The most terrifying thing in the world.

[Cyrano]

In the book "1984," the final step in the government's torturing of people was sending them to Room 101 which contained the most terrifying thing in the world.

(Warning: If you are planning to read the book, stop here so I don't ruin it for you.)

As it turns out, Room 101 contains whatever any given individual is most terrified of. It could be drowning, or roaches, or ... well, take your pick. You're the one who knows what frightens you most.

To me, it would be a room in which a loudspeaker was blaring out King George's speeches. Pictures of him would be flashing on a giant screen and I would constantly be asked what he's talking about. Every time I got it wrong, I'd receive an electric shock to my privates. I'd have no way of knowing if this would ever end.

Is your personal fear worse than that?

Being put in a room with W and having to breath the same air as him.

5. Room 101 is a great British program

Anyone seen it?

Room 101
Ever wanted to banish away the things that drive you absolutely insane with fear, rage or annoyance? Lock them up for ever, never to bother you again? Well, that's the idea behind Room 101, in which celebrities list things they would rather be rid of and try to make a case for each of their pet hates to be sent into Room 101.

I'd throw the Bush** administration and every last freeper in head first.

More on where Room 101 comes from:

Orwellian nightmare
Room 101 refers to a secret chamber in George Orwell's bleak novel 1984. In the novel, when the hero Winston asks what's inside, the reply is "the worst thing in the world." Bizarrely, Orwell's own inspiration for Room 101 lies back at the door of the BBC, as it was the office number of a senior BBC programme editor who often rejected or edited Orwell's work. Orwell took revenge by making the editor's room a fictional place of great horror and evil.

8. Another outstanding piece of work, Swamp Rat.

(Just a side thought. Given your many great illustrations, you're going to make green the most unpopular color in the world.)

I LOVE green.

I won't be giving it up any time soon. :7
