Yup, she's one of my best friends! It's very funny to both of us.

Oh, yeah, some Masterminds questions!

1. Why did Mrs. & Mr. Delaney split? Where did Mrs. Delaney go?

2. What happened to the scientists?

Hi, Jade,

Your MASTERMINDS questions:

Mrs. Delaney came late to the town when she married a Purple. She soon discovered what was being done to the kids, helped them as much as she could, and got the heck out. She could have gone anywhere -- it's a big free world out there if you're not working for Felix Hammerstrom.

After the big ending (you remember Felix being squashed by a squid (Octopus?) right? -- some of the scientists may have been arrested, and some would have disappeared into the same big world that Mrs. Delaney found. I'd hate to be the lawyer who had to make a case against them. Although I don't think cloning humans is legal.

OK? ---G---

I thought it was a manta-ray. I could be wrong. Was Steve arrested? And I don't think cloning humans is illegal.

Ah yes, a big manta ray. I don't think Steve would be arrested. His "daughter" wouldn't have filed a complaint against him. She really did love her "parents."

And yes, cloning humans is absolutely 100% illegal. It's also immoral, and may even be fattening! ---G---

It's glad to know Steve is still out there. Tori loved him! I'd still call them her parents! They raised her up and they raised her well even if it was for the wrong reason. It is illegal, unfortunately. I do see why, do you think it would count as bio-technological engineering?

Be blessed and have a wonderful thanksgiving,
