, but then the teacher
starts talking about Theodore Roosevelt.
Apparently, the teddy bear was named after him.
Jimmy imagines the soft, huggable little guys, and
feels his heart begin to melt. Urk! No! Must...
harness...endless...rage...
Jimmy flips his desk over and runs through the
wall, leaving a Jimmy-shaped hole behind him.
He knocks down some drawings push-pinned to a
cork board and rips a water fountain from the wall.
Whew. That's better.
Pumpkin:
Jimmy thinks it's pointless to learn about the
presidents in school, so he travels to the astral
plane and tries to find them himself.
He runs into someone and asks if he's George
Washington.
"No," the man replies, "I'm Thomas Jefferson."
Jimmy just shakes his head and hovers back to
class. Not even George Washington. What a
disappointment.
Vampire:
Jimmy is impressed at the number of presidents who
are dead. With a little necromancy, he might be
able to conjure his own army of dead presidents.
Then, he could appoint one of them in charge at
random, and then watch them argue about it for
hours and hours. Hmm. Maybe he should look
elsewhere for his zombie army.
DAY 4 SCIENCE:
The teacher is starting the science lesson. Today,
the class is going over the solar system.
Blob:
On Venus, it gets so hot that Jimmy's slimy body
would liquify and evaporate before it reached the
surface of the planet.
Jimmy imagines himself as a boiling hot green
meteor streaking through the sky. If only there
were buildings, maybe he could keep himself
together long enough to really smash one good.
Goon:
Jimmy doesn't care much about the planets, so he
imagines them all as billiard balls in a gigantic
game of space pool instead.
He'd whack the big planet with one of those long,
wooden sticks, and that would totally wreck
anything it slammed into. Hmm. Maybe he
should actually learn the rules of pool.
Flower:
On Mars, lifeless red dust dominates the landscape
as far as the eye can see. The lack of any
greenery makes Jimmy feel sad.
As it turns out, the only planet that has any
vegetation at all is Earth. Jimmy feels small
and alone all of a sudden. But, he also feels
like he's part of something very special.
He smiles to himself and listens to the rest of the
lecture.
Bird:
If Jimmy were in space, there would be no wind
resistance. Flapping his wings would just make
him spin in circles instead of propelling him forward.
He'd just flap-flap-flap-flap and not get anywhere.
Lost in his thoughts, Jimmy didn't realize that he
had been flapping his wings throughout the lecture.
He's now hovering a foot off his desk, and loose
papers are flying in every direction around him.
Bear:
Jupiter has the most gravity of all of the planets.
That's because Jupiter is the biggest. Jimmy sizes
himself up. He's got to have the highest gravity
here.
He sets his pencil down in front of him and tries
super hard to pull it towards him using his gravity.
It doesn't budge.
Hmm. He'll have to maul his teacher and five
other students in order to have the most gravity
in the room. Then he can finally harnass the
secret power of gravity.
Pumpkin:
The sun is an enormous, self-fueled fireball. Jimmy
is immediately interested. One day, the sun will
expand into a red giant and eclipse Earth, boiling
all of the oceans and incinerating the planet.
Cool.
Vampire:
Jimmy doesn't need to breathe, so he imagines that
he'd be just fine in outer space. He could build
a house on an asteroid and float around forever.
Of course, there aren't any humans in space, which means
no blood for Jimmy. He'd have to bring some
snacks with him at the very least...just to tide
him over until he reached a new solar system.
DAY 4 MUSIC:
The teacher is starting the music lesson. Today,
the class gets to play whatever instrument they
want.
Blob:
Jimmy wants to find the most obnoxious instrument,
so he decides to play all of them. He starts with
a trumpet and blows it so hard that green mucus
sprays all over the class.
As they're trying to wipe it off, Jimmy grabs a
tamborine and bangs it against the side of his
body. Instead of it making a sound, it just kind
of suspends inside of him like fruit in a jello mold.
He pulls the greasy tamborine out of his body and sets
it on the table, then he reaches for a guitar. His
teacher pulls it away from him. "That's enough for
today," she says.
Goon:
Jimmy plans on becoming a big-time rock-and-roll
superstar, so he pushes some kid out of the way
and grabs the guitar. That's right. It's time
for Jimmy to wail out a rad solo.
His fingers fly across the fretboard, but instead of
a rad solo, it just sounds like a bunch of random
clicking across the muted strings. Man. This
is hard and stupid.
Jimmy gives up before more people realize he's
not a rock god.
Flower:
Jimmy knows that the best way to learn is to start
from the bottom, so he picks up a recorder. Toot,
toot, toot! It doesn't sound very good. Jimmy
knows that. But, practice makes perfect!
Jimmy dutifully plays a scale up and down until he
gets the hang of it. He's working on figuring out
the notes to "Mary Had a Little Lamb," but he runs
out of time.
That's fine! He knows that next time, he'll learn
and get even better.
Bird:
Jimmy rushes ahead of all of the other students and
goes straight for the drums. He doesn't have a
keen sense of rhythm, but that's okay, because the
key to playing drums is being really loud.
Jimmy bangs on a snare drum as loud as he can.
The kids are holding their ears, but Jimmy knows
he can do better. He knows he can go even louder.
He starts hitting the drum as hard and as fast as
he can. Soon, he's moving to other instruments,
hitting baritones, trumpets, and saxophones with
the sticks, making all sorts of fun clanging sounds.
The teacher is saying something. It looks like
"stop," but Jimmy isn't sure, as he can't hear her
over his righteous drum solo.
Bear:
Jimmy is trying to take a nice nap, but all of the
other students are playing musical instruments.
He growls for them to stop, but they don't hear him.
They just keep making horrible noise.
Jimmy can't take it anymore. He flips his desk over,
grabs a flute from a nearby girl, and snaps it over his
knee. Then he punches a hole in a timpani and
chomps down on a banjo, shattering it.
The teacher, shaking, grabs a nearby guitar and
starts playing a lullaby. Hmm. That's kind of
nice, actually. Jimmy lays down and closes his
eyes.
Pumpkin:
Jimmy hovers over to a theramin and waves his
hand around. It's making a nice, spooky sound.
For fun, Jimmy makes himself invisible, but he
keeps playing.
The other children have stopped playing around
with their instruments. They're looking directly
at the theramin, shivering. Then, the teacher
unplugs it, and the sound stops.
Hmm. Jimmy will have to find a creepy acoustic
instrument to play in the future.
Vampire:
Jimmy picks up a violin. He begins playing a
somber tune that reminds him of his homeland
of Transylvania. Come to think of it, he's not
sure how he knows how to play violin.
He also hasn't actually been to Transylvania.
The other students are holding their ears. It's at
this time that Jimmy realizes that he's just kind of
making high-pitched squeaking noises.
He sets the violin back down and creeps back to
his seat, hoping no one saw him.
DAY 4 MATH:
The teacher is starting the math lesson. Today,
the class is going over measurements. Jimmy
already knows all this stuff, so he's bored.
Blob:
Jimmy is interested in exactly what his volume might
be. He squirms out of his seat and crawls to
the teacher's desk, carefully so as to not alert her.
Then he hops up and into a two-liter flask.
Only part of his body fits, though. He pushes
himself into the flask harder, kicking against the
desk, knocking various flasks and beakers to the
ground.
The class is laughing, and the teacher tells Jimmy
to go back to his desk. Jimmy sits back down,
but it's hard to see things when his head is mostly
squeezed into a flask.
Goon:
Jimmy measures his bicep, then flexes. Hurk!
Not enough to rip the measuring tape. He's going
to have to get a good workout in, so he grabs
a kid by the collar and lifts him up with one hand.
Later, he gets the kid to write down all the answers
for him on his English homework.
Flower:
Jimmy tries his best to pay attention, anyway. He
works through converting between standard and
metric. He's gotten a lot faster at doing it in his
head.
That could really come in handy if he took a trip
to Europe!
Bird:
Jimmy places a mark on the ground, then he runs
up to it and jumps as far as he can, then gets
another student to mark where he landed.
He can do better. He sprints as hard as he can,
then jumps once he hits his mark. He sails
through the air and has to turn his head to see
his old record.
He's so preoccupied that he doesn't realize he's flown
over the teacher's desk and directly into the
blackboard. He peels himself off the ground and
coughs up a cloud of chalk.
Whew. Let's see anyone break THAT record.
Bear:
Jimmy weighs himself. What? That's not nearly
enough. Jimmy's much beefier than that. The
scale must be broken. Jimmy slams down on it,
and the digital display cracks.
There, that's better. The scale isn't even sturdy
enough to display Jimmy's true weight.
Pumpkin:
Jimmy looks at the thermostat. He wonders how
hot he can make it. Instead of forming a fireball
in his hand, he just releases a constant flow of
invisible heat.
The mercury rises slowly. 85 degrees. 95
degrees. 105 degrees. The students are
sweating.
The teacher wipes her forehead with the back of her
hand and continues writing on the blackboard. Her
hair is sticking to her face. The display on the
thermostat begins to melt.
Hmm. Jimmy supposes that he can't measure it
anymore, so he stops.
Vampire:
Jimmy wonders how many ounces of blood are in
the human body. There's only one way to find
out, but then he would have to spit the blood into
a beaker, which wouldn't be satisfying.
Then, you'd have to consider the mass of each
victim. Do larger people contain more blood?
Are they directly proportional? This would require
an extensive amount of research.
DAY 5 SOCIAL STUDIES:
The teacher is starting the social studies lesson.
Today, the class is going over topography.
Blob:
Jimmy imagines what life in a swamp would be like.
He could eat as many frogs as he likes and sleep
every night in a big pool of slime!
The mosquitoes would be pretty annoying, but, then
again, does Jimmy even have blood?
Goon:
Jimmy doesn't care about rivers and mountains and
the rest of that nature crap. He's a city guy.
He just wants to steal a sweet motorcycle and ride
around town. Maybe start a gang.
He thinks he should ask Punch for some pointers
later.
Flower:
Jimmy imagines what it would be like to live in a
forest. There would be trees and ponds and
flowers all around him.
Maybe a bunny rabbit would hop next to him and
nibble on some nearby vegetation. It would be
pretty nice, but there wouldn't be many people
around, so Jimmy is happy right where he is.
Bird:
Jimmy wonders what it would be like to climb a
mountain. He would probably set the record for
the fastest climb.
When he reached the peak, he would squawk the
proudest squawk he ever squawked.
Bear:
Jimmy wishes he could move back to the forest. He
could sleep for months in a nice, cool cave. When
he woke up, he could eat lots of salmon. Nobody
would bother him.
He finds himself drifting off to sleep. In his
dream, he's sitting in a classroom while some
annoying lady is talking about maps. Oh, wait.
He's still awake.
Jimmy feels cheated and kind of pissed.
Pumpkin:
As Jimmy looks at the oceans covering most of the
planet's surface, the candle inside of his head begins
to flicker. All that water could extinguish his
flame just like that.
Most of the world is a death trap. Jimmy feels a
little scared. In order to feel in control again,
Jimmy ignites the ponytail of the girl in front of him.
He wonders how long it will take her to realize her
hair is--oh, there she goes.
Vampire:
Jimmy imagines himself floating down a nice, moonlit
river. Actually, scratch that. Instead of a normal
river, it's a river of blood. That's much more
relaxing.
Imagination is great. With imagination, you can
make anything better.
