Somewhere, some time, I heard that Scientologists believed in
something called the "Big Clam" but that may be someone's fantasy of
what they believe. I was told that as if it were true. I know zip
about Scientology, except that 40 years ago (plus) I sold
encyclopedias for a (very) short while on a crew led by a guy who
claimed to be a Scientologist who had worked his way to clear. He was
damned near as snotty as Tom Cruise and not a whole lot brighter.
