I already brought up the Son of Sam serial killer, who got his marching
orders from his neighbor's doberman pinscher, so that qualifies as both
insane and hallucinatory. But who am I to argue with a guard dog? That's
just a case of djuno where x4 is a belief system shared by a looney and a
mutt. It's not "objective", it didn't stand up in court, and I don't buy
it myself, but he experienced those conversations with that dog.

with him, and added, that God had created cattle, since beef soups
strengthen man; that he created the donkey, so that it might give
man something with which to compare himself; and he had created
man, to eat beef soup and not be a donkey.
