I can feel my lower middle teeth moving. Not that I can move them, mind you, but I can tell that something's going on in there. I still don't understand how it works, but it's working.

And I just had the slightly-stoned-type thought: if the planet were sentient, I wonder if this is what plate tectonics would feel like.

Now I want to write a book where someone describes some sort of very-large-scale industrial terraforming as planetary orthodontia.

I bequeath you my dizzy ramblings!

Wait, I do whatever it is that's like bequeathing something, only you don't have to die first.

Giving?

[fox]

Sure, if you want to be pedestrian about it. I was sure there was a fancier word. Donate? Endow? Grant, probably. Bah.

I love this!

If the planet were sentient, I'll bet we would itch!
