[We rejoin the Valiant Defenders of the Faith as they trundle
down the road in their PubeVan on their way to the hideout
of the Evil Atheists on the Isthmus of Scientia.  They are
almost there, and Ferret Boy is getting nervous.  He absent-
mindedly fiddles with some knobs on the dashboard.]

Ferret Boy : You wouldn't?  But Publius, we've spent almost an
             entire day driving all the way over here to hack 
             the Evil Atheists and now you're not going to spend
             even two minutes at it?

Ferret Boy : But we'll save our nation, won't we, Publius?  What
             is our plan for hacking the Atheists when we get
             to their hideout?

Ferret Boy : Not if we can get to them first!  [smacks fist into

Ferret Boy : Er, I don't know, why should they?

Ferret Boy : Oh, I don't know, some of these material comforts 
             are pretty nice.  [lounges back in his padded leather

Ferret Boy : Some of them are pretty distinguishable, though.  Did
             you see that one with the really long hair?

Ferret Boy : That's right.  Tomorrow they die.  Right, Publius?
             We'll show 'em what for!

Ferret Boy : But it's going to look much better after tomorrow!  
             We'll hit the Evil Atheists <hack, hack, cough, spit!>
             right where it hurts!  They won't know what hit 'em!

[Will the Dynamic Duo actually find the Evil Atheists where they
think?  What will happen if they do?  And can the PubeVan play
anything other than Stryper?  Tune in next time and see!]
