12. Quite contrary to uninformed popular opinion, angels (the first and highest order of creation) were not some kind of indiscriminate and

homogeneous lot or mass of super spirit creatures without comparative differences. Their intelligence, responsibility assignments, beauty,

even their individual radiance of light and strength followed divine protocols (which established rank, authority, even number of wings).

At the top of Heaven's totem pole Lucifer, Micael, Gabriel and a few other heavy hitters were positioned. At the very bottom sat Clarence.

13. And poor Clarence, having only one wing due to his low status on the Angel "team", was trying to convince Lucifer that maybe, just maybe, he'd be able to loose some of his weight and be able to fly with just the one. He did so want to be a "real" member of the team.

14. Clarence really had no way to know, during his naive chubbyhood, that "the team" would eventually split into two teams...

playing a hotly contested prehistoric chess match that would continue into human history and conclude at the end of time.

One third of all the angels volunteered to play for the new black team, led by Lucifer. Two thirds remained with the white.

15. Clarence thought to himself, "Perhaps that could possibly be the reason for his only having one wing." Because of his low status (on the bubble so to speak) neither team was sure which one he'd end up on so rather than give him full white status "they'd" only go half way.

20. And so the pirate walked the Planck in the manner of Zeno, a middle ranked Angel, or to be more specific, Zeno was an Angel of the rank exactly in the middle... between Lucifer and the half wing Clarance.

So the pirate, whose first name started with a K, walked half way the length of the Planck, paused and then walked half way the remaining length, paused again and then again walking half way the remaining length, and so on, and so on she or he continued forever never quite reaching the end and thus never suffering Lucifer's fate of falling to the Earth through Wind and Fire.

Lucky for him or her the constant Light constructed by the forman Manuel with real mu's and epsilon's was continuous and not discrete so he or she never reached the Planck Length and did not have to take that quantum leap of faith. Meanwhile God played dice while others played chess. Alea iacta est !
