Professor Pille's Planetary Panopticon

Currently under advisement and endless reconstruction. Perhaps confusing yet amusing. A highly vulnerable manifestation of the internationally-regarded Mt. Palomine Institute of Mysteries and its founder, the venerable Professor Antonio Pille. Dedicated with warmest regards to the varied ghosts of Aristophanes, Rabelais, Swift, Sterne, Jarry, Mencken, Baron Munchhausen, and the gentle and honorable Robert Benchley.

Explaining Kanadia

On Your Knees Worthless Insects! Bow Before the Scarlet Leaf!
Briefly, we at the Institute have learned that the only thing every parallel universe has in common is a Kanadia, or Canada (Da Urth), or Can-doah (new place we just found) and so on. In our Erden Kanadia, citizens are called Kanadans, while on "Da Urth" the citizens of that "Canada" are called Canadians. Regardless where we turn "Der Peeper" to look at alternate universes we find the same nation, in the same place, with this same problem. Noted Linguaphysicist, G. Spencer Brown, believes that this inexplicable disjunction between the name of the country and the name of its inhabitants may be the initial semantic quantum fluctuation that causes universes to spring into existence in the first place. No universe, then, can even exist without a Kanadia.
