This man, dressed in flowing robes shouts about something called ``God.'' I will find out when he is calmer, what that means. There's this other man more active than the others, who didn't have time to stop and speak with me, and a third who has little to say.
Truely, earth is a strange place.
Surely, I must have missed an important breifing before my mission here.
