Aside

I just received the strangest phone call.

I answered and a recording told me that I had received a text message from a Rogers Wireless subscriber. Then recording then ended and a text-to-speech system read out the content of the message. Apparently Rogers hasn’t invested heavily in TTS, since the message sounded like SAM reading text on my Commodore in the 80s, but that only made the whole thing weirder.

The content of the message?

“The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you.”
