Dear DS Fellow Fans,
If I were Barnabas, I think that I would have far more important things to accomplish (or obtain) with the "secret magic number of the universe" than trying to drive the good Dr. Hoffman around the bend.
I would use the "secret magic number of the universe" to divine the winning numbers for the following games of chance: Power Ball, The Big Game, The Irish Sweepstakes, the table games of both the Las Vegas and Atlantic City Casinos, and, every lottery in each of the fifty states of the Union!
Apparently, the "secret magic nmber of the universe" is an almost ineffable incantation. Lord knows, I had the TV volume up at full blast when Barnabas recited the all-important words (apparently in Latin). But, alas, to no avail. I still couldn't quite decipher what Barnabas was saying. I think that I'll ask my old high school Latin teacher (Brother Ignatius) if he can lip-read Mr.B.'s silent whisperings.

PS Apparently, the Collinsport Army/Navy store was a having a sale on those brown Latvian Navy WAVE uniforms. (Carolyn looked just smashing in her sailor suit. How can Tony resist her in that outfit?)
