    Most people mean something different when they say “I’d tap that”.

    It says twin sagas but they both look rather uplifted and perky.

    The oddly-familiar red guy is himself apparently sculpted. Is there an infinite regression of increasingly goofy-looking Pygmaliens?

    3rd instead of third?

    Q: What is a “fireburst conclusion”?
    A: When a detective solves a case inside a burning fireworks factory.

    Q: But what are “twin sagas”?
    A: Everyday editorial stupidity.

    ‘Twin Saga’ could mean a saga about twins gets a sequel or prequel. Like the Star Wars trilogy, or Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Or, heaven forfend, 80s Australian soap ‘Sons and Daughters’.

    Sculpting your book cover is probably overdoing it, though I admire the effort.

    The Juxta-Position—one of the most difficult poses described in the Kosmic Sutra. Adepts have spent their entire lives trying to attain it. Its “fireburst conclusion” is supposedly so intense that one partner turns to stone and the other’s head turns into a beehive.

    I wonder how difficult it is to actually split an infinity? 😉

    @B.Chiclitz: it might be very easy to do but impossible to tell if you’ve succeeded.

    @B. Chiclitz: Well, consider if you will the set of all whole numbers. That’s infinite. Now, consider if you will the set of whole, positive numbers. There you be, an infinity split right down the middle.

    That will be £1.

    @DSWBT—well, I only deal in bitcoins, so let me know how to get that to you.

    Actually, you give me to much credit, thinking there was a level of depth to my question. Indeed it was completely superficial and dumb. I was trying to play on the term “split infinitive,” and put in a split infinitive as my “joke.” This is why it is dangerous for amateurs to attempt comedy. Your good will, and GSS camaraderie, do not go unappreciated.

    The other titles in the series are:
    IM-POSITION
    POLE POSITION
    and, this being Piers Anthony, there has to be a title like
    XANTHUM SUPER-POSITION

    I applied for a juxta position, but I was unqu-alified.
