An article about sleepwalkers who send e-mails (see <http://
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3743289/Zzz -mail-What-happens-when-sleepwalkers-go-online.html >,
aka <http://preview.tinyurl.com/6fbtjv>) contains this interesting
tidbit regarding the e-mails:
-----
Each was in a random mix of upper and lower cases, not well formatted
and written in strange language. One read: "Come tomorrow and sort
this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4.pm,. Bring wine and caviar
only."

Well, they did clean it up for the benefit of readers ;-). That said,
maybe we just didn't see the SMOOTHER side of Torgo. He's not just a
henchman... he's a LOVER! I can see it now, a BARRY WHITE song set to
video from the antics of TORGO -- or would that be wrong?

Of course, there's also the horrifying alternative that it
might be just what Torgo thinks of as caviar. You probably shouldn't
eat anything today now that you've had that thought. I apologize for
giving it out, but you think I want it?
