That sounds vaguely familiar, so I think that it does have it. If not, it has to be at least mentioned in the footnotes. In fact, I think it might be one of the first pages of the alternate-universe section? The footnotes in Ms. Padua's book are _AMAZING_. More entertaining than the book itself at times. I have never enjoyed reading footnotes so much. That sounds like faint praise, but I mean it as real praise. ;) She has multi-page footnotes, breaks the fourth wall in HILARIOUS ways, and introduces you to characters like I. K. Brunel. This is a book that I treasure, and I wish I could explain why I love it. It is a comic book about Nerd Things, with footnotes, and footnotes for footnotes, and so on. It's a labor of love, masterfully executed, and I feel like I want to read parts of it again for the fun of it.
