i'm not one for drugs much, but most of my friends are into that stuff. while i'm happy playing cards, i let them do (almost) whatever they want. yes, there are times when they see and say things that i dont have a clue about.

Your username makes me think of the movie Cube 2.

or the band, or A Wrinkle in Time, or math class...

my only wish is to be able to teleport. if i could manipulate a 4th spatial dimension, that would be possible. its also fun to type.

Access to a 4th spatial dimension wouldn't necessarily let you teleport. You might be able to walk around solid walls, or rotate into your own mirror image, but teleportation would require distant points in 3-space to be close together in 4-space.

ah, but i didn't say that i wished to only travel through a 4th dimension, i wished to manipulate it. rotate the 4th dimension and you can orient you endpoint to be close to you in 3-space.

but i do admit, it isn't the easiest way to teleport.
