Description

Why is immortality reserved just for jellyfish?  Can bio-bots perform rescue missions in the Bermuda triangle?  Has anyone else noticed that Keanu Reeves eerily takes on the flavor of ANY movie? When Mercury retrograde is afoot, these are the questions that come up!  Maybe that same mercurial interference is also responsible for the gaps in Nina's memory, and caused Reno to impale his leg muscle on a drum set.  Despite the cosmic assault on communication and coordination, Reno and Nina navigate their way through a panoply of topics from yoga for the blind to 3D computers, and Nina even analyzes Reno's and Michael's dreams.
