Evolution at work

The non-educated delinquents (NEDs) of Narnia started acting like asses long before their transformation began.

For those of you who don't know much about Izzard, check out Kevin Pollack's chat show interview with him (warning: it's two-and-a-half hours long). The man is actually quite amazing. A maniac, but amazing.

"Thanks Jeremy, what did you want to talk about?"

"What if she's not into your face?"

"In what way? Kissing?"

"No, like sitting on it in a way that she delivers up her everlasting soul to the Old One."
