h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

although they come in handy in certain circumstances for some individuals who perform acts, rather than live 'em out thru their brain/body connection, mirrors are verboten, as they are 'leaks' to another universe, possibly the multiverse, and can steal some folks' souls.
i repeat, mirrors ARE useful as tools, but dangerous, not just to we, the undead, but to the others among us.
and

To quote humourist Dave Barry: 'I swear I'm not making this up'. I read an article on Fung Shui that said you should remove mirrors from the bedroom because they disturb your sleep (I think they let chi leak out or something). Mirrors in the dining room are OK, though.

Say, do you suppose that mirrors would let calories leak out!? Maybe we've got ourselves a new diet fad here: sit in front of a mirror and eat whatever you like!

Mmmmm....
Bring it on!!!

A) i don't want to eat in the loo, bathroom, toilet. i prefer the kitchen table, with a newspaper to read, a teevee within sight/ hearing, preferably.
B) i can't remember what sci-fi writer called mirrors 'leaks' but asimov, clarke and heinlein are prime suspects.
C) mirrors in the dining room ? possibly a good idea, but the family really doesn't need to see me and my nephew scarfing the last of the serving bowls, now does it ?(carrying the empty plates and bowl, silverware to the kitchen gets us first dibs on leftovers, tho.)

D) further testing seems to be required.
and i seem to need nutrition, at present.
