1:11:35 – The Incredible True Facts of Space presents a whimsical and surreal narrative that intertwines various themes, such as cats cooking spaghetti, elevator safety, aliens, and dimension travel instructions. It includes anecdotes about cats, Italian food references, and philosophical musings.

The commercial breaks within the text, advertise Elevator World Magazine and introduce peculiar concepts like traveling to another dimension using an elevator. The narrative also touches on topics like kite-making, batteries, and the Titanic sinking. The story weaves together a tapestry of eccentric characters and events, creating a unique and imaginative reading experience.

Unfortunately, the files were never transferred over to the new server – though it said they were being transferred. I contacted support and they said they will need to manually migrate the files.

I thought everything was fixed, but who knows what will happen on the new server.
